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,in November 2013

Considerations Related to the
COVID-19
Pandemic
The
COVID-19
pandemic and resultant shutdown of economic activity across much of the world has led to sharp increases in unemployment, dislocations in debt and equity markets and businesses instituting cost-cutting and capital-preservation measures. There has been a significant impact on commercial real estate markets in the United States and Canada that started at the end of first quarter 2020 and continued through the end of the second quarter of 2020, as many property owners and occupiers have put transactions on hold, driving significantly lower sales volumes. The Company expects the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic to continue to adversely impact its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the remainder of 2020.
See Note 3 – “Property and Equipment, Net”, Note 6 – “Acquisitions, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, Note 10 – “Fair Value Measurements” and Note 15 – “Commitments and Contingencies”
for further discussion on
COVID-19.
Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosures at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.period, including the impact

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 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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers 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 paper for impairment 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.
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 investment sales and 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.

Leases
MARCUS & MILLICHAP, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 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 utilizes operating leases for allmaintains 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 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.
The 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.
Operating lease ROUDetermining 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 of which impact 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.

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 ninethree and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 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.

On the

The Company completed an acquisition of 2 businesses that were accounted for as business combination
s
and the results have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements beginning on the acquisition date
s
. Aggregate terms of these acquisitions included: (i) cash paid at closing of approximately $11.8 million, net of cash received, (ii) the fair value of contingent consideration of $1.8 million using a probability-weighted, discounted cash flow estimate on achieving certain financial metrics
,
and (iii) the fair value of deferred consideration of $3.9 million using a discounted cash flow estimate with
the
only remaining condition on such payments
being
the passage of time. Contingent consideration and deferred consideration are included in accounts payable and other liabilities and other liabilities captions in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 10 – “Fair Value Measurements” for additional information on contingent and deferred consideration.
Based on preliminary purchase price allocations, $8.3 million was allocated to the fair values of intangible assets with the remainder of $9.2 million allocated to goodwill. The Company recorded acquisition related costs of $446,000 and $94,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $1.1 million and $140,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
These amounts are included in selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of net and comprehensive income.
The goodwill recorded as part of the acquisitions primarily arises from the acquired assembled workforce and
brokerage
and financing sales platforms. 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 SARs and deferred compensation liability become subject to payout as a result of a participant no longer being considered as a service provider. As a result of the retirement of certain participants, estimated amounts to be paid to the participants within the next twelve months have been classified as current.
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 10ten 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$177,000 and $220,000$226,000 for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively, and $678,000$355,000 and $669,000$452,000 for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020 and 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 ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, the Company made total payments of $1.8$2.1 million consisting of principal ($

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 ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, the Company made total payments to participants of $1.3 million$821,000 and $946,000,$786,000, 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.

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;

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
.
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 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 debt securities,
available-for-sale
were determined for each individual security in the investment portfolio and all these securities are Level 1 or 2 measurements as appropriate.
Fair values for assets held in the rabbi trust and r
e
latedrelated 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 flow model based on the probability of achieving EBITDA and other performance and service requirements, and is a Level 3 measurement. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company considered the economic impact of
COVID-19
on the probability of achieving EBITDA and other performance targets
,
and current and future interest rates in its determination of fair value for the contingent consideration. The Company is uncertain to the extent of the volatility in the unobservable inputs in the foreseeable future.
The Company values MSRs
Deferred consideration in connection with acquisitions is carried at fair value upon acquisitionand calculated using a discounted cash flow estimate with the only remaining condition on such payments being the passage of a servicing contract. MSRs do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices,time, and areis a Level 32 measurement.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
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.at least annually. 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
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 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. Management made revisions to the assumptions used in the determination of fair value for MSRs are carried atafter considering the lowereconomic impact of amortized cost or fair value.the
COVID-19
pandemic on default, severity, prepayment and discount rates related to the specific types and underlying collateral of the various serviced loans, interest rates, refinance rates, and current government and private sector responses to the pandemic. The fair value of the MSRs approximated the carrying value at SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018.2019 after consideration of the revisions to the various assumptions. See Note 7 – “Selected Balance Sheet Data – Other Assets – MSRs” for additional information.
As market conditions change, the Company will
re-evaluate
assumptions used in the determination of fair value for MSRs and is uncertain to the extent of the volatility in the unobservable inputs in the foreseeable future.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In 2013, the Company adopted the 2013 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). The ESPP
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
6-month
offering period.
The ESPP initially had 366,667 shares of common stock reserved,
,
and 214,872188,550 shares of common stock remain available for issuance at Septemberas of June 30, 2019.2020. 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 SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, total unrecognized compensation cost related to the ESPP was $20,000$92,000 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.12
0.38
years.

