Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2017, which was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, and the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis and include the accounts of RE/MAX Holdings and its consolidated subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and the results of its operations and comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 and changes in its stockholders’ equity for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Interim results may not be indicative of full-year performance. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. Reclassifications In addition to the change in accounting principle discussed in Note 3, Revenue certain items in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2017 have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. These reclassifications did not affect the Company’s consolidated results of operations or cash flows. 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 disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Segment Reporting In February 2018, the Company both (a) acquired all membership interests in booj and (b) promoted Adam Contos to the role of sole Chief Executive Officer. Because of these changes and the continued growth of Motto, in the second quarter of 2018 the Company reevaluated the information used by the chief operating decision maker to evaluate performance and make resource allocation decisions. As a result of the reevaluation, the Company determined it was operating under the following three segments: RE/MAX Franchising, Motto Franchising and booj. Due to the immateriality of the Motto Franchising and booj operating segments, the Company has only one reportable segment, RE/MAX Franchising. The RE/MAX Franchising reportable segment comprises the operations of the Company’s owned and independent global franchising operations under the RE/MAX brand name and corporate-wide shared services expenses. Other comprises Motto Franchising and booj. All prior segment information has been recasted to reflect the Company’s new segment structure. Principles of Consolidation RE/MAX Holdings consolidates RMCO and records a non-controlling interest in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and records net income attributable to the non-controlling interest and comprehensive income attributable to the non-controlling interest in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, respectively. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business , which clarifies when transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. ASU 2017-01 became effective prospectively for the Company on January 1, 2018. The Company concluded that the acquisition of booj meets the definition of a business. See Note 6, Acquisitions for additional information. The Company has also concluded that it expects future Independent Region acquisitions to be accounted for as an acquisition of a business. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments , which clarifies classification for certain cash receipts and cash payments on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. ASU 2016-15 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2018 and required a retrospective transition method for each period presented. Under the new guidance, the contingent consideration payments related to the purchase of Full House Mortgage Connection, Inc. (“Full House”), a franchisor of mortgage brokerages that created concepts used to develop Motto, are classified as financing outflows up to the $6.3 million acquisition date fair value and any cash payments paid in excess of the acquisition date fair value are classified as operating outflows. (See Note 6, Acquisitions ). The adoption of this standard had no other material impact on its financial statements and related disclosures. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) , with several subsequent amendments, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU replaced most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it became effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The Company applied Topic 606 retrospectively which resulted in adjusting each prior reporting period presented. Additionally, the adoption of Topic 606 resulted in net cumulative adjustments to “Retained earnings” of $4.9 million and “Non-controlling interest” of $11.6 million which were recorded to the opening balance sheet as of January 1, 2016. The adoption of the new guidance changed the timing of recognition of franchise sales and franchise renewal revenue. Previously, the Company recognized revenue upon completion of a sale or renewal. Under the new guidance, franchise sales and renewal revenue, which are included in “Franchise Sales and Other Revenue” in the Consolidated Statements of Income, are recognized over the contractual term of the franchise agreement. Previously, the Company expensed the commissions upon franchise sale completion. Under the new guidance, the commissions related to franchise sales are recorded as a contract cost when paid and are recognized as expense over the contractual term of the franchise agreement. The adoption of this standard had no material impact on other revenue streams. See Note 3, Revenue for more information. New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), which adjusts the classification of stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. ASU 2018-02 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019. The standard is to be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period effected by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The Company completed the majority of its accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act as of December 31, 2017. The Company believes the amendments of ASU 2018-02 will not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) , which simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating step two from the goodwill impairment test. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests beginning January 1, 2020 for the Company and is required to be adopted using a prospective approach. Early adoption is allowed for annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , which requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from all leases on the consolidated balance sheets. ASU 2016-02 is required to be adopted by the Company on January 1, 2019. The standard requires a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. The Company has several building leases and other smaller leases and is still assessing the application of this standard for those leases. The Company has not yet determined the exact effect of the standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures but expects a material increase in both “Total assets” and “Total liabilities” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets upon implementation.

