Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2018, 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 March 31, 2019 and the results of its operations and comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in its stockholder’s equity for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 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, 2018 (“2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K”). 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 January 2019, the Company acquired all of the regional and pan-regional advertising fund entities previously owned by its founder and Chairman of the Board of Directors, David Liniger. All of these entities, except for the Western Canada region, were then merged into a new entity called RE/MAX Marketing Fund (with the Western Canada fund, collectively, the “Marketing Funds”). See Note 6, Acquisitions for more information. As a result of the acquisition of the Marketing Funds, the Company added the Marketing Funds as a reportable segment as of January 1, 2019. The Company operates under the following reportable segments: · RE/MAX Franchising – 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. · Marketing Funds – comprises the operations of the Company’s marketing campaigns designed to build and maintain brand awareness and support certain agent marketing technology. · Other – comprises the operations of Motto Franchising and booj, which, due to quantitative insignificance, do not meet the criteria of a reportable segment. 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. Revenue Recognition The Company generates most of its revenue from contracts with customers. The Company’s franchise agreements offer the following benefits to the franchisee: common use and promotion of RE/MAX and Motto trademarks; distinctive sales and promotional materials; access to technology; standardized supplies and other materials used in RE/MAX and Motto offices; and recommended procedures for operation of RE/MAX or Motto offices. The Company concluded that these benefits are highly related and all a part of one performance obligation, a license of symbolic intellectual property that is billed through a variety of fees including franchise sales, continuing franchise fees, marketing funds fees, broker fees, and annual dues, described below. The Company has other performance obligations associated with contracts with customers in other revenue for training, marketing and events, and legacy booj customers. The method used to measure progress is over the passage of time for most streams of revenue. The following is a description of principal activities from which the Company generates its revenue. Continuing Franchise Fees Revenue from continuing franchise fees consists of fixed contractual fees paid monthly by franchisees based on the number of RE/MAX agents in the respective franchised region or office and the number of Motto offices. This revenue is recognized in the month for which the fee is billed. This revenue is a usage-based royalty as it is dependent on the number of RE/MAX agents and number of Motto offices. Marketing Funds Fees Revenue from Marketing Funds 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 or the number of Motto offices. These revenues are obligated to be used for marketing campaigns to build brand awareness and to support agent marketing technology. Amounts received into the Marketing Funds are recognized as revenue in the month for which the fee is billed. This revenue is a usage-based royalty as it is dependent on the number of RE/MAX agents or number of Motto offices. All assets of the Marketing Funds are contractually restricted for the benefit of franchisees, and the Company recognizes an equal and offsetting liability on the Company’s balance sheet. Additionally, this results in recording an equal and offsetting amount of expenses against all revenues such that there is no impact to overall profitability of the Company from these revenues. Annual Dues Annual dues revenue consists of fixed contractual fees paid annually based on the number of RE/MAX agents. The Company defers the annual dues revenue when billed and recognizes the revenue ratably over the 12-month period to which it relates. Annual dues revenue is a usage-based royalty as it is dependent on the number of RE/MAX agents. The activity in the Company’s deferred revenue for annual dues is included in “Deferred revenue” and “Deferred revenue, net of current portion” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and consists of the following in aggregate (in thousands): Balance at New billings Revenue recognized (a) Balance at end Three months ended March 31, 2019 $ 15,877 $ 10,038 $ (8,854) $ 17,061 (a) Broker Fees Revenue from broker fees represents fees received from the Company’s RE/MAX franchised regions or franchise offices that are based on a percentage of RE/MAX agents’ gross commission income on home sale transactions. Revenue from broker fees is recognized as a sales-based royalty and recognized in the month when a home sale transaction occurs. Motto franchisees do not pay any fees based on the number or dollar value of loans brokered. Franchise Sales Franchise sales comprises revenue from the sale or renewal of franchises. A fee is charged upon a franchise sale or renewal. Those fees are deemed to be a part of the license of symbolic intellectual property and are recognized as revenue over the contractual term of the franchise agreement, which is typically five years for RE/MAX and seven years for Motto franchise agreements. The activity in the Company’s franchise sales deferred revenue accounts consists of the following (in thousands): Balance at New billings Revenue recognized (a) Balance at end Three months ended March 31, 2019 $ 27,560 $ 1,756 $ (2,449) $ 26,867 (a) Commissions Related to Franchise Sales Commissions paid on franchise sales are recognized as an asset and amortized over the contract life of the franchise agreement. The activity in the Company’s capitalized contract costs for commissions (which are included in “other current assets” and “other assets, net of current portion” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets) consist of the following (in thousands): Balance at Additions to contract Balance at end beginning of period Expense recognized cost for new activity of period Three months ended March 31, 2019 $ 3,748 $ (385) $ 369 $ 3,732 Other Revenue Other revenue is primarily revenue from preferred marketing arrangements and event-based revenue from training and other programs. Revenue from preferred marketing arrangements involves both flat fees paid in advance as well as revenue sharing, both of which are generally recognized over the period of the arrangement and are recorded net as the Company does not control the good or service provided. Event-based revenue is recognized when the event occurs and until then is included in “Deferred revenue”.

