Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Policies
The complete list of the Company’s accounting policies is included in the Company’s Annual R​​​​​​​eportReport on Form
10-K
filed on March 1, 20192, 2020 with the SEC. The following are updated, or new accounting policies.policies related to the adoption of the credit losses standard.
Leases
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company utilizes operating leasesconsiders cash equivalents to include short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased. Portions of the balance of cash and cash equivalents were held in financial institutions, various money market funds with fixed and floating net asset values and short-term commercial paper. Money market funds have floating net asset values and may be subject to gating or liquidity fees. The Company assesses short-term commercial papers for allimpairment in connection with investments in marketable debt securities,
available-for-sale.
The likelihood of realizing material losses from cash and cash equivalents, including the excess of cash balances over federally insured limits, is remote.
Commissions Receivable, Net
Commissions receivable, net consists of commissions earned on brokerage and financing transactions for which payment has not yet been received. The Company evaluates the need for an allowance for credit losses based on consideration of historical experience, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. The majority of commissions receivable are settled within 10 days after the close of escrow. The allowance for credit losses for commissions receivable was 0t material as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
Advances and Loans, Net
Advances and loans, net includes amounts advanced and loans due from the Company’s investment sales and financing professionals.
In order to attract and retain highly skilled professionals, from time to time, the Company advances funds to its facilitiesinvestment sales and autos.financing professionals. The advances are typically in the form of forgivable loans that have terms that are generally between 5 and 10 years. The principal amount of a forgivable loan and accrued interest are forgiven over the term of the loan, so long as the investment sales and financing professionals continue to be a service provider with the Company, or upon achieving contractual performance criteria. Amounts forgiven are charged to selling, general and administrative expense at the time the amounts are forgiven. If the investment sales and financing professional’s relationship with the Company is terminated before the amount advanced is forgiven, the unforgiven amount becomes due and payable. The Company evaluates the need for an allowance for credit losses based on amounts advanced and expected forgiveness, in consideration of historical experience, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. Estimated credit losses, net of any reversals, are charged to credit loss expense included in selling, general and administrative expense. Amounts are generally written off when amounts are determined to be no longer collectable. Accrued interest, when applicable, has historically been immaterial.
The Company, from time to time, enters into various agreements with certain of its investment sales and financing professionals whereby these individuals receive loans. The notes receivable along with stated interest, are typically collected from future commissions or repaid based on the terms stipulated in the respective agreements that are generally between 1 and 7 years . The Company evaluates the need for an allowance for credit losses for the loans based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and forecasts of future economic conditions. Estimated credit losses, net of any reversals, are charged to credit loss expense included in selling, general and administrative expense. Amounts are generally written off when amounts are determined to be no longer collectable.

Investments in Marketable Debt Securities,
Available-for-Sale
The Company maintains a portfolio of investments in a variety of fixed and variable rate debt securities, including U.S. treasuries, U.S. government sponsored entities, corporate debt, asset-backed securities (“ABS”) and other. The Company considers its investments in marketable debt securities to be
available-for-sale,
and accordingly are recorded at their fair values. The Company determines if an arrangement is a leasethe appropriate classification of investments in marketable debt securities at inception.
Right-of-use
assets (“ROU assets”) represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset fortime of purchase. Interest along with accretion and amortization of purchase premiums and discounts from the lease termpurchase date through the estimated maturity date, including consideration of variable maturities and lease liabilities represent the Company’s contractual obligation to make lease payments under the lease. Operating leasescall provisions, are included in operating lease ROU assets,

