NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.	Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

Marcus & Millichap, Inc. (the “Company”, “Marcus & Millichap”, or “MMI”), a Delaware corporation, is a brokerage firm specializing in commercial real estate investment sales, financing, research and advisory services. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2019, MMI operated 8082 offices in the United States and Canada through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including the operations of Marcus & Millichap Capital ~~Corporation.~~Corporation

Reorganization and Initial Public Offering

MMI was formed in June 2013 in preparation for Marcus & Millichap Company (“MMC”) to

spin-off

its majority owned subsidiary, Marcus & Millichap Real Estate Investment Services, Inc. (“MMREIS”). Prior to the initial public offering (“IPO”) of MMI, all of the preferred and common stockholders of MMREIS (including MMC and employees of MMREIS) contributed all of their outstanding shares to MMI, in exchange for new MMI common stock. As a result, MMREIS became a wholly-owned subsidiary of MMI. Thereafter, MMC distributed 80.0% of the shares of MMI common stock to MMC’s shareholders and exchanged the remaining portion of its shares of MMI common stock for cancellation of indebtedness of MMC. MMI completed its IPO on

October 30, 2013

Basis of Presentation

The financial information presented in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, has been prepared in accordance with rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for quarterly reports on Form

10-Q

and Article

10-01

of Regulation

S-X.

Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2018 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form

10-K

filed on March 1, 2019 with the SEC. The results of the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019, for other interim periods or future years.

Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of 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.

Segment Reporting

The Company follows U.S. GAAP for segment reporting, which requires reporting information on operating segments in interim and annual financial statements. Substantially all of the Company’s operations involve the delivery of commercial real estate services to our customers including real estate investment sales, financing (including mortgage servicing rights revenue) and consulting and advisory services. Management makes operating decisions, assesses performance and allocates resources based on an ongoing review of these integrated operations, which constitute the Company’s only operating segment for financial reporting purposes.

Reclassifications

Certain prior-period amounts in Note 13 – “Income Taxes” have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These changes had no impact on the previously reported consolidated results of operations or any totals or subtotals therein.

2.	Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Policies

The complete list of the Company’s accounting policies is included in the Company’s Annual ~~Report~~Report on Form

10-K

filed on March 1, 2019 with the SEC. The following are updated or new accounting policies.

Leases

The Company utilizes operating leases for all its facilities and autos. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception.

Right-of-use

assets (“ROU assets”) represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s contractual obligation to make lease payments under the lease. Operating leases are included in operating lease ROU assets,

non-current,

and operating lease liabilities current and

non-current

captions in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized on the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Lease agreements may contain periods of free rent or reduced rent, predetermined fixed increases in the minimum rent and renewal or termination options, all ~~impacting~~of which impact the determination of the lease term and lease payments to be used in calculating the lease liability. Certain facility leases provide for rental escalations related to increases in the lessors’ direct operating expenses. The Company uses the implicit rate in the lease when determinable. As most of the Company’s leases do not have a determinable implicit rate, the Company uses a derived incremental borrowing rate based on borrowing options under its credit agreement. The Company applies a spread over treasury rates for the indicated term of the lease based on the information available on the commencement date of the lease. The Company typically leases general purpose

built-out

office space, which reverts to the lessor upon termination of the lease. Any payments for completed improvements, determined to be owed by the lessor, net of incentives received, are recorded as an increase to the ROU asset and considered in the determination of the lease cost.

The Company has lease agreements with lease and

non-lease

components, which are accounted for as a single lease component. Lease cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments consist of common area costs, insurance, taxes, utilities, parking and other lease related costs, which are determined principally based on billings from landlords.

Concentration of Credit Risk

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 assets

non-current),

investments in marketable securities,

available-for-sale,

security deposits (included under other assets,

non-current)

and commissions receivable. 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 and money market funds that represent amounts recorded as 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 maintains allowances, as needed, for estimated credit losses based on management’s assessment of the likelihood of collection. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2019 and 2018, no transaction represented 10% or more of total revenues. Further, while one or more transactions 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~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company’s Canadian operations represented less than 1% of total revenues.

During the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2019 and 2018, no0 office represented 10% or more of total revenues.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No.

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 adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2019, which resulted in the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases. Upon adoption, the Company, in determining ROU assets, also considered currently recorded amounts related to differences in straight line lease expense and cash lease payments and prepaid rent. ROU assets and operating lease obligations in connection with adoption of the new lease standard were $76.7 million. At

On the

adoption date, the Company reclassified deferred rent in the amount of $5.6 million (the noncurrent portion was included in defered rent and other liabilities, and the current portion was included in accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets) and prepaid rent in the amount of $13.4 million to ROU assets. The Company also reclassified prepaid rent in the amount of $462,000 to other assets, current.

The adoption of the new standard had a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet, but did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of net and comprehensive income.

