RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. (the "Company" or "RE/MAX") (NYSE: RMAX), one of the world's leading franchisors of real estate brokerage services, today announced operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014.

"We continue to grow our network of highly productive agents, maintain our expense discipline and expand our margins," stated Margaret Kelly, Chief Executive Officer of RE/MAX. "Even with mixed trends in the housing market, the strength and resilience of our business model is evident in the performance of our key business drivers. We are encouraged by our ongoing momentum and we expect continued agent count growth and solid margins for the remainder of the year."

Second Quarter 2014 Operating Results

Agent Count

Total agent count grew by 4,280 agents or 4.7% to 96,089 agents compared to the second quarter of 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company grew agent count by 2,861 agents or 3.1%. In the United States ("U.S."), agent count increased by 2,934 agents or 5.5% to 56,262 agents compared to the prior year quarter. In Canada, agent count decreased by 15 agents or 0.1% to 19,030 agents compared to the prior year quarter. Outside the U.S. and Canada, agent count increased by 1,361 agents or 7.0% to 20,797 agents compared to the prior year quarter.

Revenue

RE/MAX generated revenue of $42.3 million during the second quarter of 2014, a 7.8% increase compared to $39.2 million for the same period in 2013 driven by an increase in agent count and incremental revenue from the acquired Southwest and Central Atlantic regions. Recurring revenue streams, which include continuing franchise fees and annual dues, accounted for 60.7% of revenues in the second quarter of 2014 compared to 58.3% in the prior year quarter.

Continuing franchise fees were $18.0 million, up $2.2 million or 13.8% over the prior year quarter primarily due to growth in agent count and additional revenue as a result of the acquisition of the Southwest and Central Atlantic regions in October 2013.

Revenue from annual dues was $7.6 million, up $0.6 million or 8.5% due to an increase in total agent count of 4,280 from the prior year quarter, of which 2,919 agents were located in the U.S. and Canada, and the January 1, 2014 increase in annual dues membership fee in the U.S. and Canada.

Revenue from broker fees was $8.0 million, up $1.2 million or 17.4% compared to the prior year quarter. The increase was driven by growth in agent count and additional revenue that resulted from the acquisition of the Southwest and Central Atlantic regions.

Franchise sales and other franchise revenue was $4.6 million, in-line with the prior year quarter.

Brokerage revenue, which principally represents fees assessed by the Company's owned brokerages for services provided to their affiliated real estate agents, was $4.1 million, a decrease of $0.9 million or 17.7% from the prior year quarter. The decrease was due to reduced management fee revenue recognized by our owned brokerage offices and a reduction in the number of closed transaction sides and home sales volume.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses were $23.3 million in the second quarter of 2014, a decrease of $2.5 million or 9.5% compared to the prior year quarter. Selling, operating and administrative expenses were $19.5 million, down $2.5 million or 11.4% from the prior year quarter. Selling, operating and administrative expenses were 46.0% of revenue in the second quarter of 2014 compared to 56.0% in the prior year quarter. The reduction in operating expenses is primarily due to lower professional fees compared to the prior year quarter when the Company incurred expenses related to its initial public offering ("IPO"). Selling, operating and administrative expenses also decreased due to a reduction in rent expense as a result of increased sublease income at the corporate office and the renegotiation of certain leases at the Company's owned brokerage offices.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA margin was 57.2% for the second quarter of 2014 compared to 54.2% in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was $24.2 million in the second quarter of 2014, up 13.7% or $2.9 million from the prior year quarter. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was largely driven by revenue growth attributable to an increase in agent count and incremental contributions from the acquired Southwest and Central Atlantic regions. The increase was also attributable to lower selling, operating and administrative expenses and foreign currency transaction gains related primarily to cash held in Canadian dollars. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income is included in Table 5.

Net Income

Reported net income was $14.5 million for the second quarter of 2014, an increase of $5.0 million or 52.0% compared to the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to higher operating income, lower interest expense as a result of the Company's 2013 refinancing activity and gains associated with foreign currency transactions, partially offset by a higher provision for income taxes.

Adjusted net income2 was $13.4 million for the second quarter 2014, an increase of $2.7 million or 25.4% compared to the prior year quarter. Adjusted basic and diluted EPS were $0.46 and $0.45, respectively for the second quarter 2014.

Net income attributable to RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. was $4.4 million for the second quarter of 2014. This amount excludes net income attributable to non-controlling interest. Reported basic and diluted EPS attributable to RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. were $0.38 and $0.36, respectively. Refer to Table 1 for the share counts used in the calculation of U.S. GAAP basic and diluted EPS attributable to RE/MAX Holdings, Inc.

The ownership structure used to calculate adjusted basic and diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 reflects RE/MAX owning 100% of RMCO, LLC ("RMCO"). The actual RE/MAX ownership of RMCO was 39.50% at June 30, 2014. Refer to Table 6 in this press release for a reconciliation of Adjusted net income to net income and the share counts used in the Adjusted basic and diluted EPS calculations.