captionsother (expense) income, net in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.statements of net and comprehensive income. The Company typically invests in highly-rated debt securities, and its investment policy generally limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. The policy requires substantially all investments to be investment grade, with the primary objective of minimizing the potential risk of principal loss and matching long-term liabilities.
Operating lease ROUThe Company reviews quarterly its investment portfolio of all securities in an unrealized loss position to determine if an impairment charge or credit reserve is required. The Company excludes accrued interest from both the fair value and the amortized cost basis of marketable debt securities,
available-for-sale,
for the purposes of identifying and measuring an impairment. An investment is impaired if the fair value is less than its amortized cost basis. Impairment relating to credit losses is recorded through a reduction in the amortized cost of the security or an allowance for credit losses and credit loss expense (included in selling, general and administrative expense), limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Impairment that has not been recorded as a credit loss is recorded through other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable taxes. The Company made an accounting policy election to not measure an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivables. The Company evaluates
write-off
of accrued interest receivable by the major security-type level at the time credit loss exists for the underlying security.
Determining whether a credit loss exists requires a high degree of judgment and the Company considers both qualitative and quantitative factors in making its determination. The Company evaluates its intent to sell, or whether the Company will more likely than not be required to sell, the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. For all securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company evaluates, among other items, the extent and length of time the fair market value of a security is less than its amortized cost, time to maturity, duration, seniority, the financial condition of the issuer including credit ratings, any changes thereto and relative default rates, leverage ratios, availability of liquidity to make principle and interest payments, performance indicators of the underlying assets, analyst reports and liabilities are recognized onrecommendations and changes in base and market interest rates. If qualitative and quantitative analysis is sufficient to conclude that an impairment related to credit losses does not exist, the commencement date based onCompany typically does not perform further quantitative analysis to estimate 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 the determination of the lease term and lease paymentscash flows expected to be used in calculatingcollected from 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 mostdebt security. Estimates of expected future cash flows are the Company’s leases do not have a determinable implicit rate, the Company uses a derived incremental borrowing ratebest estimate 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

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 assetpast events, current conditions 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, parkingreasonable and other lease related costs, which are determined principally based on billings from landlords.supportable economic forecasts.
ConcentrationConcentrations 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 debt securities,
available-for-sale,
security deposits (included under other assets,
non-current)
and commissions receivable.receivable, net. 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 debt 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 sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, no0 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 months ended June 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, the Company’s Canadian operations represented less thanapproximately 2% and 1% of total revenues.revenues, respectively.

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 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.

The Company invests its excess cash in a diversified portfolio of fixed and variable rate debt securities to meet current and future cash flow needs. All investments are made in accordance with the Company’s approved investment policy. As of March 31, 2020, the portfolio had an average credit rating of AA+ and weighted term to final maturity of 1.8 years, with 54 securities in the portfolio with an unrealized loss aggregating $1.0 million, or 0.6% of amortized cost, and an average credit rating of A.
As of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the Company considers the declines in market value of its marketable securities, available-for-sale to be temporary in natureperformed an impairment analysis and does not consider any of its investments other-than-temporarily impaired.determined an allowance for credit losses was 0t required.

The Company may sell certainevaluated the securities with an unrealized loss considering severity of its marketable securities, available-for-sale prior to their stated maturities for strategic reasons including, but not limited to, anticipatedloss, credit ratings, specific credit events during the period since acquisition, overall likelihood of default, market sector, potential impact from the current economic situation and a review of an issuer’s liquidity and capital requirements, anticipatedfinancial strength, as needed. The Company concluded that it would receive all scheduled interest and principle payments. The Company, therefore, determined qualitatively that the unrealized loss was related to changes in interest rates and other market factors and that no allowance for credit deterioration, duration management or when a security no longer meets the criteria of the Company’s investment policy.

Acquisitions, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
 
Through acquisitions, the Company expanded its network of its real estate sales professionals and provided further diversification to its real estate brokerage services.
14

MARCUS & MILLICHAP, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Acquisitions are accounted for as a business combination, and the results are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements beginning on the acquisition date. The aggregate consideration generally includes: (i) cash paid at closing and (ii) the fair value of contingent and deferred consideration using a probability-weighted, discounted cash flow estimate on achieving certain financial metrics or service and time requirements. Contingent and deferred consideration are included in accounts payable and other liabilities and other liabilities captions in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The goodwill recorded as part of the acquisitions primarily arises from the acquired assembled workforce and commercial sales platform. The Company expects all of the goodwill to be tax deductible, with the
tax-deductible
amount of goodwill related to the contingent and deferred consideration to be determined once the cash payments are made to settle any contingent and deferred consideration. The goodwill resulting from acquisitions is allocated to the Company’s 1 reporting unit.

The Company evaluates goodwill and intangible assets 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. As of March 31, 2020, the Company considered the
COVID-19
pandemic as a triggering event and evaluated its goodwill and intangible
14assets for impairment testing. The Company considered the impact from the
COVID-19
induced economic slowdown and current projected recovery timeframes and their impact on goodwill and intangible assets. The Company concluded that as of March 31, 2020, there was no impairment of its goodwill and intangible assets.

