Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Description of Business
Marcus & Millichap, Inc. (the “Company”,
“Company,” “Marcus & Millichap”,Millichap,” or “MMI”), a Delaware corporation, is a brokerage firm specializing in commercial real estate investment sales, financing, research and advisory services. As of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, MMI operates 8481 offices in the United States and Canada through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including the operations of Marcus & Millichap Capital Corporation.
Reorganization and Initial Public Offering
MMI was formed in June 2013 in preparation for Marcus & Millichap Company (“MMC”) to
spin-off
its majority-owned subsidiary, Marcus & Millichap Real Estate Investment Services, Inc. (“MMREIS”). Prior to the initial public offering (“IPO”) of MMI, all of the preferred and common stockholders of MMREIS (including MMC and employees of MMREIS) contributed all of their outstanding shares to MMI, in exchange for new MMI common stock. As a result, MMREIS became a wholly-owned subsidiary of MMI. Thereafter, MMC distributed 80.0% of the shares of MMI common stock to MMC’s shareholders and exchanged the remaining portion of its shares of MMI common stock for cancellation of indebtedness of MMC. MMI completed its IPO in November 2013.

COVID-19
pandemic. Actualpandemic and actual results may differ from the Company’s current estimates dueand historical trends because of that uncertainty. Notwithstanding the potential continuing impact of the

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosures at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk principally consist of cash and cash equivalents, investments in marketable debt securities,
available-for-sale,
security deposits (included under other assets,
non-current)
and commissions 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 and ratings of marketable debt securities,
available-for-sale
are limited by the approved investment policy.

MARCUS & MILLICHAP, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
To reduce its credit risk, the Company monitors the credit standing of the financial institutions 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.
In September 2021, the Company entered into a Strategic Alliance (“Strategic Alliance”) with M&T Reality Capital Corporation (“MTRCC”) pursuant to which the Company has agreed to provide loan opportunities that may be funded through MTRCC’s Delegated Underwriting and Servicing Agreement (“DUS Agreement”) with the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and which requires MTRCC to guarantee a portion of each loan funded. On a
loan-by-loan
basis, the Company, at its option, can indemnify a portion of MTRCC’s guarantee obligation of loan opportunities presented to and closed by MTRCC though the DUS Agreement. The Company manages and limits the concentration of risk related to the guarantees assumed by monitoring the underlying property type, geographic location, credit of the borrowers, underlying debt service coverage, and loan to value ratios.
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 three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, 0 transaction0transaction 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, 2021 and 2020,March 31, 2022, the Company’s Canadian operations represented approximately2.3% of total revenues. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company’s Canadian operations represented less than 2% of total revenues.
During each of the three and
 six months ended June 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, 0 office represented 10% or more of total revenues.
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates real estate brokerage commissions by acting as a broker for real estate owners or investors seeking to buy or sell commercial properties and generates financing fees from securing financing on purchase transactions, from refinancing its clients’ existing mortgage debt and other ancillary fees associated with financing activities, including, but not limited to, mortgage servicing, debt and equity advisory services, loan sales, due diligence services, guarantee fees, loan performance fees and other consulting. The Company’s contracts, except as noted below, do not contain multiple-element arrangements, variable consideration, financing components, significant noncash consideration, licenses, long-term contracts with customers or other items affecting the transaction price.
Real Estate Brokerage Commissions
Contracts for representing buyers and sellers of real estate are usually negotiated on a
transaction-by-transaction
basis. The consideration associated with the successful outcome remains constrained until the completion of a transaction which, in almost all cases, is at the close of escrow. At that time, the Company recognizes revenue related to the transaction. The Company’s fee agreements do not include terms or conditions that require the Company to perform any service or fulfill any obligation once the transaction closes.
Financing Fees
Contracts for representing potential borrowers are usually negotiated on a
transaction-by-transaction
basis. The consideration associated with the successful outcome remains constrained until the completion of a transaction which, in almost all cases, is at the time the loan closes. At that time, the Company recognizes revenue related to the transaction. The Company’s fee arrangements, with certain exceptions, do not include terms or conditions that require the Company to perform any service or fulfill any obligation once the loan closes.
Loan Performance Fees
- For loans originated through the Strategic Alliance with MTRCC, the Company receives variable consideration in the form of loan performance fees based on a portion of the servicing fees expected to be received under the servicing contract for servicing the loan. As the Company is not obligated to perform any servicing functions and has no further obligations related to the transaction giving rise to the loan performance fees, the estimated value of the loan performance fees to be received is recorded at the time the loan closes and are collected over the estimated term of the related loan. Any changes in the estimate of loan performance fees to be received are recorded in revenue in the period the estimate changes.