Revenue	3. Revenue Changes in Revenue Recognition Policies The Company adopted the new revenue standard on January 1, 2018. The Company applied the new revenue standard retrospectively and has recast the 2017 condensed consolidated financial statements as though the new revenue standard had been applied in all periods presented. The Company’s franchise agreements offer the following benefits to the franchisee: common use and promotion of RE/MAX trademarks; distinctive sales and promotional materials; access to technology; standardized supplies and other materials used in RE/MAX offices; and recommended procedures for operation of RE/MAX offices. The Company concluded that these benefits are all a part of one performance obligation, a license of symbolic intellectual property. Franchise sales is comprised of revenue from the sale or renewal of franchises. The Company previously recognized revenue at the time of sale. Under the new revenue standard, the franchise sale initial fees are considered to be a part of the license of symbolic intellectual property, which is now recognized over the contractual term of the franchise agreement, which is typically 5 years for RE/MAX and 7 years for Motto franchise agreements, respectively. Correspondingly, the commissions related to franchise sales are recorded as an asset (the current portion in “Other current assets” and long-term portion in “Other assets, net of current portion”) and are recognized over the contractual term of the franchise agreement in “Selling, operating and administrative expenses”. The following tables summarize the impacts of the new revenue standard adoption on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements (in thousands): Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet Impact of Changes in Accounting Policies As of December 31, 2017 As previously reported Adjustments As adjusted Accounts and notes receivable, current portion, net $ 21,304 $ (1,020) $ 20,284 Income taxes receivable 870 93 963 Other current assets 6,924 1,050 7,974 Deferred tax assets, net 59,151 3,690 62,841 Other assets, net of current portion 1,563 2,460 4,023 Income taxes payable 133 (36) 97 Deferred revenue 18,918 6,350 25,268 Deferred revenue, net of current - 20,228 20,228 Retained earnings 16,027 (7,627) 8,400 Accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax 515 (56) 459 Non-controlling interest 398,348 12,586 410,934 Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income Impact of Changes in Accounting Policies Three Months Ended June 30, 2017 As previously reported Adjustments As adjusted Franchise sales and other revenue $ 4,660 $ (92) $ 4,568 Selling, operating and administrative expenses 20,637 33 20,670 Provision for income taxes 4,762 (27) 4,735 Net income 15,637 (98) 15,539 Net income attributable to non-controlling interest 8,108 (27) 8,081 Net income attributable to RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. 7,529 (71) 7,458 Net income attributable to RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. per share of Class A common stock: Basic 0.43 (0.01) 0.42 Diluted 0.42 (0.00) 0.42 Impact of Changes in Accounting Policies Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 As previously reported Adjustments As adjusted Franchise sales and other revenue $ 13,454 $ (915) $ 12,539 Selling, operating and administrative expenses 47,431 (107) 47,324 Provision for income taxes 7,792 (27) 7,765 Net income 25,708 (781) 24,927 Net income attributable to non-controlling interest 13,266 (337) 12,929 Net income attributable to RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. 12,442 (444) 11,998 Net income attributable to RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. per share of Class A common stock: Basic 0.70 (0.02) 0.68 Diluted 0.70 (0.02) 0.68 Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income Impact of Changes in Accounting Policies Three Months Ended June 30, 2017 As previously reported Adjustments As adjusted Net income $ 15,637 $ (98) $ 15,539 Change in cumulative translation adjustment 368 (17) 351 Comprehensive income 16,005 (115) 15,890 Comprehensive income attributable to non-controlling interest 8,303 (26) 8,277 Comprehensive income attributable to RE/MAX Holdings, Inc., net of tax 7,702 (89) 7,613 Impact of Changes in Accounting Policies Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 As previously reported Adjustments As adjusted Net income $ 25,708 $ (781) $ 24,927 Change in cumulative translation adjustment 463 (23) 440 Comprehensive income 26,171 (804) 25,367 Comprehensive income attributable to non-controlling interest 13,513 (337) 13,176 Comprehensive income attributable to RE/MAX Holdings, Inc., net of tax 12,658 (467) 12,191 Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows Impact of Changes in Accounting Policies Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 As previously reported Adjustments As adjusted Net income $ 25,708 $ (781) $ 24,927 Deferred income tax expense 2,701 (27) 2,674 Changes in operating assets and liabilities (8,801) 808 (7,993) Revenue Recognition Under the New Revenue Standard The Company generates all of its revenue from contracts with customers. The following is a description of principal activities from which the Company generates its revenue. The franchise agreements provide the franchisees the right to access intellectual property throughout the license period. The method used to measure progress is over the passage of time for most streams of revenue. Continuing Franchise Fees The Company provides an ongoing trademark license, operational, training and administrative services and systems to RE/MAX franchisees, which include systems and tools that are designed to help the Company’s franchisees and their agents serve their customers and help franchisees attract new or retain existing agents. Revenue from continuing franchise fees consists of fixed contractual fees paid monthly by franchise owners and franchisees based on the number of RE/MAX agents in the respective franchised region or office and the number of Motto offices (no significant continuing franchise fees were generated by Motto during the periods presented). This revenue is recognized in the month for which the fee is billed. Annual Dues Annual dues revenue represents amounts assessed to agents for membership affiliation in the RE/MAX network. The Company defers the annual dues revenue when billed and recognizes the revenue ratably over the 12-month period to which it relates.