Acquisitions
We continue to increase our market 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,During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we completed two acquisitions that expanded our market presence in the financing marketservices in the MidwestSouthwest and in real estate brokerage services in the Southeast.
COVID-19
In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized
COVID-19
as a pandemic. Many states and cities, including where we conduct our business activities, have reacted by instituting quarantines, restrictions on travel, “shelter in place” rules, and restrictions on types of business that may continue to operate, which may limit the activity of our sales and financing professionals in engaging with our clients. We have implemented measures such as increased sanitizing, physical distancing and remote work arrangements, with the goal of protecting our employees, sales and financing professionals and clients. We continue to follow the local guidelines in cities where our offices are located and many of our offices have
re-opened
and are available to our employees and sales and financing professionals on an as needed basis.
We are closely monitoring the impact of
COVID-19
pandemic on all aspects of our business and in the regions we operate. Since the start of the pandemic, we have seen significant slowing of our real estate brokerage marketand financing transaction activity, difficulty in Canada.pricing assets and, in certain cases, restrictions on the ability of borrowers to access the capital markets and other sources of financing. Overall, the economic shut-down and “shelter in place” mandates during most of the second quarter of 2020 adversely impacted our business, with the number of transactions and total revenues declining 37.4% and 44.0% in the three months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared the same period in 2019. Further, we believe that the effect of the
COVID-19
restrictions, including the effects of preventative and precautionary health measures mandated to us by federal, state and local governments will likely continue to affect our ability to identify and close commercial real estate transactions, which could significantly impact our revenue during the second half of 2020.
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 extent of the negative 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 at least the third and fourth quarter of 2020 and until normal business conditions begin to resume. These uncertainties include the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken by state and local governments to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures and actions taken, 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 2018,response to this period of business disruption, we also added commercial mortgage servicinghave assessed our cost structure and instituted various expense reduction initiatives, including but not limited to, total compensation reductions for senior executives, management and key personnel, reductions in events and travel, suspension of company matching contributions in our 401(k) plan and furloughs and layoffs to preserve our balance sheet and financial position. These reductions were strategically decided upon to ensure proper allocation of capital and human resources to support our sales force’s ability to conduct business as well as develop strategic investments in tools, technology and infrastructure vital to our long-term competitiveness. We expect real estate sales and financing services.volumes to improve and eventually post solid growth after 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 are 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. Given our significant liquidity, we expect our company to be well positioned to benefit from and contribute to 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 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.
COVID-19
has dramatically impacted the global, U.S. and key local economies in which we operate. The movement of most 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 delivered moderate growth in 2020. The significant economic toll of the pandemic-driven shutdown was most acute in March and April, forcing the loss of more than 22 million jobs. Though the early reopening of several states in May brought a third quarter, but its overall momentumof those jobs back, the resurgence of the
COVID-19
spread has fluctuated.forced most states to walk back their reopening plans. The retail sales sector remains fragile and at risk given the rise in
COVID-19
cases. Numerous retail
sub-sectors
such as gyms, entertainment venues and restaurants are still largely shut down, and we believe that any recovery will likely be health dependent. Earlier actions by both the Federal Reserve cut interest rates two times inand Congress have temporarily sustained financial market liquidity by delivering resources to support local governments, 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 fearshealthcare sector, businesses of an impending recession. Steady job creation, exceptionally low unemployment and rising wages have all supported increased disposable income levels, personal savings ratessizes and the strengthgeneral public, but we believe that the Federal Government’s ability to sustain the economy is limited and economic growth will likely continue to be at risk until a medical solution emerges. With the magnitude and duration of household balance sheets, resultingthe pandemic still in strong consumption levels. This momentum has been partially offset by uncertainty surroundingquestion, the trade war with China, which has weighed on U.S. manufacturing, agricultureseverity and exports, restraininglength of the economic growth outlook. Rising geopolitical tensions, both internationallyimpact remains unclear. The broad range of unknowns, including health, economic and domestically,public policy have also elevatedincreased investor caution, leadinguncertainty. We believe these and other factors that raise uncertainty caused many investors to a modest reduction in investor activity.
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.
SupportedThe impact of
COVID-19
on both the hotel and retail sectors has been significant with many retailers withholding rental payments in locations with
shelter-in-place
orders. Office and apartment properties have experienced a more limited impact thus far, and industrial property performance has generally remained stable. To date, occupancy has remained elevated for most property types on a technical level, but rent collections remain an issue for operators. While retail properties have highly variable collections depending on their tenant mix, office and industrial property collections have largely been in the
mid-90 percent
range since the onset of the pandemic. Apartment collections vary significantly by state, but have been in the
low-90 percent
range on average since the onset of the pandemic, supported in part by the tight laborexpanded Federal unemployment benefits. Health issues and public policy, including any forthcoming stimulus, eviction moratorium rules and momentum toward reopening the economy may all impact property performance and investor sentiment. This could result in very fragmented market results as different states follow different protocols 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-steadytrajectories.
performance gains. Looking forward, tightened construction lending and rising development costs should temper the pace of new supply additions.