MARCUS & MILLICHAP, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Guarantee Obligations
- For certain loans originated through the Strategic Alliance with MTRCC, the Company may agree, at its option, to indemnify MTRCC for a portion of MTRCC’s obligations for loans sold to Fannie Mae. For these loans, the Company allocates a portion of the transaction price and records a loan guarantee obligation based on its fair value. Revenue for this stand ready obligation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the estimated guarantee period and is recorded in financing fees in the condensed consolidated statements of net and comprehensive income. The guarantee obligation is capped at 16.7% of the unpaid principal balance in excess of the collateral securing such loan. For these loans, the Company also records an allowance for loss-sharing obligations based on the unpaid balance of the loan for its portion of the obligation guaranteed to MTRCC.
Mortgage Servicing
- The Company recognizes mortgage servicing revenues upon the acquisition of a servicing contract. The Company records servicing fees when earned provided the loans are current and the debt service payments are made by the borrowers.
Other Revenues
Other revenues include fees generated from consulting and advisory services, as well as referral fees from other real estate brokers, and are recognized when services are provided, or upon closing of the transaction.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Pending Adoption
In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
No. 2020-04,
Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting
(“ASU
2020-04”).
ASU
2020-04
provides temporary optional exceptions to the guidance in U.S. GAAP on contract modifications to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). ASU
2020-04
is effective for all entities upon issuance and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications through December 31, 2022. The guidance applies to the Company’s Credit Agreement (see Note 13 – “Commitments and Contingencies”), which references LIBOR, and will generally allow it to account for and present a modification as an event that does 0t require contract remeasurement at the modification date or reassessment of a previous accounting determination. As of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the Company has not drawn funds from the credit facility. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of this new standard but does not expect ASU
2020-04
to have a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recorded in other income, (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of net and comprehensive income. The cost basis of securities sold were determined based on the specific identification method.
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 June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the portfolio had an average credit rating of AA and a weighted term to contractual maturity of 1.81.4 years, with 28161 securities in the portfolio withrepresenting an unrealized aggregate loss aggregating $45,000,
 of
$2.7 million or 0.1%1% of amortized cost, and a weighted average credit rating of AA+.
As of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the Company performed an impairment analysis and determined an allowance for credit losses was 0tnot required.
The Company determined that it did not have an intent to sell and it was not more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell any security based on its current liquidity position, or to maintain compliance with its investment policy, specifically as it relates to minimum credit ratings. The Company evaluated the securities with an unrealized loss considering severity of loss, credit ratings, specific credit events during the period since acquisition, overall likelihood of default, market sector, potential impact from the current economic environment, geopolitical unrest and a review of an issuer’s and securities’ liquidity and financial strength, as needed. The Company concluded that it would receive all scheduled interest and principal payments. The Company, therefore, determined qualitatively that the unrealized loss was related to changes in interest rates and other market factors and therefore no0 allowance for credit losses was required.

The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment annually in the fourth quarter. In addition to the annual impairment evaluation, the Company evaluates at least quarterly whether events or circumstances have occurred in the period subsequent to the annual impairment testing, which indicate that it is more likely than not an impairment loss has occurred. The Company evaluates its intangible assets that have finite useful lives whenever an event or change in circumstances indicates that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable.