The Company elected available practical expedients permitted under the guidance, which among other items, allow the Company to (i) carry forward its historical lease classification, (ii) not reassess leases for the definition of “lease” under the new standard, (iii) utilize a discount rate as of the effective date and (iv) not record leases that expired or were terminated prior to the effective date.

The Company made an accounting policy election to account for lease and

non-lease

components as a single lease component.

The Company implemented internal controls and key system functionality to enable the preparation of the required financial information.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No.

2017-08,

Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities

(“ASU

2017-08”).

The Company adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2019. ASU

2017-08

shortens the amortization period of a callable security that was acquired at a premium to the earliest call date of that security instead of the contractual life of the security. The adoption of ASU

2017-08

did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Pending Adoption

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.

2016-13,

Financial ~~Instruments -~~ Instruments—Credit Losses

(“ASU

2016-13”).

ASU

2016-13

is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. For the Company, the new standard will be effective on January 1, 2020. Under ASU

2016-13,

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 impairment losses. At June 30, 2019, the Company had $199.2 million in marketable securities, available for sale which would be subject to this new standard. As of June 30, 2019, 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~~ impairment model for marketable securities,

available-for-sale

and other financial assets, and due to the average credit rating of its marketable securities, and nature and type of the

available-for-sale

and other financial assets it holds, the Company does not expect the standard to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements at adoption or in subsequent periods. ~~The Company does not plan to early adopt ASU~~

~~2016-13.~~

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No.

2018-13,

Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure ~~Framework -~~ Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement

(“ASU

2018-13”).

ASU

2018-13

is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. For the Company, the new standard will be effective on January 1, 2020. ASU

2018-13

modifies prior disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. ASU

2018-13

removes certain disclosure requirements related to the fair value hierarchy, such as removing the requirement to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, modifies existing disclosure requirements related to measurement uncertainty and adds new disclosure requirements for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements, such as disclosing the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2019, the Company had contingent consideration liability of $2.9 million and mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) of $2.0 million measured as Level 3. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard and does not expect ASU

2018-13

to have a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No.

2018-15,

Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)

Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract

(“ASU

2018-15”).

ASU

2018-15

is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. For the Company, the new standard will be effective on January 1, 2020. ASU

2018-15

aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain

internal-use

software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license), by permitting a customer in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract to capitalize certain implementation costs as if the arrangement was an

internal-use

software project. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard and does not expect ASU

2018-15

to have a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Under the revised agreements, MMI is required to accrue interest on the outstanding balance beginning on

January 1, 2014

at a rate based on the

10-year

treasury note plus 2%. The rate resets annually. The rates at January 1, 2019 and 2018 were 4.684% and 4.409%, respectively.

Commissions Payable

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.

Deferred Compensation Liability

A select group of management is eligible to participate in the Marcus & Millichap Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”). The Deferred Compensation Plan is a

non-qualified

deferred compensation plan that is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and permits participants to defer compensation up to

the

limits set forth in the Deferred Compensation Plan. Amounts are paid out generally when the participant is no longer a service provider; however, an

in-service

payout election is available to participants. Participants may elect to receive payouts as a lump sum or quarterly over a two to fifteen-year period. The Company elected to fund the Deferred Compensation Plan through company owned variable life insurance policies. The Deferred Compensation Plan is managed by a third-party institutional fund manager, and the deferred compensation and investment earnings are held as a Company asset in a rabbi trust, which is recorded in assets held in rabbi trust in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The assets in the trust are restricted unless the Company becomes insolvent, in which case the trust assets are subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors. The Company may also, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to withdraw at any time a portion of the trust assets by an amount by which the fair market value of the trust assets exceeds 110% of the aggregate deferred compensation liability represented by the participants’ accounts.

Estimated payouts within the next twelve months for participants that have separated from service or elected in service payout have been classified as current.

During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company made total payments to participants of ~~$786,000~~$1.3 million and ~~$387,000,~~$946,000, respectively.

The assets held in the rabbi trust are carried at the cash surrender value of the variable life insurance policies, which represents its fair value. 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):

10.	Fair Value Measurements

U.S. GAAP defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount that would be received from the sale of an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company is responsible for the determination of the value of the investments carried at fair value and the supporting methodologies and assumptions. The Company uses various pricing sources and third parties 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

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level

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

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.~~model

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company values its investments including commercial paper and floating NAV money market funds recorded in cash and cash equivalents, investments in marketable securities,

available-for-sale,

assets held in the ~~Rabbi Trust,~~rabbi trust, acquired MSR contracts, deferred compensation liability and contingent consideration at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair values for investments included in cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities,

available-for-sale

were determined for each individual security in the investment portfolio and all these securities are ~~Levels~~Level 1 or 2 measurements as appropriate.