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, particularly commercial real estate lending, went through a period of turbulence in the second quarter as lenders grappled with uncertainty. Although the
10-year
treasury remained stable at very low levels through the second quarter of 2020, a number of real estate lenders increased their spreads, tightened underwriting and some withdrew funding offers in the midst of transactions. This contributed to a particularly challenging transactional climate, but in June, lenders began to tighten their spreads while making capital more readily available. Distress levels, as measured by commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), increased substantively with the volume of loans making payments 30+ days late rising from 2 percent in March to 10 percent in June. The majority of the late payments were in the hospitality and retail sectors. The Federal Reserve’s commitment to purchase short-term Treasuries has fueled lower interest rates, drivingReserve and Congress are working on adjustments that could give CMBS lenders more latitude in granting forbearance. Government agency multifamily lenders have been active but cautious. They increased their reserve requirements in 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, second quarter, but buyer motivation has been moderate.

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.
Lower interest ratesThe uncertainty surrounding the array of health, economic, policy and steady yields continue to attract investment tooperational variables has adversely impacted investor activity. Questions about all facets of the real estate through direct investmentsector outlook, as well as continued logistics hurdles impacting appraisals, site visits and the closing process have adversely impacted transaction activity. Investors continue to seek price discovery, and are trying to adapt to the new climate. It appears that many investors remain on the sidelines, while a multitudewide range of REITs, equity funds and syndication options.well-funded investors seem to be awaiting opportunistic acquisitions. However, substantive distressed sales activity may not emerge for a prolonged period. Despite the compelling yield optionssignificant toll the
COVID-19
pandemic has had on the U.S. economy, strong underwriting practices and strong fundamentals across moststurdy investor balance sheets appear to be helping mitigate some of the pressure felt by property types, buyers remain cautious amid certain economic hintsowners. In addition, a number of an impending recession, and inimpacted investors, including many cases, they are underwritinghotel owners, appear to a more conservative outlook. Sellers, however, have been slowable to reduce asking prices, and a transactional hurdle has emerged. The gap in pricing expectations remains a modest but steady headwind, extending asset marketing and closing timelines.
achieve various levels of lender forbearance to bridge the impact of the imposed economic downturn.
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 generally 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, impactingnatural disasters or pandemics such as the
COVID-19
pandemic, which may impact, among other things, 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.buyers. 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.


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 and finance, 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
 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
 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.
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.
33