These services are primarily comprised of (a) providing agent marketing technology, including customer relationship management tools, the www.remax.com website, agent and office websites, and mobile apps, (b) dedicated employees focused on marketing campaigns, and (c) various administrative services including accounting, tax and legal. Because these costs are ultimately paid by the Marketing Funds, they do not impact the net income of RE/MAX Holdings as the Marketing Funds have no reported net income. Costs charged from RE/MAX Franchising to the Marketing Funds for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are as follows (in thousands): Technology development - operating $ 965 Technology development - capital 935 Marketing staff and administrative services 1,025 Total $ 2,925 Costs charged to the Marketing Funds for the three months ended March 31, 2018 are disclosed in Note 15, Related-Party Transactions . Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“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 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. The standard is to be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period affected 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 amendments of ASU 2018-02 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , with several subsequent amendments, which requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating and finance leases on the consolidated balance sheets, with a few exceptions. ASU 2016-02 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2019 and replaced the existing lease guidance in U.S. GAAP when it became effective. The Company did not retrospectively recast prior periods presented and instead adjusted assets and liabilities on January 1, 2019. In addition, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allowed the Company to forgo reassessing (a) whether a contract contains a lease, (b) lease classification, and (c) whether capitalized costs associated with a lease are initial direct costs. The practical expedient was applied consistently to all the Company’s leases, including those for which the Company acts as the lessor. In addition, the Company elected the practical expedient relating to the combination of lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. The Company chose not to apply the hindsight practical expedient. The new lease guidance has been applied to all the Company’s leases as of January 1, 2019, which impacted how operating lease assets and liabilities were recorded within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, resulting in the recording of approximately $65.8 million of lease liabilities and approximately $55.6 million of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Deferred rent and sublease loss balances as of January 1, 2019 of approximately $9.3 million and approximately $2.4 million, respectively, and intangible assets of approximately $1.5 million were subsumed into the ROU asset at transition. Adoption of the new standard did not materially affect the Company’s consolidated net earnings and had no impact on cash flows. See Note 3, Leases, for more information. New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) , which eliminates certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements and requires new or modified disclosures. ASU 2018-13 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020. Certain changes are applied retrospectively to each period presented and others are to be applied either in the period of adoption or prospectively. The Company believes the amendments of ASU 2018-13 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. |

Leases | 3. Leases The Company leases corporate offices, a distribution center, billboards and certain equipment. As all franchisees are independently owned and operated, there are no leases recognized for any offices used by the Company’s franchisees. The leases have remaining lease terms ranging from less than a year up to 15 years, some of which include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to 20 years depending on the lease. Of these renewal options, the Company determined that none are reasonably certain to be exercised. The Company has an 18-year lease for its corporate headquarters office building (the “Master Lease”). The Company may, at its option, extend the Master Lease for two renewal periods of 10 years. Under the terms of the Master Lease, the Company pays an annual base rent, which escalates 3% each year, including the first optional renewal period. The first year of the second optional renewal period is at a fair market rental value, and the rent escalates 3% each year until expiration. The Company pays for operating expenses in connection with the ownership, maintenance, operation, upkeep and repair of the leased space. The Company may assign or sublet an interest in the Master Lease only with the approval of the landlord. The Master Lease is the Company’s only significant lease as of March 31, 2019. The Company acts as the lessor for four sublease agreements on its corporate headquarters, consisting solely of operating leases, each of which include a renewal option for the lessee to extend the length of the lease. Renewal options for two of the sublease agreements are contingent upon renewal of the corporate headquarters lease, which is not reasonably certain to be exercised in 2028. As such, the Company determined these sublease renewal options are not reasonably certain to be exercised. Renewal options for the remaining two sublease agreements have already been exercised and will expire before the end of the corporate headquarters lease in 2028. All the Company’s material leases are classified as operating leases. The Company has made an accounting policy election not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities that arise from any of its short-term leases. All leases with a term of 12 months or less at commencement, for which the Company is not reasonably certain to exercise available renewal options that would extend the lease term past 12 months, will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The short-term lease expense was not material as of March 31, 2019. The Company used its Senior Secured Credit Facility interest rate to extrapolate a rate for each of its leases to calculate the present value of the lease liability and right-of-use asset. A summary of the Company’s lease cost is as follows (in thousands, except for weighted-averages): Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Lease Cost Operating lease cost (a) $ 2,940 Sublease income (360) Total lease cost $ 2,580 Other information Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities Operating cash flows from operating leases $ 2,086 Weighted-average remaining lease term in years - operating leases 9.2 Weighted-average discount rate - operating leases 6.3 % (a) Includes approximately $0.6 million of variable lease cost.