SARs Liability
Prior to the IPO, certain employees of the Company were granted SARs under a stock-based compensation program assumed by MMC. In connection with the IPO, the SARs agreements were revised, the MMC liability of $20.0 million for the SARs was frozen as of
March 31, 2013
, and was transferred to MMI through a capital distribution. The SARs liability will be settled with each participant in
ten
annual installments in January of each year upon retirement or termination from service, or in full upon consummation of a change in control of the Company.
Under the revised agreements, MMI is required to accrue interest on the outstanding balance beginning on
January 1, 2014
at a rate based on the
10-year
treasury note, plus 2%. The rate resets annually. The rates at January 1, 2020 and 2019 were 3.920% and 2018 were 4.684% and 4.409%, respectively. MMI recorded interest expense related to this liability of $226,000$178,000 and $224,000$226,000 for the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, respectively, and $452,000 and $449,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Estimated payouts within the next twelve months for participants that have separated from service have been classified as current. During the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, the Company made total payments of $2.1 million and $1.7 million, (consistingconsisting of principal and accumulated interest) and $1.5 million, respectively (consisting of accumulated interest).interest, 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 sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, the Company made total payments to participants of $786,000$358,000 and $387,000,$315,000, respectively.

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 provide and validate the values utilized.
The degree of judgment used in measuring the fair value of financial instruments is generally inversely correlated with the level of observable valuation inputs. Financial instruments with quoted prices in active markets generally have more pricing observability and less judgment is used in measuring fair value. Financial instruments for which no quoted prices are available have less observability and are measured at fair value using valuation models or other pricing techniques that require more judgment.
Assets recorded at fair value are measured and classified in accordance with a fair value hierarchy consisting of the three “levels” based on the observability of inputs available in the marketplace used to measure the fair values as discussed below:
Level
 1:
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level
 2:
Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; or
Level
 3:
InputsUnobservable inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model. Management estimates include certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The Company values its investments including commercial paper and floating NAVnet asset value money market funds recorded in cash and cash equivalents, investments in marketable debt securities,
available-for-sale,
assets held in the Rabbi Trust, acquired MSR contractsrabbi trust, 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 debt securities,
available-for-sale
were determined for each individual security in the investment portfolio and all these securities are LevelsLevel 1 or 2 measurements as appropriate.
Fair values for assets held in the Rabbi Trustrabbi trust and related deferred compensation liability were determined based on the cash surrender value of the company owned variable life insurance policies and underlying investments in the trust, and are Level 2 and Level 1 measurements, respectively.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, from time to time, the Company measures certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The Company reviews the carrying value of 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 inunder 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 andupon acquisition of a servicing contract. The Company has elected the amortization method for the subsequent measurement of MSRs. MSRs are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. MSRs 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 a discounted cash flow modelsmodel that calculatecalculates 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.