Table of Contents
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 debt securities,
available-for-sale,
foreign currency gains and losses and other
non-operating
gains and losses.
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 $198.2$117.4 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 compared to $210.6$209.6 million for the same period in 2018,2019, a decrease of $12.4$92.2 million, or 5.9%44.0%. Total revenues decreased as a result of decreases in real estate brokerage commissions, financing fees and other revenues, partially offset by an increase in financing fees, as described below.
Real estate brokerage commissions.
Revenues from real estate brokerage commissions decreased to $180.2$103.4 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 from $192.0$188.7 million for the same period in 2018,2019, a decrease of $11.8$85.3 million, or 6.1%45.2%. The decrease was driven by a 41.3% reduction in sales volume and 13 basis points reduction in average commission rates primarily due to decreasesas a result of the
shelter-in-place
orders, economic uncertainty and other transactional impediments surrounding the
COVID-19
pandemic. Sales volume was primarily impacted by a 41.4% decrease in the number of investment sales transactions (3.1%) andtransactions. The average commission rates (18 basis 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 6% decline in sales volume in the broader market as reported by Real Capital Analytics.size remained comparable.
Financing fees.
Revenues from financing fees were $16.0decreased to $12.7 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019, which was comparable to $15.92020 from $17.7 million for the same period in 2018. There were increases2019, a decrease of $5.0 million, or 28.4%. The decrease was driven by a 38.3% reduction in financing volume, partially offset by an 8 basis points increase in average fee rates. Financing volume was primarily impacted by a 21.3% decrease 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%).

Total Operating Expensesoperating expenses
Our total operating expenses were $174.1$120.0 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 compared to $183.2$182.6 million for the same period in 2018,2019, a decrease of $9.1$62.6 million, or 4.9%34.3%. The decrease was primarily due to 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, and a decrease in selling, general and administrative costs, partially offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization expense, as described below.

Cost of services.
Cost of services decreased to $124.1$73.7 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 from $132.9$127.8 million for the same period in 2018,2019, a decrease of $8.7$54.1 million, or 6.6%42.3%.

Cost of services as a percent of total revenues decreasedincreased to 62.6%62.8% compared to 63.1%61.0% 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. 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 decreased to $48.1 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 decreased $9.3 million, or 17.6%, to $43.5 million from $48.7$52.8 million for the same period in 2018, a decrease of $0.6 million, or 1.2%.2019. Decreases in our selling, general and administrative expense have been driven by our various expense reduction initiatives. The decrease was primarily due to (i) a $2.8$7.5 million decrease in compensation related costs, includingprimarily driven by management performance compensation and salaries and related benefits, and management performancepartially offset by an increase in deferred compensation primarily driven by the reduction in management performance compensation;obligation; (ii) a $1.0 million decrease in stock-based compensation;sales operations support, events and promotional marketing expenses; (iii) a $0.5$0.6 million decrease in net other expense categories, including increases in acquisition related costs, offset by decreases in travel and other related expenses and (iv) a $0.4 million decrease in legal costs. These decreases were partially offset by increases driven by our growth plans and investments in technology, sales and marketing tools and marketing and expansion of our services supporting our investment sales and financing professionals, which include (i) a $1.8 million increase in sales operation support and promotional marketing expenses; (ii) a $1.2$0.2 million increase in facilities expenses due to expansion of existing offices; and (iii) a $0.7 million increase in net other expense categories, primarily driven by an increase in certain licensing fees.expenses.

Revenues
Our total revenues were $568.5$308.1 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 compared to $584.5$370.3 million for the same period in 2018,2019, a decrease of $16.0$62.2 million, or 2.7%16.8%.

Sales volume was impacted by a 16.9% decrease in the number of investment sales transactions, (3.0%) relative to a 5% investment sales transaction decline in the broader market as reported by Real Capital Analytics and average commission per transaction (1.2%). These factors combined generated decreases in sales volume (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 ana 2.2% increase in the average transaction size (2.1%).size.
Financing fees.
Revenues from financing fees increaseddecreased to $47.5$28.1 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 from $41.2$31.5 million for the same period in 2018, an increase2019, a decrease of $6.3$3.4 million, or 15.2% in part spurred by growth from acquisitions during 2018.10.9%.

Increases2019. Decreases in our selling, general and administrative expense have been driven by our growth plans and investmentsvarious expense reduction initiatives. The decrease was primarily due to a $8.5 million decrease in technology, sales and marketing tools and marketing and expansion of our services supporting our investment sales and financing professionals. These initiatives havecompensation related costs, primarily driven by decreases in management performance compensation and deferred compensation obligation. This decrease was partially offset by (i) a $4.8$3.1 million increase in sales operations support, events and promotional marketing expenses; (ii) a $2.6$1.1 million increase in facilities expenses; (iii) a $0.7 million increase in legal costs; and (iv) a $0.2 million increase in net other expense categories, primarily driven by an increaseincluding increases in acquisition related costs, certain licensing fees;fees and (iii) a $2.4 million increase in facilities expenses due to expansion of existing offices.