The ownership of the common units in RMCO is summarized as follows: March 31, December 31, 2019 2018 Shares Ownership % Shares Ownership % Non-controlling interest ownership of common units in RMCO 12,559,600 41.36 % 12,559,600 41.43 % RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. outstanding Class A common stock (equal to RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. common units in RMCO) 17,807,948 58.64 % 17,754,416 58.57 % Total common units in RMCO 30,367,548 100.00 % 30,314,016 100.00 % The weighted average ownership percentages for the applicable reporting periods are used to calculate the net income attributable to RE/MAX Holdings. A reconciliation of “Income before provision for income taxes” to “Net Income attributable to RE/MAX Holdings, Inc.” and “Net Income attributable to non-controlling interest” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the periods indicated is detailed as follows (in thousands, except for percentages): Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 2018 RE/MAX Non-controlling Total RE/MAX Non-controlling Total Weighted average ownership percentage of RMCO (a) 58.60 % 41.40 % 100.00 % 58.51 % 41.49 % 100.00 % Income before provision for income taxes (a) $ 5,958 $ 4,207 $ 10,165 $ 6,453 $ 4,576 $ 11,029 Provision for income taxes (b)(c) (1,549) (359) (1,908) (1,470) (392) (1,862) Net income $ 4,409 $ 3,848 $ 8,257 $ 4,983 $ 4,184 $ 9,167 (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. It also includes RE/MAX Holdings’ 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 “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): Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 2018 Tax and other distributions $ 55 $ 1,700 Dividend distributions 2,638 2,512 Total distributions to non-controlling unitholders $ 2,693 $ 4,212 |

Acquisitions | 6. Acquisitions Marketing Funds On January 1, 2019, the Company acquired all of the regional and pan-regional advertising fund entities previously owned by its founder and Chairman of the Board of Directors, David Liniger, for a nominal amount. As in the past, the Marketing Funds are contractually obligated to use the funds collected to support both regional and pan-regional marketing campaigns designed to build and maintain brand awareness and to support the Company’s agent marketing technology. The Company does not plan for the use of the funds to change because of this acquisition and consolidation. The acquisitions of the Marketing Funds are part of the Company’s succession plan, and ownership of the Marketing Funds by the franchisor is a common structure. Fees incurred with the acquisition of the Marketing Funds were not material for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018. The total assets equal the total liabilities of the Marketing Funds and beginning January 1, 2019, are reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company. The Company also began recognizing revenue from the amounts collected, which substantially increased its revenues and expenses. The following table summarizes the Company’s preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in thousands): Restricted cash $ 28,495 Other current assets 8,472 Property and equipment 788 Other assets, net of current portion 126 Total assets acquired 37,881 Other current liabilities 37,881 Total liabilities assumed 37,881 Total acquisition price $ - 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 and with RE/MAX affiliates. The following table summarizes the Company’s 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 Software 7,400 Trademarks 500 Non-compete agreement 1,200 Customer relationships 800 Other intangible assets 1,589 Other assets, net of current portion 336 Total assets acquired, excluding goodwill 13,179 Current portion of debt (606) Other current liabilities (557) Debt, net of current portion (805) Total liabilities assumed (1,968) Goodwill 15,039 Total purchase price $ 26,250 The Company finalized its accounting for the acquisition of booj during the year ended December 31, 2018. Booj 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 largest intangible assets 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 is attributable to expected synergies and projected long-term revenue growth for the RE/MAX network. All of the goodwill recognized is tax deductible. 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 the acquisition of the Marketing Funds had occurred January 1, 2018. 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. 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 such dates, nor of the results that may be obtained in the future.