COVID-19
In 2018,January 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared
COVID-19
a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. In February 2020, the WHO raised its assessment of the
COVID-19
threat from high to very high at a global level due to the continued increase in the number of cases and affected countries, and in March 2020, the WHO characterized
COVID-19
as a pandemic. Many states and cities, including where we also addedconduct our business activities, have reacted by instituting quarantines, restrictions on travel, “shelter in place” rules, restrictions on types of business that may continue to operate, and may limit the activity of our sales and financing professionals in engaging with our clients. We have implemented work from home protocols for all of our offices, and most of our employees and investment sales and financing professionals based in the United States and Canada are currently working remotely.
We are closely monitoring the impact of
COVID-19
pandemic on all aspects of our business and in the regions we operate. We did not incur significant disruptions through March 15, 2020, which marked the onset of wide-spread “shelter in place” mandates. Since then, we have seen increases in closing timelines, died transactions, cancelled contracts and miss-priced listings. Overall the economic shut-down and “shelter in place” mandates are slowing our real estate brokerage and financing transaction activity, and, in certain cases, restricting the ability of borrowers to access the capital markets and other sources of financing. Further, the effect of the
COVID-19
restrictions, including an extended period of remote work arrangements and the effects of preventative and precautionary health measures mandated to us by federal, state and local governments will likely affect our ability to identify and close commercial mortgage servicingreal estate transactions.
The long-term impact of the disruption in financial markets, consumer spending, unemployment as well as other unanticipated consequences remain unknown. Additionally, we are unable to predict the impact that the
 COVID-19
 pandemic will have on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows due to numerous uncertainties and the fluidity of this situation, but we anticipate that total revenues will be negatively impacted for the second and third quarter of 2020 until normal business conditions resume. These uncertainties include the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures and actions and the impact of these and other factors on our employees, independent contractors and clients and potential clients.
We continue to monitor the expected trends and related demand for our services and will continue to adjust our operations accordingly. In response to this period of business disruption, we have assessed our cost structure and instituted various controllable expense reduction initiatives, including but not limited to, base salary reductions for senior executives, management and key personnel, furloughs and layoffs to preserve our balance sheet and financial position. We believe real estate sales and financing services.volumes will improve and eventually post solid growth as the market is able to assess the impact of the economic shut down on property occupancies, rent collections and values and when financing flows improve. Due to a high degree of uncertainty, the timing of this recovery in real estate transactions and therefore our revenues is difficult to forecast. Our priority is to support our team’s efforts to increase client contact, provide expanded content and advisory services to investors and clients and preserve our financial position through expense reductions. We believe our company will be well positioned to benefit from and lead in the real estate transaction recovery when it emerges.
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 investmentinvestor 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 rapid spread of
COVID-19
across the globe and into the U.S. has dramatically impacted the global, U.S. and key local economies in which we operate. The movement of 95 percent of the U.S. population to
“sheltering-in-place”
and the associated shutdown of numerous businesses has taken a heavy toll on employment, consumption and many other segments of the economy. Action by both the Federal Reserve and Congress appear to have largely sustained financial market liquidity while delivering resources to support local governments, the healthcare sector, businesses of all sizes and the general public. However, with the magnitude and duration of the pandemic still in question, the severity and length of the economic impact remains unclear. The broad range of unknowns, including the impact of large-scale furloughs and layoffs as well as the significant short-term changes in public policy such as those forestalling evictions have increased investor uncertainty. We believe these and other conditions caused many investors to step to the sidelines until additional clarity emerges.

Commercial Real Estate Supply and Demand
Our business is dependent on the willingness of investors to invest in or sell commercial real estate, which is affected by many factors beyond our control. These factors include the supply of commercial real estate coupled with user demand for these properties and the performance of real estate assets when compared with other investment alternatives, such as stocks and bonds.
The COVID-19 pandemic quickly transformed the 2020 real estate market outlook from a promising start to one with significant uncertainty. Although occupancy levels have technically remained elevated for most property types, questions surrounding rent collections remains an issue for operators, potential buyers and financiers alike. Preliminary indicators point to differing results for different real estate asset classes. With the CARES stimulus package beginning to flow to the businesses and people that need it and with several states starting to take initial steps to cautiously reopen, pressures on the economy and commercial real estate may begin to ease in the future, which should increase both supply and demand. However, such easing will be dependent on the nature of, severity of and speed with which the federal, state and local governments mandate and eventually begin to lift the preventative and precautionary measures our business will be subject to as it begins to resume normal operations.
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.
Financial markets faced significant pressure from the economic and financial shockwave spawned by the pandemic, but we believe that action by the Federal Reserve largely sustained current market liquidity. The Fed’s commitment to quantitative easing, including the purchase of commercial mortgage backed securities (“CMBS”), as well as its main street lending programs and wide range of debt facilities have been instrumental in ensuring that lending is available across the business and investment spectrum. Despite these measures, access to acquisition capital has tightened, with active lenders increasing their spreads over the exceptionally low
10-year
Treasury rate. CMBS lenders have largely been absent from the market since the onset of the pandemic, and major national banks have set elevated rates that in many cases have not been competitive. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have increased their reserve requirements, slowing the lending flow for apartment investments. Local community banks and credit unions have been the most active capital source in recent weeks, but their flow of capital was temporarily impeded by the flood of applications for CARES Act created Paycheck Protection Program lending. Although lending processes have been slowed by the pandemic, we believe that sufficient capital flow has been available to meet market needs in most cases.
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.
Questions about all facets of the real estate sector outlook as well as logistics hurdles impacting appraisals, site visits and the closing process have adversely impacted transaction activity. Many institutional investors moved to the sidelines in March, while many private investors remained active in their local markets. Investors in a 1031 tax deferred exchange sustained much of the activity as the market slowed, but the IRS extension of 1031 exchange timelines until July 15 may reduce some of the time pressure and urgency for investors. We understand that a wide range of well-funded investors are awaiting opportunistic acquisitions. Despite the significant toll the pandemic has had on the U.S. economy, strong underwriting practices and sturdy investor balance sheets have helped mitigate the pressure felt by property owners. In addition, many impacted investors, including many hotel owners, have been able to achieve various levels of lender forbearance to bridge the impact of the imposed economic downturn. In our view, many lenders, property owners and tenants understand their need to jointly address the economic consequences of the pandemic and are in the process of developing collaborative strategies to navigate the path ahead.