(a) The weighted average ownership percentage of RMCO differs from the allocation of income before provision for income taxes between RE/MAX Holdings and the non-controlling interest due to certain relatively insignificant expenses recorded at RE/MAX Holdings. (b) The provision for income taxes attributable to RE/MAX Holdings is primarily comprised of U.S. federal and state income taxes on its proportionate share of the pass-through income from RMCO. However, it also includes its share of taxes directly incurred by RMCO and its subsidiaries, related primarily to tax liabilities in certain foreign jurisdictions. (c) The provision for income taxes attributable to the non-controlling interest represents its share of taxes related primarily to tax liabilities in certain foreign jurisdictions directly incurred by RMCO or its subsidiaries. Because RMCO is a pass-through entity, there is no U.S. federal and state income tax provision recorded on the non-controlling interest. Distributions and Other Payments to Non-controlling Unitholders Under the terms of RMCO’s fourth amended and restated limited liability company operating agreement (the “New RMCO, LLC Agreement”), RMCO makes cash distributions to non-controlling unitholders on a pro-rata basis. The distributions paid or payable to non-controlling unitholders are summarized as follows (in thousands): Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 2017 Tax and other distributions $ 2,794 $ 6,450 Dividend distributions 5,024 4,521 Total distributions to non-controlling unitholders $ 7,818 $ 10,971 On July 6, 2018 the Company paid $5.0 million pursuant to the terms of the TRAs.

Acquisitions	6. Acquisitions Booj, LLC On February 26, 2018, RE/MAX, LLC acquired all membership interests in booj using $26.3 million in cash generated from operations, plus up to approximately $10.0 million in equity-based compensation to be earned over time, which will be accounted for as compensation expense in the future (see Note 12, Equity-Based Compensation for additional information). RE/MAX, LLC acquired booj in order to deliver core technology solutions designed for RE/MAX affiliates. Booj constitutes a business and was accounted for using the fair value acquisition method. The Company has not completed the analysis necessary to conclude on its purchase price allocation. However, the following table summarizes the Company’s best, current estimate of the allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in thousands): booj Cash $ 362 Other current assets 367 Property and equipment 625 Other intangible assets 7,875 Other assets, net of current portion 336 Total assets acquired, excluding goodwill 9,565 Current portion of debt (606) Other current liabilities (557) Debt, net of current portion (805) Total liabilities assumed (1,968) Goodwill 18,653 Total purchase price $ 26,250 The preliminary estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is subject to adjustments based on the Company’s final assessment of the fair values of the Other intangible assets, which are the acquired assets with the highest likelihood of changing upon finalization of the valuation process. The excess of the total purchase price over the preliminary fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill is attributable to expected synergies and projected long-term revenue growth. All of the goodwill recognized is tax deductible. Revenue and net income attributable to the acquisition of booj were not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. RE/MAX of Northern Illinois, Inc. On November 15, 2017, RE/MAX, LLC acquired certain assets of RE/MAX of Northern Illinois, Inc. (“RE/MAX of Northern Illinois”), including the franchise agreements issued by the Company permitting the sale of RE/MAX franchises in the region as well as the franchise agreements between the Independent Region and the franchisees, using $35.7 million in cash generated from operations. RE/MAX, LLC acquired these assets in order to expand its owned and operated regional franchising operations. The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of assets acquired for RE/MAX of Northern Illinois (in thousands): RE/MAX of Northern Illinois Franchise agreements $ 22,800 Goodwill 12,920 Total purchase price $ 35,720 The Company finalized its accounting for the acquisition of RE/MAX of Northern Illinois during the three months ended June 30, 2018. RE/MAX of Northern Illinois constitutes a business and was accounted for using the fair value acquisition method. The total purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The franchise agreements acquired were valued using an income approach which utilizes level 3 inputs and are being amortized over a weighted-average useful life using the straight-line method. The excess of the total purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill recognized is attributable to expected synergies and projected long term revenue growth. All of the goodwill recognized is tax deductible. Adjustments recorded during the measurement period are calculated as if they were known at the acquisition date, but are recognized in the reporting period in which they are determined. Revisions or adjustments are not made to any prior period information. Adjustments to the accounting for RE/MAX of Northern Illinois were made during the six months ended June 30, 2018 to the consolidated balance sheet to increase “Goodwill” by $0.7 million with a corresponding decrease to “Franchise agreements, net.” Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information The following unaudited pro forma financial information reflects the consolidated results of operations of the Company as if the acquisition of booj had occurred on January 1, 2017 and RE/MAX of Northern Illinois had occurred on January 1, 2016. The historical financial information has been adjusted to give effect to events that are (1) directly attributed to the acquisitions, (2) factually supportable and (3) expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results, including additional amortization expense associated with the valuation of the acquired franchise agreements. This unaudited pro forma information should not be relied upon as necessarily being indicative of the historical results that would have been obtained if the acquisitions had actually occurred on that date, nor of the results that may be obtained in the future.

Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements	10. Fair Value Measurements Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering assumptions, the Company follows a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which is described in detail in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. A summary of the Company’s liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 is as follows (in thousands): As of June 30, 2018 As of December 31, 2017 Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Liabilities Contingent consideration $ 6,610 $ - $ - $ 6,610 $ 6,580 $ - $ - $ 6,580 The Company is required to pay additional purchase consideration totaling eight percent of gross revenues collected by Motto each year (the “Revenue Share Year”), beginning after September 30, 2017 and continuing through September 30, 2026, with no limitation as to the maximum payout. The annual payment to the former owner of Full House is required to be made within 120 days of the end of each Revenue Share Year. Each Revenue Share Year ends September 30. The fair value of the contingent purchase consideration represents the forecasted discounted cash payments that the Company expects to pay Full House with respect to the acquired business. The Company measures this liability each reporting period and recognizes changes in fair value, if any, in earnings of the Company. Any changes are included in “Selling, operating and administrative expenses” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Increases or decreases in the fair value of the contingent purchase consideration can result from changes in discount rates as well as the timing and amount of forecasted cash payments derived from anticipated gross revenues. The table below presents a reconciliation of all liabilities of the Company measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs for the period from January 1, 2018 to June 30, 2018 (in thousands): Fair Value of Contingent Consideration Liability Balance at January 1, 2018 $ 6,580 Fair value adjustments 80 Cash payments (50) Balance at June 30, 2018 $ 6,610 The Company assesses categorization of assets and liabilities by level at each measurement date, and transfers between levels are recognized on the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. There were no transfers between Levels I, II and III during the six months ended June 30, 2018 .

Income Taxes
Income Taxes	11. Income Taxes The “Provision for income taxes” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 is based on an estimate of the Company’s annualized effective income tax rate. The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. As of June 30, 2018, the Company does not believe it has any significant uncertain tax positions. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was enacted which includes significant changes to the U.S. corporate tax system. On December 22, 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 118, which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act for which the accounting under ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) is incomplete. To the extent that a company's accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is incomplete but it is able to determine a reasonable estimate, it must record a provisional estimate in the financial statements. If a company cannot determine a provisional estimate to be included in the financial statements, it should continue to apply ASC 740 on the basis of the provisions of the tax laws that were in effect immediately before enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The Company completed the majority of the accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act as of December 31, 2017. However, the Company’s analysis around the new foreign-derived intangible income (“FDII”) deduction remains incomplete. As such, the Company has not estimated or included a provisional adjustment for deferred tax assets related to the FDII deduction. Also, there is uncertainty around the depreciable life of qualified property as well as eligibility for accelerated depreciation after September 27, 2017. Therefore the Company has not estimated a provisional amount for deferred tax assets related to qualified property depreciation expense. In addition, the Company re-measured the applicable deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse. The Company is still analyzing certain aspects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and is refining its calculations, which could potentially affect the measurement of these balances. In accordance with current SEC guidance, the Company will report the impact of these items in the reporting period in which the accounting is completed, which will not exceed one year from the date of enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