The SARs and deferred compensation liability become subject to payout as a result of a participant no longer being considered 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 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, 2022 and 2021 were 3.63% and 2020 were 2.930% and 3.920%2.93%, respectively. MMI recorded interest expense related to this liability of $122,000$135,000 and $177,000$122,000 for the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, respectively, and $244,000 and $355,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Estimated payouts within the next twelve months for participants that have separated from service have been classified as current. During each of the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, the Company made total payments of $2.2 million, and $2.1 million, consisting of principal and accumulated interest, respectively.

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, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, the Company made total payments to participants of $815,000$365,000 and $821,000,$371,000, respectively.

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 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:
Unobservable 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 NAV money market funds recorded in cash and cash equivalents, investments in marketable debt securities,
available-for-sale,
assets held in the rabbi trust, deferred compensation liability and contingent and deferred 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 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.
Contingent consideration in connection with acquisitions, is carried at fair value and determined on a
contract-by-contract
basis, calculated using unobservable inputs based on a probability of achieving EBITDA and other performance requirements, and is a Level 3 measurement. Deferred consideration in connection with acquisitions is carried at fair value and calculated using a discounted cash flow estimate with the only remaining condition on such payments being the passage of time, and is a Level 2 measurement.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
During the sixthree months ended June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the Company considered current and future interest rates and the economic impact from the
COVID-19
pandemic, including new variants and vaccination rates on the probability of achieving EBITDA and other performance targets in its determination of fair value for the contingent consideration. The Company is uncertain as to the extent of the volatility in the unobservable inputs in the foreseeable future. Deferred consideration in connection with acquisitions is carried at fair value and calculated using a discounted cash flow estimate with the only remaining condition on such payments being the passage of time.
As of June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, contingent and deferred consideration ha
d
had a maximum undiscounted payment to be settled in cash or stock of $31.0$27.2 million and $33.2$28.6 million, respectively. Assuming the achievement of the applicable performance criteria and/or service and time requirements, the Company anticipates these payments will be made over the next one to seven-yearfive-year period. Changes in fair value are included in selling, general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of net and comprehensive income.

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 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.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MSRs are recorded at fair value upon 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 estimated fair value of the Company’s MSRs were developed using a discounted cash flow model that calculates 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 to reflect observable market conditions and assumptions that a market participant would consider in valuing an MSR asset. Management uses assumptions in the determination of fair value for MSRs after considering 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 on the economic impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic. MSRs are carried atIn the lowerthree months ended March 31, 2022, the Company received cancellation notices on certain servicing contracts.

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.

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

COVID-19
We are closely monitoring the continuing impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic on all aspects of our business and in the regions we operate. We continue to follow the local guidelines in cities where our offices are located, and all of our offices have
re-opened
and are available to our employees and sales and financing professionals.
Our business was impacted by the
COVID-19
pandemic during most of 2020, with the total number of transactions and total revenues declining 7.9% and 11.1%, respectively, in the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, total revenues and total number of transactions increased 52.2% and 46.4%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2020 and 26.6% and 25.2%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2019. While our total revenues were significantly above prior years’ levels, some uncertainty exists in our ability to sustain the growth rates experienced during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, for the second half of 2021.
We continue to monitor the economic trends and related demand for our services and will adjust our operations accordingly. Our priority continues to be 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 controls. We continue to extend the use of technology and resource sharing measures adopted over the past year as ways to achieve more efficiency on a long-term basis. Given our significant liquidity, we expect our company to be well positioned to benefit from and contribute to the economic recovery and the related increase in the volume of real estate transactions as the pandemic subsides, including making accretive and synergistic acquisitions, which will help expand service offerings and market coverage.
Due to a continuing uncertainty around the
COVID-19
pandemic, we are unable to predict its potential impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. These uncertainties include the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic; variants in the virus, vaccination rates and the effects thereof; expectation gaps among buyers and sellers on pricing and property operation, vulnerability to further economic weakness and/or slow recovery; the direct and indirect economic effects of the actions taken by state and local governments to continue to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact; and the impact of these and other factors on our employees, independent contractors, clients and potential clients.
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, inflation, and job creation, can affect investor sentiment and, ultimately, the demand for our services from investors in real estate.