Investors have been reinvigorated by the interest rate decline as the widening spread between asset yields and debt financing costs has granted increased underwriting latitude. However, the combination of economic momentum and strong fundamentals across most property types has raised seller expectations, causing them to price assets aggressively in many cases. Buyers, however, continue to demonstrate increased caution as they consider the maturing growth cycle and the prospects of a recession occurring during their hold period. The resulting gap in 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 botheither positively andor negatively by major economic or political events, such as the
COVID-19
pandemic, 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 also accelerate or delay transactions due to personal or business-related reasons unrelated to economic or political 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 orbe significantly disrupted by the
COVID-19
pandemic due to uncertainties around all aspects of the economy and 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, consulting, advisory and consulting and advisoryother real estate related 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 real estate related revenues, which are primarily comprised of consulting and advisory fees.
Because our business is transaction oriented, we rely on investment sales and financing professionals to continually develop leads, identify properties to sell, 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, advisory and advisoryother real estate 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.
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 (Expense) Income, (Expense), Net
Other (expense) 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 debt 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 otherthe impact of permanent items.items, including principally compensation charges, qualified transportation fringe benefits, reversal of uncertain tax positions, meals and entertainment and
tax-exempt
deferred compensation plan assets. 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$190.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 compared to $199.4$160.7 million for the same period in 2018,2019, an increase of $10.2$30.0 million, or 5.1%18.7%. Total revenues increased as a result of increases in real estate brokerage commissions, financing fees and other revenues, as described below.
Real estate brokerage commissions.
Revenues from real estate brokerage commissions increased to $188.7$171.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 from $181.6$144.9 million for the same period in 2018,2019, an increase of $7.0$26.9 million, or 3.9%18.6%. The increase was primarily driven by the increaseincreases in the number of brokerageinvestment sales transactions (4.7%(14.9%) and average commission rates (1 basis point), partially offset by a decrease in average transaction size (1.4%(3.4%). These increases generated an 18.9% increase in the amount of sales volume. The average commission rate remained comparable.
Financing fees.
Revenues from financing fees increased to $17.7$15.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 from $15.6$13.7 million for the same period in 2018,2019, an increase of $2.2$1.6 million, or 14.0%, in part spurred by growth from acquisitions during 2018.11.8%. The increase was primarily driven by a 20.1% increase in financing volume, partially offset by a 5 basis point reduction in average fee rates. Financing volume was primarily impacted by the 23.2% 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 the average fee rates (1 basis point)transaction size of 2.5%.
Other revenues.
Other revenues increased to $3.2$3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 from $2.2$2.0 million for the same period in 2018,2019, an increase of $1.0$1.5 million, or 44.2%73.6%. The increase was primarily driven by increases in consulting and advisory services during the three months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in 2018.2019.

Total Operating Expenses
Our total operating expenses were $182.6$171.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 compared to $170.5$142.4 million for the same period in 2018,2019, an increase of $12.2$28.6 million, or 7.1%20.1%. The increase was primarily due to increasesan increase in cost of services, which are variable commissions paid to our investment sales professionals and compensation related costs in connection with our financing activities, and increases in selling, general and administrative costs and to a lesser extent depreciation and amortization, as described below.

Cost of services.
Cost of services increased to $127.8$113.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 from $119.9$91.7 million for the same period in 2018,2019, an increase of $8.0$22.1 million, or 6.7%24.1%. 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 increased to 61.0%59.6% compared to 60.1%57.1% for the same period in 20182019 primarily due to transaction size, mixa higher proportion of transactions closed by our more senior investment sales and brokerage compensation.financing professionals. Traditionally, cost of services as a percent of total revenues is lower during the three-month periods ended March 31 as certain investment professionals may earn a higher commission rate later in the year after meeting annual revenue thresholds. However, due to the uncertainty surrounding
COVID-19,
we expect cost of services as a percent of total revenues to remain elevated in the coming quarters as we expect the majority of the deals closed to be weighted towards senior investment sales and financing professionals.
Selling, general and administrative expense.
Selling, general and administrative expense increased to $52.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 increased $5.9 million, or 12.1%, to $54.9 million from $49.1$48.9 million for the same period in 2018, an increase of $3.8 million, or 7.7%.