Fair values for assets held in the ~~Rabbi Trust~~rabbi trust and ~~related~~r

lated deferred compensation liability were determined based on the cash surrender value of the company owned variable life insurance policies and underlying investments in the trust, and are Level 2 and Level 1 measurements, respectively.

Contingent consideration, in connection with acquisitions, is carried at fair value and determined on a

contract-by-contract

basis, calculated using a probability weighted discounted cash ~~flows~~flow model based on the probability of achieving EBITDA and other service requirements, and is a Level 3 measurement.

The Company values MSRs at fair value upon acquisition of a servicing contract. MSRs do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices, and are a Level 3 measurement.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company reviews the carrying value of MSRs, intangibles, goodwill and other assets for indications of impairment quarterly. When indications of potential impairment are identified, the Company may be required to determine the fair value of those assets and record an adjustment for the carrying amount in excess of the fair value determined. Any fair value determination would be based on valuation approaches

which

are

appropriate in

under

the circumstances and utilize Level 2 and Level 3 measurements as required. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, from time to time, the Company measures certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. MSRs are initially recorded at fair value based on internal models and are a Level 3 measurement. The Company’s MSRs do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices. The Company has elected the amortization method for the subsequent measurement of MSRs. The estimated fair value of the Company’s MSRs were developed using discounted cash flow models that calculate the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The model considers contractual provisions and assumptions of market participants including 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~~September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. See Note 7 – “Selected Balance Sheet Data – Other Assets – ~~MSR’s”~~MSRs” for additional information.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In 2013, the Company adopted the 2013 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). The ESPP ~~qualifies~~

is intended to qualify

under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code and provides for consecutive,

non-overlapping

6-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 was a compensatory plan and is required to expense the fair value of the awards over each

~~-month~~6-month

offering period.

The ESPP initially had 366,667 shares of common stock reserved

and 214,872 shares of common stock remain available for issuance at ~~June~~September 30, 2019. The ESPP 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 compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors. Pursuant to the provisions of the ESPP, the board of directors has determined to not provide for any annual increases to date. At ~~June~~September 30, 2019, total unrecognized compensation cost related to the ESPP was ~~$61,000~~$20,000 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of ~~0.38~~0.12 years.

SARs and Deferred Stock Units (“DSUs”)

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 were settled in actual stock at a rate of 20% per year if the participant remained 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.

Prior to the adoption of ASU No.

2018-07

on July 1, 2018, such awards were required to be measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period until settlement. Stock-based compensation expense was therefore impacted by the changes in the Company’s common stock price during each reporting period prior to the date of adoption. New awards after the date of adoption are measured based on the grant date closing price of the Company’s common stock consistent with awards made to the Company’s employees and

non-employee

directors.

Overview

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 ~~June~~September 30, 2019, we had ~~1,965~~1,945 investment sales and financing professionals that are primarily exclusive independent contractors operating in 8082 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~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2019, we closed ~~2,535~~2,435 and ~~4,485~~6,920 investment sales, financing and other transactions with total volume of approximately ~~$13.0~~$12.1 billion and ~~$22.8~~$34.9 billion, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we closed 9,472 investment sales, financing and other transactions with total sales volume of approximately $46.4 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 both the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2019, approximately ~~90%~~91% of our revenues were generated from real estate brokerage commissions, 9%8% from financing fees and 1% from other revenues, including consulting and advisory services. During the year ended December 31, 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.

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

Properties priced less than $1 million;

Private client market:

properties priced from $1 million up to $10 million;

Middle market:

properties priced from $10 million up to $20 million; and

Larger transaction market:

properties priced from $20 million and above.

Our strength is in serving private clients in the

$1-$10

million private client market segment, which contributed approximately ~~68%~~67% and ~~65%~~66% of our real estate brokerage commissions during the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and approximately 67% and 65% of our real estate brokerage commissions during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The following tables set forth the number of investment sales transactions, and amount of 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 2018 and in October 2019, we completed acquisitions that expanded our presence in the financing market in the Midwest and in the real estate brokerage market in Canada. In 2018, we also added commercial mortgage servicing to our financing services.

Factors Affecting Our Business

Our business and our operating results, financial condition and liquidity are significantly affected by the number and size of commercial real estate investment sales and financing transactions that we close in any period. The number and size of these transactions are affected by our ability to recruit and retain investment sales and financing professionals, identify and contract properties for sale and identify those that need financing and refinancing. We principally monitor the commercial real estate market through four factors, which generally drive our business. The factors are the economy, commercial real estate supply and demand, capital markets and ~~investment~~investor sentiment and investment activity.

The Economy

Our business is dependent on economic conditions within the markets in which we operate. Changes in the economy on a global, national, regional or local basis can have a positive or 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, including global trade, interest rate changes and job creation, can affect investor sentiment and, ultimately, the demand for our services from investors in real estate.