The infusion of over $5 trillion of stimulus fundsmore than 6.7 million jobs, but in conjunction with other forces, the reopeningrapid gains pushed inflation to 8.5% year-over-year through March 2022 — the highest level in 40 years. Supply chain disruptions, surging housing costs, significant wage pressure and a variety of other factors were exacerbated by the energy cost surge sparked by the war in Ukraine. The conflict will remain a significant variable going forward, generating both energy and food inflation, as well as increased uncertainty. The Federal Reserve had already begun to address inflation in late 2021 by phasing out quantitative easing, then they followed that with interest rate increases beginning in March 2022. In total, the Federal Reserve is expected to raise their overnight rate by 175 to 250 basis points in 2022, pushing up the cost of debt for investors. Economic momentum remained strong in the first quarter with job additions totaling 1.7 million, unemployment declining to 3.6% and core retail sales continuing to rise to a record $468 billion in the month of March. In addition, reductions of

We believe the prospect of a strong recovery could continueconsumption gains as people return to fuel space demandrestaurants, shopping and entertainment venues. This should bode well for all types of commercial real estate although the emergence of theas reduced
COVID-19
variants could potentially slow the recovery of some real estate sectors in select parts of the country. The addition of nearly 3.3 million jobs so far this year, largely in the
hard-hit
service sectors, reflects strengthening economic growth as consumersrestrictions facilitate at least a partial return to retail stores, restaurants, entertainment venuesthe office and hotels. The rapid consumption gains have outpaced manufacturingincreased hotel demand from business travelers and supply chain capacity, delivering elevated inflationary pressure. Although heightened inflation risk merits investor attention, particularly in relation to Federal Reserve policy and interest rates, we believe that commercial real estate tends to be a comparatively strong inflation hedge relative to many other investment classes. This combination, along with elevated liquidity, supported particularly strong investor activity in the second quarter of 2021. Potential headwinds could still emerge in the second half of 2021, however, as the U.S. Congress considers tax policy revisions that could affect commercial real estate investments.rising consumption.
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.
During the second quarter of 2021, economic reopening bolstered spaceSpace demand for allvirtually every commercial property type gained momentum over the last year through the first quarter 2022. Industrial and multifamily space absorption reached record levels, retail has now sustained positive momentum for six quarters and office properties have sustained positive demand for four consecutive quarters. Limited-service hotel demand has nearly fully recovered to
pre-pandemic
levels, and the end of
COVID-19
restrictions bodes well for the return of business travel, supporting the full-service hotel segment. This positive demand momentum, in conjunction with curtailed real estate development due to shortages of construction labor and building materials, has contributed to falling vacancy rates for most property types. Apartment, self-storageSuburban areas nationwide and industrial properties delivered particularly strong results as they built onSun Belt markets in general have outperformed over the momentum they sustained throughlast year, but the reduction of
COVID-19
pandemic. Retail, hotel and seniors housing properties delivered more modest gains, beginning their recovery from the severe impact of the pandemic. Office space demand remains comparatively weak, but it has finally moved back into positive territory following four quarters of negative space demand. A key consideration for office space will be the extent to which companies bring their employees back to the office. It appears that some headway has been made as a modest recovery of housing demand in major urban metros like New York and the Bay Area manifested in the second quarter of 2021. Whether employees fully return to the office, adopt some form of hybrid work week or continue to work from homerestrictions could significantly impact futureboost commercial real estate space demand. Through the pandemic, housing and space demand followed the population migration to suburbanin urban areas and to smaller cities, drawing increasedin metros that had more restrictive

policies. Positive absorption, vacancy rate and rent growth metrics have helped support aggressive investor capital to these areas. If workers return to offices inunderwriting, and we believe the urban core of major metros, the trend could at least partially revert to
pre-pandemic
trends. Regardless, onsupply and demand outlook, barring a macro-level space demand drivers appear to be reviving, and this is supporting increased investor activity.significant geopolitical, financial market or economic setback, remains positive.
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 increasesincreasing or decreases,decreasing, 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 generally influence the demand of investors for commercial real estate investments.
Capital liquidity remains strong with