Revenues
Our total revenues were $370.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $373.9 million for the same period in 2018, a decrease of $3.6 million, or 1.0%. Total revenues decreased as a result of decreased real estate brokerage commissions, partially offset by increases in financing fees and other revenues, as described below.
Real estate brokerage commissions.
Revenues from real estate brokerage commissions decreased to $333.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $344.2 million for the same period in 2018, a decrease of $10.5 million, or 3.1%. The decrease was primarily driven by the decrease in the number of investment sales transactions (2.9%) and a decrease in average transaction size (0.2%). These factors combined generated a decrease in sales volume of 3.1%.
Financing fees.
Revenues from financing fees increased to $31.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $25.3 million for the same period in 2018, an increase of $6.2 million, or 24.5% in part spurred by growth from acquisitions during 2018. The increase was primarily driven by the increase in the number of financing transactions (15.2%) and an increase in average transaction size (9.2%). 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 million for the six months ended June 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 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $321.5 million for the same period in 2018, an increase of $3.5 million, or 1.1%. The increase 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 of services, which are variable commissions paid to our investment sales professionals and compensation related costs in connection with our financing activities, as described below.
Cost of services.
Cost of services decreased to $219.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $221.5 million for the same period in 2018, a decrease of $2.0 million, or 0.9%. 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 to 59.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to 59.2% for the same period in 2018.
Selling, general and administrative expense.
Selling, general and administrative expense increased to $101.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $97.1 million for the same period in 2018, an increase of $4.6 million, or 4.8%. Increases in our selling, general and administrative expense have been driven by our growth plans and spending’s 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 million increase in sales and promotional marketing expenses to support increased sales activity; (ii) a $1.7 million increase in net other expense categories, primarily driven by the increase in certain licensing fees; (iii) a $1.2 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. These increases were partially offset by (i) a $1.5 million decrease in legal costs and (ii) a $0.8 million decrease in stock-based compensation.
Depreciation and amortization expense.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $2.9 million for the same period in 2018, an increase of $0.9 million, or 30.8%. 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 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $2.9 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,
the value of our deferred compensation plan assets held in the Rabbi Trust and foreign currency gains.
Interest expense
There were no significant changes in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018.
Provision for income taxes
The provision for income taxes was $14.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $14.5 million in the same period in 2018, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 2.2%. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was 27.7% compared to 26.4% for the same period in 2018. The effective income tax rate increased 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.

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 and other
non-cash
items, or Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before (i) interest income and other, including net realized gains (losses) on marketable debt 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
MSRsMSR 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):

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, marketable debt 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 gategating fees. To date, the Company has not experienced any restrictions or gating fees on its ability to redeem funds from money market funds. Although we have historically funded our operations through operating cash flows, there can be no assurance that we can continue to meet our cash requirements entirely through our operations, cash and cash equivalents, proceeds from the sale of marketable debt securities,
available-for-sale
or availability under our credit agreement.

Operating Activities
Cash flows used in operating activities were $24.4$52.8 million for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 compared to cash flows provided by operating activities of $23.0$38.6 million for the same period in 2018.2019. Net cash (used in) provided byused in operating activities is driven by our net income adjusted for
non-cash
items and changes in operating assets and liabilities. The $47.4$14.2 million increased usage in operating cash flows for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in 20182019 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 and an increase in advances to our investment sales and financing professionals, which was partially offset by a reduction in bonus accruals and a reduction in the deferral of certain discretionary 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.
Investing Activities
Cash flows provided by investing activities were $19.6$13.1 million for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 compared to cash flows used in investing activities of $1.4$24.1 million for the same period in 2018.2019. The $21.0$11.0 million decreased usagedecrease in investing cash flows provided by investing activities for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in 20182019 was primarily due to a $23.8$4.0 million reduction in net proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable debt securities,
available-for-sale
for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to a $7.6 million in net proceeds of marketable securities,
available-for-sale
for the same period in 2018 and a $6.2net $6.0 million of outflow for acquisitions net of cash received during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2018March 31, 2020 with no such comparable outflow for the same period in 2019.
Financing Activities
Cash flows used in financing activities were $3.2$2.9 million for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 compared to $2.4$2.0 million for the same period in 2018.2019. The change in cash flows used in financing activities for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in 20182019 was primarily impacted by taxes paid related to net share settlement of stock-based awards.awards and principal payments on stock appreciation rights liability. 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 debt 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. As of March 31, 2020, cash on hand and core-cash investments aggregated $336.9 million, and we had $60.0 million of borrowing capacity under our credit agreement.
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.all due to various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the economic effects of the
COVID-19
pandemic. 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.