The U.S. economy delivered moderate growth in the third quarter, but its overall momentum has fluctuated. The Federal Reserve cut interest rates two times in the third quarter and committed to purchasing short-term Treasuries to boost market liquidity. This combination ultimately reversed the yield curve inversion, which could help allay fears of an impending recession. Steady job creation, exceptionally low unemployment and rising wages have all supported increased disposable income levels, personal savings rates and the strength of household balance sheets, resulting in strong consumption levels. This momentum has been partially offset by uncertainty surrounding the trade war with China, which has weighed on U.S. manufacturing, agriculture and exports, restraining the economic growth outlook. Rising geopolitical tensions, both internationally and domestically, have also elevated investor caution, leading to a modest reduction in investor activity.

Commercial Real Estate Supply and Demand

Our business is dependent on the willingness of investors to invest in or sell commercial real estate, which is affected by 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.

Supported by the tight labor market and the accelerated pace of household formation, apartment housing demand remains strong, delivering the lowest third quarter U.S. vacancy rate in 19 years despite heightened construction levels. Hotel and self-storage space demand has likewise outpaced historical averages. However, retail and industrial demand, which has been more sensitive to risks sparked by the trade war, has tapered in 2019. Increasingly cautious corporate expansion plans, together with tight vacancy levels in the most sought-after locations, have curtailed space absorption. Office properties, which remain favored by limited new supply additions, continued their

slow-but-steady

performance gains. Looking forward, tightened construction lending and rising development costs should temper the pace of new supply additions.

Table of Contents

Capital Markets

Credit and liquidity issues in the financial markets have a direct impact on the flow of capital to the commercial real estate market. Real estate purchases are often financed with debt and, as a result, credit and liquidity impact transaction activity and prices. 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, as well as lender and equity underwriting for real estate investments. These changes influence the demand of investors for commercial real estate investments.

The Federal Reserve’s commitment to purchase short-term Treasuries has fueled lower interest rates, driving the

10-year

Treasury to the 1.7% range. Though this has offered buyers increased positive leverage, it has not generated a substantial boost to activity levels. Market liquidity remains elevated, with a range of capital sources offering favorable lending options, but buyer motivation has been moderate. Sellers continue to price assets at a premium, keeping the

bid-ask

spread at a widened level and restraining activity. As a result, transaction flow remains dampened compared to the last few years.

Investor Sentiment and Investment Activity

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.

The ~~resulting~~ gap in pricing expectations remains a modest but steady headwind, extending asset marketing and closing timelines. We believe that sustained economic and fundamentals performance momentum is balancing with caution surrounding financial market volatility, international trade relations and the maturing cycle to offer a generally stable investment climate.

Seasonality

Our real estate brokerage commissions and financing fees have tended to be seasonal and, combined with other factors, can affect an investor’s ability to compare our financial condition and results of operations on a

quarter-by-quarter

basis. Historically, this seasonality has generally caused our revenue, operating income, net income and cash flows from operating activities to be lower in the first half of the year and higher in the second half of the year, particularly in the fourth quarter. The concentration of earnings and cash flows in the last six months of the year, particularly in the fourth quarter, is due to an industry-wide focus of clients to complete transactions towards the end of the calendar year. This historical trend can be disrupted both positively and negatively by major economic or political events impacting investor sentiment for a particular property type or location, volatility in financial markets, current and future projections of interest rates, attractiveness of other asset classes, market liquidity and the extent of limitations or availability of capital allocations for larger property buyers, among others. Private client investors may accelerate or delay transactions due to personal or business-related reasons unrelated to economic events. In addition, our operating margins are typically lower during the second half of each year due to our commission structure for some of our senior investment sales and financing professionals. These senior investment sales and financing professionals are on a graduated commission schedule that resets annually, pursuant to which higher commissions are paid for higher sales volumes. Our historical pattern of seasonality may or may not continue to the same degree experienced in prior years.

Operating Segments

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.

Key Financial Measures and Indicators

Revenues

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.

Table of Contents

Because our business is transaction oriented, 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 from

period-to-period

as a result of changes in the relative mix of the number and volume of investment sales transactions closed in the middle and larger transaction market segments as compared to the

$1-$10

million private client market segment. These factors may result in

period-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 that we would have received had the transaction closed.

Real Estate Brokerage Commissions

We earn real estate brokerage commissions by acting as a broker for commercial real estate owners seeking to sell or investors seeking to buy properties. Revenues from real estate brokerage commissions are typically recognized at the close of escrow.

~~Table of Contents~~

Financing Fees

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

Other Revenues

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.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses consist of cost of services, selling, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization. The significant components of our expenses are further described below.