COVID-19
pandemic, lenders are becoming increasingly active in these segments. On a macro level, banks and government agencies have been the most active lenders, butcapital remain very liquid, supporting record commercial mortgage-backed securities and life insurance company lenders have become increasingly active, further increasing the availability of debt capital. Interest rates were particularly favorable through the second quarter of 2021, with the

The lowfirst quarter; however, we believe that if interest rates increase significantly in a short period of time, they could begin to restrain transaction activity as the higher cost of capital widens the expectation gap between buyers and sellers. Lenders have remained aggressive in both the placement and pricing of capital, but some caution has been promoting investorbegun to enter the marketplace as the

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, who make up the largest source of revenue, are often motivated to buy, sell and/or refinance properties due to personal circumstances, such as death, divorce, partnership breakups and estate planning.

DuringCommercial real estate sales dollar volume set a record high in 2021, and the secondmomentum has carried into 2022, delivering the strongest first quarter on record.

Positive market and economic factors including risinggrowth trends. Elevated inflation could form a tailwind for commercial real estate space demand, strong liquidity, low interest rates, expectations of a robust economic recovery and positive demographics aligned to spur investor optimism. The demand for highly sought-after property types and markets was robust as buyers competed to place capital, but the transaction flow has been inhibited by a limited volume of
for-sale
properties and by the price discovery process which is still ongoing. Recovery property segments like hotels, seniors housing, office and some retail properties often face a wide buyer/seller expectation gap, as do properties in major urban areas that were particularly

COVID-19

segments, but well-financed owners have generally been able to weather the worst of the downturn and the majority are expected to hold through the nascent recovery until pricing fully revives. Wemany believe the investment climate remains positive, but could be inhibitedsector offers increased inflation resistance. This may at least partially offset the headwind posed by a significant
COVID-19
resurgence or variants, Federal Reserve actions or commentary that pushesrising interest rates higher or by the release of potential tax policy changes by Congress. Prospective increases in personal, corporate, capital gains and estate taxes have the potential to dampen consumption and business investment while simultaneously rendering existing investment and estate plans obsolete. Tax policy changes could spark a short-term wave of transactions or they could slow transaction activity depending on exactly how the changes are framed and the time frame in which they are enacted. In addition, questions remain about the future of 1031 tax deferred exchanges, but this tax code section has survived many attempts at elimination largely because studies have demonstrated that cancelling this tax code section would likely cause considerable economic and tax revenue losses. Nonetheless, based on the foregoing, we believe the emerging medical solutions to the health crisis and the nascent release of
pent-up
demand among consumers and real estate investors should ultimately outweigh tax policy headwinds.
Seasonality
Our real estate brokerage commissions and financing fees have tended to be seasonal and, combined with other factors, can affect an investor’s ability to compare our financial condition and results of operations on a
quarter-by-quarter
basis. Historically, this seasonality has generally caused our revenue, operating income, net income and cash flows from operating activities to be lower in the first half of the year and higher in the second half of the year, particularly in the fourth quarter. The concentration of earnings and cash flows in the last six months of the year, particularly in the fourth quarter, is due to an industry-wide focus of clients to complete transactions towards the end of the calendar year. This historical trend can be disrupted both positively and negatively by major economic events, political events, natural 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. Private client investors may accelerate or delay transactions due to personal or business-related reasons unrelated to economic events. In addition, our operating margins are typically lower during the second half of each year due to our commission structure for some of our senior investment sales and financing professionals. These senior investment sales and financing professionals are on a graduated commission schedule that resets annually, pursuant to which higher commissions are paid for higher sales volumes. Our historical pattern of seasonality may or may not continue to the same degree experienced in prior years.
Operating Segments
We follow the guidance for segment reporting, which requires reporting information on operating segments in interim and annual financial statements. Substantially all of our operations involve the delivery of commercial real estate services to our customers including real estate investment sales, financing and consulting and advisory services. Management makes operating decisions, assesses performance and allocates resources based on an ongoing review of these integrated operations, which constitute only one operating segment for financial reporting purposes.