(b) Other consists of customer relationships and a favorable market lease, both obtained in connection with the acquisition of booj. The favorable market lease was subsumed into “Operating lease right of use assets” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet upon adopting the new lease standard on January 1, 2019. See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for additional information. Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $5.2 million and $4.3 million, respectively.

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 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K . A summary of the Company’s liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 is as follows (in thousands): As of March 31, 2019 As of December 31, 2018 Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Liabilities Contingent consideration $ 5,000 $ — $ — $ 5,000 $ 5,070 $ — $ — $ 5,070 The Company is required to pay additional purchase consideration totaling eight percent of gross receipts collected by Motto each year (the “Revenue Share Year”) through September 30, 2026, with no limitation as to the maximum payout. The fair value of the contingent purchase consideration represents the forecasted discounted cash payments that the Company expects to pay. 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 revenues. The forecasted revenue growth assumption that is most sensitive is the assumed franchise sales count for which the forecast assumes between 50 and 80 franchises sold annually. This assumption is based on historical sales and an assumption of growth over time. A 10% reduction in the number of franchise sales would decrease the liability by $0.3 million. A 1% change to the discount rate applied to the forecast changes the liability by approximately $0.2 million. The Company measures this liability each reporting period and recognizes changes in fair value, if any, in “Selling, operating and administrative expenses” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The table below presents a reconciliation of this liability for the period from January 1, 2019 to March 31, 2019 (in thousands): Balance at January 1, 2019 $ 5,070 Fair value adjustments (70) Balance at March 31, 2019 $ 5,000 The following table summarizes the carrying value and fair value of the Senior Secured Credit Facility as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (in thousands): March 31, December 31, 2019 2018 Carrying Fair Value Carrying Fair Value Senior Secured Credit Facility $ 226,692 $ 227,979 $ 227,152 $ 221,673 |

Equity-Based Compensation The Company has outstanding restricted stock units (“RSUs”) which have either time-based or performance-based vesting criteria, as described in the 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Employee stock-based compensation expense, net of the amount capitalized in internally developed software, is as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 2018 Expense from Time-based RSUs (a) $ 2,052 $ 800 Expense from Performance-based RSUs (a) 1,101 468 Expense from bonus to be settled in shares (b) 898 — Equity-based compensation expense 4,051 1,268 Tax benefit from equity-based compensation (573) (179) Excess tax benefit from equity-based compensation 56 (72) Net compensation cost $ 3,534 $ 1,017 (a) Includes expense recognized in connection with the RSUs granted to booj employees and former owners at the time of acquisition. (b) In 2019, the Company revised its annual bonus plan so that a portion of the bonus for most employees will be settled in shares if the Company meets certain performance metrics. The share amounts to be issued will be determined based on the stock price at the time of vesting in early 2020. These amounts are recognized as “Accrued liabilities” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and are not included in “Additional paid-in capital” until shares are issued. Time-based Restricted Stock Units The following table summarizes equity-based compensation activity related to time-based RSUs as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2019: Time-based Weighted average Balance, January 1, 2019 298,610 $ 51.97 Granted 158,008 $ 38.63 Shares vested (including tax withholding) (a) (65,178) $ 46.90 Balance, March 31, 2019 391,440 $ 47.43 (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.