Equity-Based Compensation
Equity-Based Compensation	12. Equity-Based Compensation The RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2013 Incentive Plan”) includes restricted stock units (“RSUs”) which may have time-based or performance-based vesting criteria. The Company recognizes equity-based compensation expense in “Selling, operating and administrative expenses” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company recognizes corporate income tax benefits relating to the vesting of restricted stock units in “Provision for income taxes” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Employee stock-based compensation expense under the Company’s 2013 Incentive Plan, net of the amount capitalized in internally developed software, is as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2018 2017 2018 2017 Expense from Time-based RSUs $ 1,058 $ 615 $ 1,858 $ 1,142 Expense from Performance-based RSUs 1,098 117 1,566 151 Equity-based compensation expense 2,156 732 3,424 1,293 Tax benefit from equity-based compensation (305) (161) (484) (284) Excess tax benefit from equity-based compensation (73) (117) (145) (324) Net compensation cost $ 1,778 $ 454 $ 2,795 $ 685 Time-based Restricted Stock Units Time-based RSUs are valued using the Company’s closing stock price on the date of grant. Grants awarded to the Company’s Board of Directors generally vest over a one-year period. Grants awarded to the Company’s employees, other than booj employees and former owners in connection with the acquisition, generally vest equally in annual installments over a three-year period. Grants awarded to booj employees and former owners in connection with the acquisition vest in three installments over a four-year period. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The following table summarizes equity-based compensation activity related to time-based RSUs as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2018: Time-based restricted stock units Weighted average grant date fair value per share Balance, January 1, 2018 105,862 $ 41.67 Granted 231,413 $ 54.68 Shares vested (including tax withholding) (a) (64,878) $ 40.96 Forfeited (4,477) $ 42.38 Balance, June 30, 2018 267,920 $ 53.07 (a) Pursuant to the terms of the 2013 Incentive Plan, RSUs withheld by the Company for the payment of the employee's tax withholding related to an RSU vesting are added back to the pool of shares available for future awards. At June 30, 2018, there was $12.8 million of total unrecognized time-based RSU expense, all of which is related to unvested awards. This compensation expense is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average remaining vesting period of 3.06 years for time-based restricted stock units. Performance-based Restricted Stock Units Performance-based RSUs for employees, other than booj employees and former owners in connection with the acquisition, are stock-based awards in which the number of shares ultimately received depends on the Company’s achievement of a specified revenue as well as the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) relative to the TSR of all companies in the S&P SmallCap 600 Index over a three-year performance period. The number of shares that could be issued range from 0% to 150% of the participant’s target award. Performance-based RSUs are valued on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation for the TSR element of the award. The Company’s expense will be adjusted based on the estimated achievement of revenue versus target. Earned performance-based RSUs cliff-vest at the end of the three-year performance period. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight line basis over the vesting period based on the Company’s estimated performance. Performance-based RSUs granted to booj employees and former owners in connection with the acquisition are stock-based awards in which the number of shares ultimately received depends on the achievement of certain technology requirements set forth in the related purchase agreement. The number of shares that could be issued range from 0% to 100% of the participant’s target award. The awards were valued using the Company’s closing stock price on the date of grant. The Company’s expense will be adjusted based on the estimated achievement of the requirements. Earned performance-based RSUs vest May 31, 2019 and November 1, 2019 to the extent the corresponding requirements are achieved. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight line basis over the vesting period based on the Company’s estimated performance. The following table summarizes equity-based compensation activity related to performance-based RSUs as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2018: Performance-based restricted stock units Weighted average grant date fair value per share Balance, January 1, 2018 31,831 $ 57.88 Granted (a) 156,694 $ 55.38 Forfeited (3,213) $ 57.55 Balance, June 30, 2018 185,312 $ 55.77 (a) Represents the total participant target award. At June 30, 2018, there was $7.9 million of total unrecognized performance-based RSU expense, all of which is related to unvested awards. This compensation expense is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average remaining vesting period of 1.69 years for performance-based RSUs. After giving effect to all outstanding awards (assuming maximum achievement of performance goals for performance-based awards), there were 2,263,325 additional shares available for the Company to grant under the 2013 Incentive Plan as of June 30, 2018.

Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments and Contingencies	14. Commitments and Contingencies Commitments The Company leases offices and equipment under noncancelable leases, subject to certain provisions for renewal options and escalation clauses. Additionally, the Company acquired an office lease in connection with the acquisition of booj. Future lease payments are approximately $0.2 million per year for the next five years with payments thereafter totaling approximately $2.0 million. Contingencies In connection with the purchase of Full House, the Company entered into an arrangement to pay additional purchase consideration based on Motto’s future gross revenues collected, excluding certain fees, for each year beginning October 1, 2017 through September 30, 2026. As of June 30, 2018, this liability was estimated to be $6.6 million. See Note 10, Fair Value Measurements for additional information. In connection with the sale of the assets and liabilities related to the Company’s previously owned brokerages, the Company entered into three Assignment and Assumption of Lease Agreements (the “Assignment Agreements”) pursuant to which the Company assigned its obligations under and rights, title and interest in 21 leases to the respective purchasers. For certain leases, the Company remains secondarily liable for future lease payments through July 2021 under the respective lease agreements and accordingly, as of June 30, 2018, the Company has outstanding lease guarantees of $2.7 million. This amount represents the maximum potential amount of future payments under the respective lease guarantees. In the event of default by the purchaser, the indemnity and default clauses in the Assignment Agreements govern the Company’s ability to pursue and recover damages incurred, if any, against the purchaser. Litigation The Company is subject to litigation claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes that it has adequately accrued for legal matters as appropriate. The Company records litigation accruals for legal matters which are both probable and estimable and for related legal costs as incurred. The Company does not reduce these liabilities for potential insurance or third-party recoveries. On October 7, 2013, RE/MAX Holdings acquired the net assets, excluding cash, of Tails for consideration paid of $20.2 million. Following earlier litigation that was dismissed, several shareholders of Tails filed a complaint entitled Robert B. Fisher, Carla L. Fisher, Bradley G. Rhodes and James D. Schwartz v. Gail Liniger, Dave Liniger, Bruce Benham, RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. and Tails Holdco, Inc. in Denver District Court ("Tails II"). On February 13, 2018, the parties signed a formal Settlement Agreement and Mutual General Release. On February 27, 2018 the Company received $1.9 million from its insurance carriers as reimbursement of attorneys’ fees and a portion of the settlement. On February 28, 2018, the Company paid $4.5 million to satisfy the terms of the Settlement Agreement. As a result of the settlement, the litigation was dismissed with prejudice on March 1, 2018. Management of the Company believes no other such litigation matters involving a reasonably possible chance of loss will not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2017, which was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, and the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis and include the accounts of RE/MAX Holdings and its consolidated subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and the results of its operations and comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 and changes in its stockholders’ equity for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Interim results may not be indicative of full-year performance. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Reclassifications	Reclassifications In addition to the change in accounting principle discussed in Note 3, Revenue certain items in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2017 have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. These reclassifications did not affect the Company’s consolidated results of operations or cash flows.
Use of Estimates	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 disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation RE/MAX Holdings consolidates RMCO and records a non-controlling interest in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and records net income attributable to the non-controlling interest and comprehensive income attributable to the non-controlling interest in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, respectively.
Segment Reporting	Segment Reporting In February 2018, the Company both (a) acquired all membership interests in booj and (b) promoted Adam Contos to the role of sole Chief Executive Officer. Because of these changes and the continued growth of Motto, in the second quarter of 2018 the Company reevaluated the information used by the chief operating decision maker to evaluate performance and make resource allocation decisions. As a result of the reevaluation, the Company determined it was operating under the following three segments: RE/MAX Franchising, Motto Franchising and booj. Due to the immateriality of the Motto Franchising and booj operating segments, the Company has only one reportable segment, RE/MAX Franchising. The RE/MAX Franchising reportable segment comprises the operations of the Company’s owned and independent global franchising operations under the RE/MAX brand name and corporate-wide shared services expenses. Other comprises Motto Franchising and booj. All prior segment information has been recasted to reflect the Company’s new segment structure.