Credit Agreement
On June 18, 2014, we entered intoWe 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

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 generaluncertain or changing economic and market conditions, including inflation. However,inflation/deflation arising in connection with and in response to date, we do not believe that general inflation has had a material impact uponthe

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 materialsignificant changes in our critical accounting policies, as disclosed in in our Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 20182019 except for the following:
Investments in Marketable Debt Securities,
Leases
Available-for-Sale
We utilize operating leases for allmaintain a portfolio of investments in a variety of fixed and variable rate debt securities, including U.S. treasuries, U.S. government sponsored entities, corporate debt, asset-backed securities and other. We consider our facilities investments in marketable debt securities to be
available-for-sale,
and autos.accordingly are recorded at their fair values. We determine if an arrangement is a leasethe appropriate classification of investments in marketable debt securities at inception.
Right-of-use
assets (“ROU assets”) represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease termtime of purchase. Interest along with accretion and lease liabilities represent ouramortization of purchase premiums and discounts from the purchase date through the estimated maturity date, including consideration of variable maturities and contractual obligation to make lease payments under the lease. Operating leasescall provisions, are included in the operating lease ROU assets,

captionsother (expense) income, net in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.statements of net and comprehensive income. We typically invest in highly-rated debt securities, and our investment policy generally limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. The policy requires substantially all investments to be investment grade, with the primary objective of minimizing the potential risk of principal loss and matching long-term liabilities.
We review quarterly our investment portfolio of all securities in an unrealized loss position to determine if an impairment charge or credit reserve is required. We exclude accrued interest from both the fair value and the amortized cost basis of marketable debt securities,
available-for-sale,
for the purposes of identifying and measuring an impairment. An investment is impaired if the fair value is less than its amortized cost basis. Impairment relating to credit losses is recorded through a reduction in the amortized cost of the security or an allowance for credit losses and credit loss expense (included in selling, general and administrative expense), limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Impairment that has not been recorded as a credit loss is recorded through other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable taxes. We made an accounting policy election to not measure an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivables. We evaluate
write-off
of accrued interest receivable by the major security-type level at the time credit loss exists for the underlying security.

Operating lease ROUDetermining whether a credit loss exists requires a high degree of judgment and we consider both qualitative and quantitative factors in making our determination. We evaluate our intent to sell, or whether we will more likely than not be required to sell, the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. For all securities in an unrealized loss position, we evaluate, among other items, the extent and length of time the fair market value of a security is less than its amortized cost, time to maturity, duration, seniority, the financial condition of the issuer including credit ratings, any changes thereto and relative default rates, leverage ratios, availability of liquidity to make principle and interest payments, performance indicators of the underlying assets, analyst reports and liabilities are recognized on the commencement date based onrecommendations and changes in base and market interest rates. If qualitative and quantitative analysis is sufficient to conclude that an impairment related to credit losses does not exist, we typically do not perform further quantitative analysis to estimate 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 the determination of the lease term and lease paymentscash flows expected to be used in calculatingcollected from 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 mostdebt security. Estimates of expected future cash flows are our leases do not have a determinable implicit rate, we use a derived incremental borrowing ratebest estimate 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
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 assetpast events, current conditions and considered in the determination of the lease cost.
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, taxesreasonable and other lease related costs, which are determined principally based on billings from landlords.supportable economic forecasts.