Cost of Services

The majority of our cost of services expense is variable commissions paid to our investment sales professionals and compensation-related costs related to our financing activities. Commission expenses are directly attributable to providing services to our clients for investment sales and financing services. Most of our investment sales and financing professionals are independent contractors and are paid commissions; however, because there are some who are initially paid a salary and certain of our financing professionals are employees, costs of services also include employee-related compensation, employer taxes and benefits for those employees. The commission rates we pay to our investment sales and financing professionals vary based on individual contracts negotiated and are generally higher for the more experienced professionals. Some of our most senior investment sales and financing professionals 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 our 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 we are the principal service provider. Cost of services, therefore, can vary based on the commission structure of the independent contractors that closed transactions in any particular period.

Table of Contents

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

The largest expense component within selling, general and administrative expenses is personnel expenses for our management team and sales and support staff. In addition, these costs include facilities costs (excluding depreciation and amortization), staff related expenses, sales, marketing, legal, telecommunication, network, data sources, transaction costs related to acquisitions, changes in fair value for contingent consideration and other administrative expenses. Also included in selling, general and administrative are expenses for stock-based compensation to

non-employee

directors, employees and independent contractors (i.e. investment sales and financing professionals) under the Amended and Restated 2013 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (“2013 Plan”) and the 2013 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”).

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

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

Other Income (Expense), Net

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 other

non-operating

gains and losses.

~~Table of Contents~~

Interest Expense

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

Provision for Income Taxes

We are subject to U.S. and Canadian federal taxes and individual state and local taxes based on the income generated in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Our effective tax rate fluctuates as a result of the change in the mix of our activities in the jurisdictions we operate due to differing tax rates in those jurisdictions and other permanent items. Our provision for income taxes includes the windfall tax benefits, net, from shares issued in connection with our 2013 Plan and ESPP.

We record deferred taxes, net based on the tax rate expected to be in effect at the time those items are expected to be recognized for tax purposes.

Revenues

Our total revenues were ~~$209.6~~$198.2 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2019 compared to ~~$199.4~~$210.6 million for the same period in 2018, ~~an increase~~a decrease of ~~$10.2~~$12.4 million, or ~~5.1%~~5.9%.

Real estate brokerage commissions.

Revenues from real estate brokerage commissions ~~increased~~decreased to ~~$188.7~~$180.2 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2019 from ~~$181.6~~$192.0 million for the same period in 2018, ~~an increase~~a decrease of ~~$7.0~~$11.8 million, or ~~3.9%~~6.1%. The ~~increase~~decrease was primarily ~~driven by the increase~~due to decreases in the number of ~~brokerage~~investment sales transactions ~~(4.7%~~(3.1%) and average commission rates (1(18 basis ~~point)~~points), primarily due to decreases in average commission rates in the middle market and larger transaction market segments. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in sales volume (2.9%) driven by the larger transaction market segment, relative to a ~~decrease~~6% decline in ~~average transaction size (1.4%).~~sales volume in the broader market as reported by Real Capital Analytics.

Financing fees.

Revenues from financing fees ~~increased to $17.7~~were $16.0 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2019, which was comparable to $15.9 million for the same period in 2018. There were increases in the number of financing transactions (13.1%), in part due to an increase in refinancing activity, and in average fee rates (6 basis points). The effect of these increases were partially offset by a decrease in the average transaction size (15.9%). The increase in number of financing transactions and the decrease in average transaction size resulted in a decrease in financing volume (4.8%).

Other revenues.

Other revenues decreased to $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from ~~$15.6~~$2.7 million for the same period in 2018, ~~an increase~~a decrease of ~~$2.2~~$0.7 million, or ~~14.0%, in part spurred by growth from acquisitions during 2018.~~24.6%. The ~~increase~~decrease was primarily driven by the increase in the number of financing transactions (11.8%) and an increase in average transaction size (2.1%). These factors combined generated the increase in financing volume of 14.1%. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in average fee rates (1 basis point).

~~Other revenues.~~

Other revenues increased to $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $2.2 million for the same period in 2018, an increase of $1.0 million, or 44.2%. The increase was primarily driven by increasesdecreases in consulting and advisory services during the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018.

Cost of services as a percent of total revenues ~~increased~~decreased to ~~61.0%~~62.6% compared to ~~60.1%~~63.1% for the same period in 2018 primarily due to transaction size, mix and brokerage compensation.

Selling, general and administrative expense.

Selling, general and administrative expense ~~increased~~decreased to ~~$52.8~~$48.1 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2019 from ~~$49.1~~$48.7 million for the same period in 2018, ~~an increase~~a decrease of ~~$3.8~~$0.6 million, or ~~7.7%~~1.2%.

Financial Measure.”

Revenues

Our total revenues were ~~$370.3~~$568.5 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2019 compared to ~~$373.9~~$584.5 million for the same period in 2018, a decrease of ~~$3.6~~$16.0 million, or ~~1.0%~~2.7%. Total revenues decreased as a result of decreased real estate brokerage commissions, partially offset by ~~increases~~an increase in financing fees, ~~and other revenues,~~ as described below.