Key Financial Measures and Indicators
Revenues
Our revenues are primarily generated from our real estate investment sales business. In addition to real estate brokerage commissions, we generate revenues from financing fees and from other revenues, which are primarily comprised of consulting and advisory fees.
28

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
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 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.
27

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 fees on mortgage servicing, revenue, mortgage servicing fees,loan performance, equity advisory services, loan sales, loan guarantees and ancillary feesservices 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. We recognize mortgage servicing revenues upon the acquisition of a servicing obligation. We recognize guarantee fees over the term of the guarantee and other fees when we have no further obligations, generally upon the closing of a transaction.
Other Revenues
Other revenues include fees generated from consulting, advisory and other 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 can also have the ability to earn additional commissions after meeting certain annual financial 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 one or three years, at our election, and paid at the beginning of the second or 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.
29

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 and deferred 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 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 seven 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
income and expenses.
28

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, (through the second quarter of 2020 when fully repaid) 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 the impact of permanent items, including compensation charges, qualified transportation fringe benefits, uncertain tax positions, meals and entertainment and
tax-exempt
deferred compensation plan assets. Our provision for income taxes includes the windfall tax benefits and shortfall expenses, 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.

Key Operating Metrics
We regularly review a number of key metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions. We also believe these metrics are relevant to investors’ and others’ assessment of our financial condition and results of operations. During the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, we closed more than 3,2002,900 and 1,5002,300 investment sales, financing and other transactions, respectively, with total sales volume of approximately $17.4$21 billion and $6.9 billion, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we closed more than 5,600 and 3,800 investment sales, financing and other transactions, respectively, with total sales volume of approximately $29.4 billion and $18.7$12 billion, respectively.

Revenues
Our total revenues were $284.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $117.4 million for the same period in 2020, an increase of $167.5 million, or 142.7%. Total revenues increased primarily as a result of increases in real estate brokerage commissions, financing fees and other revenues due to the recovery from the slowdown impacted by the pandemic in 2020, as described below.
Real estate brokerage commissions.
Revenues from real estate brokerage commissions increased to $252.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $103.4 million for the same period in 2020, an increase of $149.5 million, or 144.7%. The increase was primarily driven by a 150.0% increase in overall sales volume generated by a 116.7% increase in the number of investment sales transactions and a 15.4% increase in average transaction size, partially offset by a 4 basis points reduction in average commission rates due to a larger proportion of transactions closed from the Larger Transaction Market segment.
Financing fees.
Revenues from financing fees increased to $28.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $12.7 million for the same period in 2020, an increase of $15.5 million, or 122.1%, in part spurred by growth from our recent acquisitions and other ancillary financing fees.
Additionally,
the increase was driven by a 151.3% increase in financing volume. Financing volume was impacted by a 79.5% increase in the number of financing transactions and a 40.0% increase in average transaction size. The increase was partially offset by an 18 basis points decrease in average commission rates.
Other revenues.
Other revenues increased to $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $1.3 million for the same period in 2020, an increase of $2.5 million, or 188.8%. The increase was primarily driven by increases in consulting and advisory services during the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020.
Total Operating Expenses
Our total operating expenses were $243.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $120.0 million for the same period in 2020, an increase of $123.3 million, or 102.8%. The increase was primarily due to increases in cost of services, which are variable commissions paid to our investment sales professionals and compensation-related costs in connection with our financing activities, selling, general and administrative costs and depreciation and amortization expense, as described below.