Revenue Recognition	Changes in Revenue Recognition Policies The Company adopted the new revenue standard on January 1, 2018. The Company applied the new revenue standard retrospectively and has recast the 2017 condensed consolidated financial statements as though the new revenue standard had been applied in all periods presented. The Company’s franchise agreements offer the following benefits to the franchisee: common use and promotion of RE/MAX trademarks; distinctive sales and promotional materials; access to technology; standardized supplies and other materials used in RE/MAX offices; and recommended procedures for operation of RE/MAX offices. The Company concluded that these benefits are all a part of one performance obligation, a license of symbolic intellectual property. Franchise sales is comprised of revenue from the sale or renewal of franchises. The Company previously recognized revenue at the time of sale. Under the new revenue standard, the franchise sale initial fees are considered to be a part of the license of symbolic intellectual property, which is now recognized over the contractual term of the franchise agreement, which is typically 5 years for RE/MAX and 7 years for Motto franchise agreements, respectively. Correspondingly, the commissions related to franchise sales are recorded as an asset (the current portion in “Other current assets” and long-term portion in “Other assets, net of current portion”) and are recognized over the contractual term of the franchise agreement in “Selling, operating and administrative expenses”.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business , which clarifies when transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. ASU 2017-01 became effective prospectively for the Company on January 1, 2018. The Company concluded that the acquisition of booj meets the definition of a business. See Note 6, Acquisitions for additional information. The Company has also concluded that it expects future Independent Region acquisitions to be accounted for as an acquisition of a business. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments , which clarifies classification for certain cash receipts and cash payments on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. ASU 2016-15 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2018 and required a retrospective transition method for each period presented. Under the new guidance, the contingent consideration payments related to the purchase of Full House Mortgage Connection, Inc. (“Full House”), a franchisor of mortgage brokerages that created concepts used to develop Motto, are classified as financing outflows up to the $6.3 million acquisition date fair value and any cash payments paid in excess of the acquisition date fair value are classified as operating outflows. (See Note 6, Acquisitions ). The adoption of this standard had no other material impact on its financial statements and related disclosures. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) , with several subsequent amendments, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU replaced most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it became effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The Company applied Topic 606 retrospectively which resulted in adjusting each prior reporting period presented. Additionally, the adoption of Topic 606 resulted in net cumulative adjustments to “Retained earnings” of $4.9 million and “Non-controlling interest” of $11.6 million which were recorded to the opening balance sheet as of January 1, 2016. The adoption of the new guidance changed the timing of recognition of franchise sales and franchise renewal revenue. Previously, the Company recognized revenue upon completion of a sale or renewal. Under the new guidance, franchise sales and renewal revenue, which are included in “Franchise Sales and Other Revenue” in the Consolidated Statements of Income, are recognized over the contractual term of the franchise agreement. Previously, the Company expensed the commissions upon franchise sale completion. Under the new guidance, the commissions related to franchise sales are recorded as a contract cost when paid and are recognized as expense over the contractual term of the franchise agreement. The adoption of this standard had no material impact on other revenue streams. See Note 3, Revenue for more information.
New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted	New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), which adjusts the classification of stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. ASU 2018-02 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019. The standard is to be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period effected by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The Company completed the majority of its accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act as of December 31, 2017. The Company believes the amendments of ASU 2018-02 will not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) , which simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating step two from the goodwill impairment test. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests beginning January 1, 2020 for the Company and is required to be adopted using a prospective approach. Early adoption is allowed for annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , which requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from all leases on the consolidated balance sheets. ASU 2016-02 is required to be adopted by the Company on January 1, 2019. The standard requires a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. The Company has several building leases and other smaller leases and is still assessing the application of this standard for those leases. The Company has not yet determined the exact effect of the standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures but expects a material increase in both “Total assets” and “Total liabilities” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets upon implementation.

(a) The weighted average ownership percentage of RMCO differs from the allocation of income before provision for income taxes between RE/MAX Holdings and the non-controlling interest due to certain relatively insignificant expenses recorded at RE/MAX Holdings. (b) The provision for income taxes attributable to RE/MAX Holdings is primarily comprised of U.S. federal and state income taxes on its proportionate share of the pass-through income from RMCO. However, it also includes its share of taxes directly incurred by RMCO and its subsidiaries, related primarily to tax liabilities in certain foreign jurisdictions. (c) The provision for income taxes attributable to the non-controlling interest represents its share of taxes related primarily to tax liabilities in certain foreign jurisdictions directly incurred by RMCO or its subsidiaries. Because RMCO is a pass-through entity, there is no U.S. federal and state income tax provision recorded on the non-controlling interest.