Real estate brokerage commissions.

Revenues from real estate brokerage commissions decreased to ~~$333.6~~$513.8 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2019 from ~~$344.2~~$536.1 million for the same period in 2018, a decrease of ~~$10.5~~$22.3 million, or ~~3.1%~~4.2%. The decrease was primarily driven by ~~the decrease~~decreases in the number of investment sales transactions ~~(2.9%~~(3.0%) relative to a 5% investment sales transaction decline in the broader market as reported by Real Capital Analytics and ~~a decrease in~~ average commission per transaction ~~size (0.2%~~(1.2%). These factors combined generated ~~a decrease~~decreases in sales volume ~~of 3.1%~~(1.0%) and average commission rates (7 basis points) due to lower average commission rates in the private client market and larger transaction market segments. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in the average transaction size (2.1%).

Financing fees.

Revenues from financing fees increased to ~~$31.5~~$47.5 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2019 from ~~$25.3~~$41.2 million for the same period in 2018, an increase of ~~$6.2~~$6.3 million, or ~~24.5%~~15.2% in part spurred by growth from acquisitions during 2018. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in financing volume (13.5%), in part due to an increase in refinancing activity, as the average fee rate was comparable. Financing volume was impacted by an increase in the number of financing transactions ~~(15.2%~~(14.4%) and ~~an increase~~a decrease in average transaction size ~~(9.2%~~(0.9%)~~. These factors combined generated the increase in financing volume of 25.8%. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in average fee rates (2 basis points)~~.

Other revenues.

Other revenues ~~increased to $5.2~~were $7.2 million for both the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2019 ~~from $4.5 million for the same period in 2018, an increase of $0.7 million, or 16.0%. The increase was primarily driven by increases in consulting~~ and ~~advisory services during the six months June 30, 2019 compared to the same period in~~ 2018.

Total operating expenses

Our total operating expenses were ~~$325.1~~$499.2 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2019 compared to ~~$321.5~~$504.7 million for the same period in 2018, ~~an increase~~a decrease of ~~$3.5~~$5.5 million, or 1.1%. The ~~increase~~decrease was primarily due to ~~an increase in selling, general and administrative costs and to a lesser extent depreciation and amortization, partially offset by~~ a decrease in ~~cost~~costs of services, which are variable commissions paid to our investment sales professionals and compensation related costs in connection with our financing activities, partially offset by increases in selling, general and administrative costs and depreciation and amortization expense, as described below.

Cost of services.

Cost of services decreased to ~~$219.5~~$343.7 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2019 from ~~$221.5~~$354.4 million for the same period in 2018, a decrease of ~~$2.0~~$10.7 million, or ~~0.9%~~3.0%. The decrease was primarily due to decreased commission expenses driven by the related decreased revenues noted above. Cost of services as a percent of total revenues slightly ~~increased~~decreased to ~~59.3%~~60.5% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2019 compared to ~~59.2%~~60.6% for the same period in ~~2018.~~2018 primarily due to transaction size, mix and brokerage compensation.

Selling, general and administrative expense.

Selling, general and administrative expense increased to ~~$101.8~~$149.8 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2019 from ~~$97.1~~$145.8 million for the same period in 2018, an increase of ~~$4.6~~$4.1 million, or ~~4.8%~~2.8%. Increases in our selling, general and administrative expense have been driven by our growth plans and ~~spending’s~~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 ~~$3.0~~$4.8 million increase in sales operations support and promotional marketing ~~expenses to support increased sales activity;~~expenses; (ii) a ~~$1.7~~$2.6 million increase in net other expense categories, primarily driven by ~~the~~an increase in certain licensing fees; and (iii) a ~~$1.2~~$2.4 million increase in facilities expenses due to expansion of existing ~~offices; and (iv) a $1.0 million increase in salaries and related benefits, partially offset by decreases in management performance compensation.~~offices. These increases were partially offset by (i) a ~~$1.5~~$2.0 million decrease in legal ~~costs and~~costs; (ii) a ~~$0.8~~$1.9 million decrease in stock-based compensation; and (iii) a $1.8 million decrease in compensation related costs, including salaries and related benefits and management performance compensation, primarily driven by the reduction in management performance compensation.

Depreciation and amortization expense.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased to ~~$3.8~~$5.7 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2019 from ~~$2.9~~$4.5 million for the same period in 2018, an increase of ~~$0.9~~$1.1 million, or ~~30.8%~~25.3%. The increase was primarily driven by capital expenditures due to our expansion and growth and the amortization of intangible assets and MSRs.