Table of Contents
Cost of services.
Cost of services increased to $178.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $73.7 million for the same period in 2020, an increase of $104.8 million, or 142.2%. The increase was primarily due to increased commission expenses driven by the related increased revenues noted above. Cost of services as a percent of total revenues decreased to 62.7% compared to 62.8% for the same period in 2020 primarily due to a higher proportion of transactions closed by our more senior investment sales and financing professionals at the start of the pandemic during the three months ended June 30, 2020.
Selling, general and administrative expense.
Selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased $18.3 million, or 42.0%, to $61.8 million from $43.5 million for the same period in 2020. The increase was primarily due to increases in (i) compensation related costs, primarily driven by increases in management performance compensation due to a significant increase in operating results; (ii) the value of contingent consideration in connection with our acquisition activities; (iii) business development, marketing and other support related to the long-term retention of our sales and financing professionals; (iv) facilities expenses; and (v) net other expense categories, including stock-based compensation expense. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in legal costs.
Depreciation and amortization expense.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $2.8 million for the same period in 2020, an increase of $0.2 million, or 7.5%.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income (expense), net decreased to $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $3.0 million for the same period in 2020. The decrease was primarily driven by (i) a reduction in interest income on our investments in marketable debt securities,
available-for-sale
due to an overall decrease in interest rates; (ii) an unfavorable change in the value of our deferred compensation plan assets that are held in a rabbi trust; and (iii) a reduction in net other categories including a foreign currency loss related to our Canadian operations.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased to $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $0.2 million for the same period in 2020. The decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to a decrease in interest expense on SARs liability and no interest expense related to notes payable to former stockholders, which were fully repaid during the second quarter of 2020.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes was $11.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $42,000 in the same period in 2020, an increase of $11.3 million. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was 26.4% compared to 28.4% for the same period in 2020. The effective income tax rate decreased primarily due to the change in the relationship of permanent nondeductible items to income before provision for income taxes and a decrease in Canadian losses, which are subject to a full valuation allowance.

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, 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, 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 toola supplemental metric 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 toolmanagement metric 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 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 gating 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.

The $85.3$(47.4) million improvementdecrease in operating cash flows for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 20202021 was primarily due to higher total revenues and a lower proportion of operating expenses compared to total revenues, differences in timing of certain payments and receipts, a reductionan increase in advances to our investment sales and financing professionals, higher amount of deferred discretionary commissions paid, and lowerhigher bonus payments, paid during the first quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 due to the significant decline in operating results for the year ended December 31, 2020.

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 next 12 months. If we need to raise additional capital through public or private debt or equity financings, strategic relationships or other arrangements, this capital might not be available to us in a timely manner, on acceptable terms, or at all. Our failure to raise sufficient capital when needed could prevent us from funding acquisitions or otherwise financing our growth or operations. In addition, our SARs agreements have provisions, which could accelerate repayment of outstanding principal and accrued interest and impact our liquidity. As of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, cash and cash equivalents and marketable debt securities,
available-for-sale,
aggregated $475.1$587.7 million, and we had $59.5 million of borrowing capacity under our credit agreement.

The Company, in connection with the Strategic Alliance with MTRCC , has agreed to provide loan opportunities that may be funded through MTRCC’s agreement with Fannie Mae requires MTRCC to guarantee a portion of each funded loan. On
a loan-by-loan basis,
the Company, at its option, can assume a portion of MTRCC’s guarantee obligation of loan opportunities presented to and Commitmentsclosed by MTRCC. As of March 31, 2022, the Company has agreed to a maximum aggregate guarantee obligation of $4.0 million relating to loans with an unpaid balance of $24.0 million. The maximum guarantee obligation is not representative of the actual loss we would incur. The Company would be liable for this amount only if all of the loans for which it is providing a guarantee to MTRCC were to default and all of the collateral underlying these loans was determined to be without value at the time of settlement.
Material Cash Requirements
There have been no material changes in our commitments under contractual obligations, as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 20202021 through the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any