Item 3.
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 backedasset-backed securities and other. As of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the fair value of investments in marketable debt securities,
available-for-sale
was $199.2$189.1 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 30, 2019.March 31, 2020. Maturities are maintained consistent with our short-, medium- and long-term liquidity objectives.
Currently, our portfolio of investments predominantly consists of fixed interest rate debt securities; however, a portion of our investment portfolio may consist of variable interest rate debt securities. Our investments in fixed interest rate debt securities are subject to various market risk.risks. Changes in prevailing interest rates may adversely or positively impact their fair market value should interest rates generally rise or fall. Accordingly, we also may have interest rate risk with variable interest rate debt securities as the income produced may decrease if interest rates fall. Contraction in market liquidity may adversely affect the value of portions of our portfolio and affect our ability to sell securities in the time frames required and at acceptable prices. Uncertainty in future market conditions may raise market participant’s expectations of returns, thus impacting the value of securities in our portfolio as well. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, increased demand for treasury securities caused a significant decrease in the yields on treasury securities and unbalanced demand and supply factors created significant liquidity shortfalls until the Federal Reserve initiated market intervention programs to stabilize the market. The following table sets forth the impact on the fair value of our investments as of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 from changes in interest rates based on the weighted average duration of the debt securities in our portfolio (in thousands):

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
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules
13a-15(f),
including maintenance of (i) records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets, and (ii) policies and procedures that provide reasonable assurance that (a) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, (b) our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and our board of directors and (c) we will prevent or timely detect unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
As of June 30, 2019, ourOur management, with the supervision and participation of our Chief Executive Officerchief executive officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer,chief financial officer (“CFO”), has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules
13a-15(e)13a-
15(e) and
15d-15(e)15d-
15(e) under the Exchange Act.Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Form

based on the criteria established under the Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) (2013 framework). Based upon thaton such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officermanagement has concluded that as of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures wereare designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective in ensuringto provide reasonable assurance that material information we are required to be disclosed by usdisclose 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 ensuringof the SEC, and that such material information is accumulated by and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive OfficerCEO and Chief Financial Officer,CFO, 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

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 ouran 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.
Item 1A.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes from the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019, other than the new risk factor below relating to the
COVID-19
pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic
has adversely affected and could continue to adversely affect
how we operate our business, and the duration and extent to which it will impact our future results of operations and overall financial performance is unknown.
The
COVID-19
pandemic is a prolonged widespread global health crisis that has adversely affected and could continue to adversely affect the broader economies, capital markets and overall demand for our services.
Government imposed restrictions, including the current state and local level
shelter-in-place
orders, that are implemented as a result of a pandemic can affect our clients or potential clients’ ability or willingness to purchase properties with limited or no ability to view properties; delay the closing of real estate sales and financing transactions; increase the borrowing cost and reduce the availability of debt financing; impact our ability to provide or deliver services to our clients or potential clients; and/or temporarily delay our expansion efforts. The current
COVID-19
pandemic, the reoccurrence of the
COVID-19
pandemic or a future pandemic, could materially affect our future sales, operating results and overall financial performance due to, among other factors:
Item 2.
Any impairment in value of our investments in marketable debt securities,
available-for-sale,
tangible or intangible assets, which could be recorded as a result of weaker economic conditions.
A potential negative impact on the health of our employees and investment sales and financing professionals, particularly if a significant number of them are impacted, could result in a deterioration in our ability to ensure business continuity during a disruption.
If significant portions of our workforce are unable to work effectively, including because of quarantines, facility closures, ineffective remote work arrangements or technology failures or limitations, our operations would be adversely impacted.
The long-term potential economic impact of a pandemic may be difficult to assess or predict. A pandemic, such as the current
COVID-19
pandemic, can result in significant long-term disruption of global financial markets, and a recession or long-term market correction could have a material direct impact on the flow of capital to the commercial real estate market and/or the willingness of investors to invest in or sell commercial real estate. This may adversely impact the demand for our services as well as the value of our common stock and our access to capital.
We did not incur significant disruptions during the three months ended March 31, 2020 from the
 COVID-19
 pandemic. To date, we have seen an increase in closing timelines, slowing of our real estate brokerage and financing transaction activity, and, in certain cases, restricted ability of borrowers to access the capital markets and other sources of financing. Further, the effect of the
COVID-19
restrictions on our operations, including an extended period of remote work arrangements and preventative and precautionary health measures mandated to us by federal, state and local governments will likely affect our ability to identify and close commercial real estate transactions. If we are not able to respond to and manage the impact of such events effectively, our business will be harmed.
Please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Position and Results of Operations” for a more detailed discussions of the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated economic disruptions.