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
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 to 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):

The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 compared to the same periods in 20182019 is primarily due to lowera decrease in 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 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 $6.1$51.8 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 compared to cash flows provided by operating activities of $55.0$24.4 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 $61.1$27.5 million increased usage in operating cash flows for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 compared to the same period in 20182019 was primarily due to a decrease in our real estate brokerage revenuelower total revenues 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 an increase in bonus payments in 2019 related to the 2018 bonuses and a reduction in the discretionary deferral of certain discretionary commissions.
Investing Activities
Cash flows used in investing activities were $16.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to cash flows provided by investing activities were $21.1of $19.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared tosame period in 2019. The $36.1 million increase in cash flows used in investing activities of $92.3 million for the same period in 2018. The $113.4 million decreased usage in investing cash flows for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 compared to the same period in 20182019 was primarily due to a $27.9$24.0 million reduction in net proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable debt securities
available-for-sale
for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to a $80.6 million in net purchases of marketable securities,
available-for-sale
for the same period in 2018 and a net $7.0$11.8 million of outflow for acquisitions during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182020 with no such comparable outflow for the same period in 2019.
Financing Activities
Cash flows used in financing activities were $3.6$9.3 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 compared to $2.5$3.2 million for the same period in 2018.2019. The change in cash flows used in financing activities for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 compared to the same period in 20182019 was primarily impacted by principal payments on notes payable to former stockholders and payments related to stock appreciation rights liability, partially offset by lower 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 debt securities,
available-for-sale
and borrowings available under the Credit Agreement (defined below) will be sufficient to satisfy our operating requirements for at least the foreseeable future. Ifnext 12 months. As of June 30, 2020, cash on hand and core-cash investments aggregated $322.1 million, and we needhad $60.0 million of borrowing capacity under our credit agreement. In response to raise additional capital through public or private debt or equity financings, strategic relationships or other arrangements, this capital might not be available to usperiod of business disruption, we have assessed our cost structure and instituted various expense reduction initiatives as discussed 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.“Overview –

Credit Agreement
We have a Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association for a $60.0 million principal amount senior secured revolving credit facility that is guaranteed by all of our domestic subsidiaries and matures on June 1, 2022 (the “Credit Agreement”). See Note 15 – “Commitments and Contingencies” of our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the Credit Agreement.

business remain unknown at this time.
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 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,
non-current,
and operating lease liabilities, current and
non-current,
captionsother income (expense), 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.
Operating lease ROUWe 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.
42

Determining 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 of which impact 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.
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.

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 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 backedasset-backed securities and other. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, the fair value of investments in marketable debt securities,
available-for-sale
was $195.3$212.5 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 SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020. 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 six months ended June 30, 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 SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 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
AsOur 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 September 30, 2019,(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.
Our 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
10-Q,
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 SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, 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
There were nohave not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules
13a-15(f)
and
15d-15(f)
under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
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. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes from the risk factors described in our Annual Report on
Form
10-K for
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 intended to slow the community spread of
COVID-19
have, and the possible resumption of any state or local
shelter-in-place
orders may, 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. In addition, the current
COVID-19
pandemic, the reoccurrence of the
COVID-19
pandemic or a future pandemic, could materially affect our future sales, operating results, liquidity and overall financial performance due to, among other factors:
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.
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 due to various risks and uncertainties. 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. If we are not able to respond to and manage the impact of such events effectively, our business will be harmed.
The long-term potential economic impact of a pandemic may be difficult to assess or predict. The
COVID-19
pandemic has resulted in significant disruption of global financial markets, and on June 8, 2020, the National Bureau of Economic Research announced that the United States was in a recession. A long-term recession or long-term market correction could have a long-term 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.
While we did not incur significant disruptions during the three months ended March 31, 2020 from
the COVID-19 pandemic,
our business was materially adversely impacted during the three months ended June 30, 2020. To date, we have seen a significant increase in closing timelines, a dramatic slowing of our real estate brokerage and financing transaction activity, difficulty in pricing assets 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 preventative and precautionary health measures mandated to us by federal, state and local governments will likely continue to affect our ability to identify and close commercial real estate transactions.