Inflation
Our revenuescommissions and other variable costs related to revenue are primarily affected by real estate market supply and demand, which may be affected by uncertain or changing economic and market conditions, including inflation/deflation arising in connection with and in response to various macroeconomic factors, including the effects of the
COVID-19
pandemic.pandemic on the broader economy.
The Federal Reserve has signaled its plans to combat inflation through monetary policy including the wind-down of quantitative easing and by raising the Federal Funds Rate. While commercial real estate investment is relatively inflation resistant, the upward pressure on interest rates has the potential to affect investor activity and therefore transactional activity from which we generate revenues. The investor activity will depend on the magnitude of changes in interest rates relative to the elevated level of capital liquidity targeting commercial real estate. The actual economic impact from inflation/deflationinflation to our business remains 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 significant changes in our critical accounting policies, as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For information regarding recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 1 – “Description of Business, Basis of Presentation 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. Treasuries, U.S. government sponsored entities, corporate debt, asset-backed securities and other. As of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the fair value of investments in marketable debt securities,
available-for-sale
was $244.7$272 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 AAAA+ as of June 30, 2021.March 31, 2022. 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 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. The following table sets forth the impact on the fair value of our investments as of June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 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.
Our management, with the supervision and participation of our chief executive officer (“CEO”) and chief financial officer (“CFO”), has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules
13a-
15(e) and
15d-
15(e) under the Exchange 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 (2013 framework). Based on such evaluation, our management has concluded that as of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have 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 June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We have not experienced any significant impact to our internal controls over financial reporting despite the fact that a significant number of our employees and independent contractors are still working remotely due to
the COVID-19 pandemic.
The design of our processes and controls allow for remote execution with accessibility to secure data. We are continually monitoring and assessing
the COVID-19 situation
to minimize the impact, if any, on the design and operating effectiveness on our internal controls.

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 an 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.

On August 3, 2021, the Company adopted a Change in Control Policy and a Death & Disability Policy for certain specified senior executives (each a “participant”) and members of the Board of Directors.
The Change in Control Policy (“CIC Policy”) for participants is a “double-trigger” plan. The plan provides for severance benefits if within 12 months following the “Change of Control”, the participant’s employment with the Company is terminated involuntarily by the Company without “Cause”, or voluntarily by the participant for “Good Reason”, as such terms are defined in the CIC Policy. Upon one of these triggering events, a participant would be entitled to receive the following:
a lump sum of one full year of annual base salary as of the date of termination;
a lump sum equal to the full amount of the target bonus for the full year in which the termination occurred or the previous year, whichever is less, to be calculated as if 100% of all corporate and personal performance objectives were achieved;
a full acceleration of all outstanding and unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) at the time of termination;
reimbursement for the full amount of the employer and participant share of the premiums for continued coverage of the participant and participant’s spouse and dependents under the Company’s Welfare Benefits, pursuant to COBRA as applicable, for a period of one year after the date of termination or until and to the extent the employee is covered by comparable Welfare Benefits, whichever occurs first, and in the event such continued coverage is not allowed by law or the Company’s Welfare Benefits plans, the participant shall be entitled to the cash equivalent of the premiums for such benefits; and
up to Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) toward appropriate executive-level outplacement or job search assistance during a period not to extend beyond December 31 of the second calendar year following the termination of employment.
40

The CIC Policy for members of the Board of Directors is a “single-trigger” plan, where upon a Change in Control, members of the Board of Directors would be entitled to receive the following:
full acceleration of all outstanding and unvested restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) .
The Death & Disability Policy provides that upon a termination of employment because of death, if the participant has been with the Company for at least one year, the Company will grant full acceleration of all outstanding and unvested RSUs at the time of termination.
Upon a termination of employment because of “Disability” (as defined in the Death & Disability Policy), if the participant has been with the Company for at least one year, the Company will grant full acceleration of all outstanding and unvested RSUs at the time of termination, and reimburse the participant for the full amount of the employer and participant share of the premiums for continued coverage of the participant and participant’s spouse and dependents under the Company’s Welfare Benefits, pursuant to COBRA as applicable, for a period of one year after the date of termination or until and to the extent the participant is covered by comparable Welfare Benefits, whichever occurs first, and in the event such continued coverage is not allowed by law or the Company’s Welfare Benefits plans, the participant shall be entitled to the cash equivalent of the premiums for such benefits. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the participant finds other employment during the payment period, then the participant shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the date and terms of such employment and the Company shall be entitled to reduce the amount payable to the participant during the period from the commencement of such other employment by the cash compensation received and to be received by the participant for services rendered in connection with such other employment. The Company reserves the right to provide this benefit through a policy of insurance.
The Company will also grant full acceleration of all outstanding and unvested RSA’s upon the death or Disability of a member of the Board of Directors under the Death & Disability Policy.