Balance Sheet

As of June 30, 2014, the Company had a cash balance of $84.6 million, a decrease of $3.8 million from December 31, 2013. The Company made an excess cash flow payment of $14.6 million on its term loan in April of 2014. The Company had $212.7 million of term loans outstanding, net of unamortized discount as of June 30, 2014, down from $228.4 million as of December 31, 2013.

Dividend

The Company's Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.0625 per share of Class A common stock. The dividend is payable on September 3, 2014 to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 20, 2014.

Outlook

Based on the Company's performance during the first and second quarters of this year and its belief in a measured and sustainable housing recovery, the Company is providing the following outlook for its third quarter 2014 and re-confirming its full-year outlook for 2014:

Third Quarter 2014 Outlook:

  • Agent count is estimated to increase by 4% to 5% over third quarter 2013,
  • Revenue is estimated to increase by 7% to 8% over third quarter 2013,
  • Selling, operating and administrative expenses are estimated to be 48% to 50% of revenue; and
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin is estimated to be in the 50% to 52% range.

Full-Year 2014 Outlook:

  • Agent count is estimated to increase by 4% to 5% over 2013,
  • Revenue is estimated to increase by 6% to 7% over 2013,
  • Selling, operating and administrative expenses are estimated to be 52% to 54% of revenue; and
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin is estimated to be in the 47% and 49% range.

Revenue, Selling, operating and administrative expenses and Adjusted EBITDA margin are subject to fluctuations in the Canadian dollar to U.S. dollar exchange rate.

Basis of Presentation

Subsequent to the IPO, RE/MAX began to operate and control all of the business affairs of RMCO. As a result, RE/MAX began to consolidate RMCO on October 7, 2013, and because RE/MAX and RMCO are entities under common control, such consolidation has been reflected for all periods presented.  Unless otherwise noted, the results presented in this press release are consolidated and exclude adjustments attributable to the non-controlling interest.

These historical results do not purport to reflect what the results of operations of RE/MAX would have been had the IPO and related reorganization and other transactions occurred prior to such periods.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The SEC has adopted rules to regulate the use in filings with the SEC and in public disclosures of financial measures that are not in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") financial measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income and the ratios related thereto. These measures are derived on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

RE/MAX defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA (consolidated net income before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net and the provision for income taxes, each of which is presented in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this press release), adjusted for the impact of the following items that we do not consider representative of the Company's ongoing operating performance: gain on sale or disposition of assets and sublease, loss on early extinguishment of debt, equity-based compensation, non-cash straight-line rent expense, salaries paid to David and Gail Liniger, the Company's Chairman and Vice Chair, respectively, that the Company discontinued subsequent to the completion of the IPO, professional fees and non-recurring expenses incurred in connection with the IPO and acquisition integration costs.

RE/MAX defines Adjusted Net Income as net income, excluding the impact of amortization expense related to the Company's franchise agreements, charges incurred related to the early extinguishment of debt, gain on sale or disposition of assets and sublease, equity-based compensation, salaries paid to David and Gail Liniger, that the Company discontinued subsequent to the completion of the IPO, expenses incurred in connection with the IPO, and acquisition integration costs and reflects income taxes, as if all outstanding common units of RMCO were exchanged for or converted into shares of the Company's Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. Assuming the full exchange and conversion, all income of RMCO is treated as if it were allocated to RE/MAX, and the adjusted provision for income taxes represents an estimate of income tax expense at an effective rate reflecting assumed federal, state, and local income taxes. The estimated effective tax rate was 38%.

Because Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income omit certain non-cash items and other non-recurring cash charges, the Company feels that these metrics are less susceptible to variances that affect the Company's operating performance resulting from depreciation, amortization and other non-cash and non-recurring cash charges or other items and is more reflective of other factors that affect the Company's operating performance. The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income because it believes the metrics are useful as supplemental measures in evaluating the performance of the Company's operating businesses and provide greater transparency into the Company's results of operations. The Company's management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a factor in evaluating the performance of their business.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyzing results

RE/MAX reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

  • these measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company's working capital needs;
  • these measures do not reflect historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
  • although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often require replacement in the future, and these measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the Company's interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on the Company's debt;
  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the Company's income tax expense or the cash requirements to pay the Company's taxes;
  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the cash requirements to pay dividends and distributions to non-controlling unitholders; and
  • other companies may calculate these measures differently, so they may not be comparable.

With respect to the Company's outlook with respect to Adjusted EBITDA margin for the third quarter and the full fiscal year 2014, the Company is not able to provide a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to U.S. GAAP because it does not provide specific guidance for the various reconciling non-cash items and other non-recurring cash charges, such as gain on sale or disposition of assets and sublease, loss on early extinguishment of debt and equity-based compensation, among others. Certain items that impact these measures have not yet occurred, are out of the Company's control or cannot be reasonably predicted, and as a result, reconciliation of this non-GAAP guidance measures to U.S. GAAP is not available without unreasonable effort.