Other income (expense), net

Other income (expense), net increased to ~~$6.5~~$9.1 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2019 from ~~$2.9~~$5.1 million for the same period in 2018. The increase was primarily driven by increases in interest income on our investments in marketable securities,

available-for-sale,

an increase in the value of our deferred compensation plan assets ~~held in the Rabbi Trust~~ and foreign currency ~~gains.~~gains (losses).

Interest expense

There were no significant changes in interest expense for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018.

Provision for income taxes

The provision for income taxes was ~~$14.1~~$21.2 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2019 compared to ~~$14.5~~$22.8 million in the same period in 2018, a decrease of ~~$0.3~~$1.6 million, or ~~2.2%~~7.1%. The effective income tax rate for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2019 was ~~27.7%~~27.3% compared to ~~26.4%~~27.2% for the same period in 2018. The effective income tax rate increased slightly primarily due to an increase in ~~permanent items,~~ the ~~effect of permanent items from a decreased~~

~~pre-tax~~

~~income and an increase of a~~ valuation allowance with respect to our Canadian ~~operations.~~operations, partially offset by a decrease in the blended state tax rate.

Non-GAAP

Financial Measure

In this quarterly report on Form

10-Q,

we include a

non-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, (v) stock-based compensation expense and (vi)

non-cash

~~MSRs~~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. GAAP. We find Adjusted EBITDA asto be a useful tool to assist in evaluating performance because Adjusted EBITDA eliminates items related to capital structure, taxes and

non-cash

items. In light of the foregoing limitations, we do not rely solely on Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure and also consider our U.S. GAAP results. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of our financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net 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):

(3)

The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2019 compared to the same ~~period in 2018 is primarily due to higher proportion of operating expenses compared to revenues. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period~~periods in 2018 is primarily due to lower total revenues and a higher proportion of operating expenses compared to total revenues.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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.

Operating Activities

Cash flows used in operating activities were ~~$24.4~~$6.1 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2019 compared to cash flows provided by operating activities of ~~$23.0~~$55.0 million for the same period in 2018. Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities is driven by our net income adjusted for

non-cash

items and changes in operating assets and liabilities. The ~~$47.4~~$61.1 million increased usage in operating cash flows for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 was primarily due to a decrease in our real estate brokerage revenue and a higher proportion of operating expenses compared to total revenues, differences in timing of certain payments and receipts, an increase in advances to our investment sales and financing professionals, ~~a reduction~~an increase in bonus ~~accruals~~payments in 2019 related to the 2018 bonuses and a reduction in the discretionary deferral of certain ~~discretionary~~ commissions.

Investing Activities

Cash flows provided by investing activities were ~~$19.6~~$21.1 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2019 compared to cash flows used in investing activities of ~~$1.4~~$92.3 million for the same period in 2018. The ~~$21.0~~$113.4 million decreased usage in investing cash flows for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 was primarily due to a ~~$23.8~~$27.9 million in net proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable securities,

available-for-sale

for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2019 compared to a ~~$7.6~~$80.6 million in net ~~proceeds~~purchases of marketable securities,

available-for-sale

for the same period in 2018 and a ~~$6.2~~net $7.0 million of outflow for acquisitions ~~net of cash received~~ during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2018 with no ~~such~~ comparable outflow for the same period in 2019.

Financing Activities

Cash flows used in financing activities were ~~$3.2~~$3.6 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2019 compared to ~~$2.4~~$2.5 million for the same period in 2018. The change in cash flows used in financing activities for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 was primarily impacted by taxes paid related to net share settlement of stock-based awards. See Note 12 – “Stock-Based Compensation Plans” of our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Liquidity

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 (defined below) will be sufficient to satisfy our operating requirements for the foreseeable future. If we need to raise additional capital through public or private debt or equity financings, strategic relationships or other arrangements, this capital might not be available to us in a timely manner, on acceptable terms, or at all. Our failure to raise sufficient capital when needed could prevent us from, among other factors, to fund acquisitions or to otherwise finance our growth or operations. In addition, our notes payable to former stockholders and SARs agreements have provisions, which could accelerate repayment of outstanding principal and accrued interest and adversely impact our liquidity.

~~Table of Contents~~

Credit Agreement

~~On June 18, 2014, we entered into~~We have a Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Bank”), dated as of June 1, 2014, which was amended and restated on May 28, 2019 (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement is intended to provide for future liquidity needs, if needed. The Credit Agreement provides for a $60.0 million principal amount senior secured revolving credit facility that is guaranteed by all of our domestic subsidiaries ~~(the “Credit Facility”), which, as amended~~ and ~~restated,~~ matures on June 1, 2022. We 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. We must pay a commitment fee of up to 0.1% per annum, payable quarterly, based on the amount of unutilized commitments under the Credit Facility.

The Credit Facility includes a $10.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit, of which $533,000 was utilized as of June 30, 2019. As of June 30, 2019, there were no amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

~~Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest, at our option, at either (i) a fluctuating rate per annum 2.00% below the Base Rate (defined as the highest of (a) the Bank’s prime rate, (b)~~

~~one-month~~

~~LIBOR plus 1.50%, and (c) the federal funds rate plus 1.50%~~2022 (the “Credit Agreement”)~~, or (ii) at a fixed rate per annum determined by Bank to be 0.875% above LIBOR.~~

The Credit Facility contains customary covenants, including financial and other covenant reporting requirements and events of default. Financial covenants require us, on a combined basis with our 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, determined on a rolling four-quarter basis, (ii) total funded debt to EBITDA not greater than 2.0:1.0 as of each quarter end, determined on a rolling four-quarter basis and (iii) limits investments in foreign entities and caps certain other loans. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of our assets, including pledges of 100% of the stock or other equity interest of each subsidiary except for the capital stock of a controlled foreign corporation (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code), in which case no such pledge is required.

. See Note 15 – “Commitments and Contingencies” of our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the Credit Agreement.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

There have been no material changes in our commitments under contractual obligations, as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form

for the year ended December 31, 2018 through the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued other than an increase of operating lease obligations of ~~$8.1~~$5.1 million due to new or extended ~~leases and commitments of $9.8 million to current and prospective investment sales and financing professionals, subject to certain conditions and/or reaching performance goals.~~leases.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements.

Inflation

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

Critical Accounting Policies; Use of Estimates

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In applying many of these accounting principles, we make assumptions, estimates and/or judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. These assumptions, estimates and/or judgments, however, are often subjective and our actual results may change based on changing circumstances or changes in our analyses. If actual amounts are ultimately different from our estimates, the revisions are included in our results of operations for the period in which the actual amounts become known. There were no material changes in our critical accounting policies, as disclosed in in our Annual Report on Form

10-K

for the year ended December 31, 2018 except for the following:

Leases

We utilize operating leases for all our facilities and autos. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception.

Right-of-use

assets (“ROU assets”) represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our contractual obligation to make lease payments under the lease. Operating leases are included in the operating lease ROU assets,

non-current,

and operating lease liabilities, current and

non-current,

captions in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

~~Table of Contents~~

Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized on the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Lease agreements may contain periods of free rent or reduced rent, predetermined fixed increases in the minimum rent and renewal or termination options, all ~~impacting~~of which impact the determination of the lease term and lease payments to be used in calculating the lease liability. Certain facility leases provide for rental escalations related to increases in the lessors’ direct operating expenses. We use the implicit rate in the lease when determinable. As most of our leases do not have a determinable implicit rate, we use a derived incremental borrowing rate based on borrowing options under our credit agreement. We apply a spread over treasury rates for the indicated term of the lease based on the information available on the commencement date of the lease. We typically lease general purpose

built-out

We have lease agreements with lease and

non-lease

components, which are accounted for as a single lease component. Lease cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments consist of common area costs, insurance, taxes and other lease related costs, which are determined principally based on billings from landlords.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For information regarding recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 2 – “Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements” of our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The accounting pronouncement related to leases had a material impact on our condensed consolidated balance sheets but did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated statements of net and comprehensive income. Although we do not believe any of the other accounting pronouncements listed in that note will have a significant impact on our business, we are still in the process of determining the impact ~~some~~ of the new pronouncements may have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We maintain a portfolio of investments in a variety of fixed and variable debt rate securities, including U.S. government and federal agency securities, corporate debt securities, asset backed securities and other. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2019, the fair value of investments in marketable securities,

available-for-sale

was ~~$199.2~~$195.3 million. The primary objective of our investment activity is to maintain the safety of principal, and to provide for future liquidity requirements while maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. While some investments may be securities of companies in foreign countries, all investments are denominated and payable in U.S. Dollars. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. While our intent is not to sell these investment securities prior to their stated maturities, we may choose to sell any of the securities for strategic reasons including, but not limited to, anticipated capital requirements, anticipation of credit deterioration, duration management and because a security no longer meets the criteria of our investment policy. We do not use derivatives or similar instruments to manage our interest rate risk. We seek to invest in high quality investments. The weighted average rating (exclusive of cash and cash equivalents) was AA+ as of ~~June~~September 30, 2019. 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 variable interest 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~~September 30, 2019 from changes in interest rates based on the weighted average duration of the securities in our portfolio (in thousands):

~~Change in Interest Rates~~


Change in Interest Rates	Approximate Change in Fair Value of Investments Increase (Decrease)
2% Decrease	$	4,587
1% Decrease	$	2,404

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.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2019, 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 Rules

13a-15(e)

and

15d-15(e)

under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of ~~June~~September 30, 2019, 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.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended ~~June~~September 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

~~Item 1.~~

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

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