Leadership Changes and the New Service Model | 13. Leadership Changes and the New Service Model On February 9, 2018, the Company announced the retirement of the Company’s President. The Company entered into a Separation Agreement with the President, and pursuant to the terms of this agreement, the Company incurred a total cost of $1.8 million which was recorded to “Selling, operating and administrative expenses” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income during the quarter ended March 31, 2018, which is being paid over a 39-month period. In addition, the Company announced a new service model in early 2019 designed to deliver more value to franchisees, as well as support franchisee growth and professional development (the “New Service Model”). In connection with the New Service Model, the Company incurred approximately $2.1 million in total expenses related to severance and outplacement services provided to certain former employees of the Company, of which $0.7 million in expense was recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and the remainder was recognized in 2018. These expenses are included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. All of the above costs were attributable to the RE/MAX Franchising reportable segment. |

Commitments and Contingencies | 14. Commitments and Contingencies There have been no material changes to the Company’s commitments and contingencies as of the date of this report, outside of the ordinary course of business, since reporting in the Company’s 2018 Form 10-K. The Company has a contingent consideration arrangement to pay additional purchase consideration based on Motto’s future gross receipts, through September 30, 2026. See Note 10, Fair Value Measurements for additional information. 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 in accordance with the requirements of GAAP. 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. Management of the Company believes that no such litigation matters involving a reasonably possible chance of loss will, individually or in the aggregate, result in a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. |

Segment Information | |
Segment Information | 16. Segment Information The Company has two reportable segments: RE/MAX Franchising and the Marketing Funds. The category Other consists of the Motto Franchising and booj operating segments. Management evaluates the operating results of its segments based upon revenue and adjusted earnings before interest, the provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization and other non-cash and non-recurring cash charges or other items (“Adjusted EBITDA”). The Company’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies . The following table presents revenue from external customers by segment for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 2018 Continuing franchise fees $ 24,117 $ 24,802 Annual dues 8,854 8,696 Broker fees 8,588 9,188 Franchise sales and other revenue 8,265 8,908 Total RE/MAX Franchising 49,824 51,594 Marketing Funds fees 18,772 — Other 2,582 1,048 Total revenue $ 71,178 $ 52,642 The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA by segment to income before provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 2018 Adjusted EBITDA: RE/MAX Franchising $ 24,144 $ 24,689 Adjusted EBITDA: Other (1,154) (1,845) Adjusted EBITDA: Consolidated (a) 22,990 22,844 (Loss) gain on sale or disposition of assets and sublease, net (b) (379) 28 Equity-based compensation expense (4,051) (1,268) Acquisition-related expense (c) (72) (1,174) Special Committee investigation and remediation expense (d) — (2,086) Fair value adjustments to contingent consideration (e) 70 (135) Interest income 320 119 Interest expense (3,155) (2,724) Depreciation and amortization (5,558) (4,575) Income before provision for income taxes $ 10,165 $ 11,029 (a) As the revenue for the Marketing Funds are contractually restricted for the benefit of franchisees and the Company has an equal and offsetting amount of expenses such that there is no impact to overall profitability of the Company, there is no Adjusted EBITDA for the Marketing Funds. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for more information on the Company’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of the differences between the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA and net income, which is the most comparable GAAP measure for operating performance.

Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2018, 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 March 31, 2019 and the results of its operations and comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in its stockholder’s equity for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 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, 2018 (“2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K”). |

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. |
Segment Reporting | Segment Reporting In January 2019, the Company acquired all of the regional and pan-regional advertising fund entities previously owned by its founder and Chairman of the Board of Directors, David Liniger. All of these entities, except for the Western Canada region, were then merged into a new entity called RE/MAX Marketing Fund (with the Western Canada fund, collectively, the “Marketing Funds”). See Note 6, Acquisitions for more information. As a result of the acquisition of the Marketing Funds, the Company added the Marketing Funds as a reportable segment as of January 1, 2019. The Company operates under the following reportable segments: · RE/MAX Franchising – 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. · Marketing Funds – comprises the operations of the Company’s marketing campaigns designed to build and maintain brand awareness and support certain agent marketing technology. · Other – comprises the operations of Motto Franchising and booj, which, due to quantitative insignificance, do not meet the criteria of a reportable segment. |
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. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company generates most of its revenue from contracts with customers. The Company’s franchise agreements offer the following benefits to the franchisee: common use and promotion of RE/MAX and Motto trademarks; distinctive sales and promotional materials; access to technology; standardized supplies and other materials used in RE/MAX and Motto offices; and recommended procedures for operation of RE/MAX or Motto offices. The Company concluded that these benefits are highly related and all a part of one performance obligation, a license of symbolic intellectual property that is billed through a variety of fees including franchise sales, continuing franchise fees, marketing funds fees, broker fees, and annual dues, described below. The Company has other performance obligations associated with contracts with customers in other revenue for training, marketing and events, and legacy booj customers. The method used to measure progress is over the passage of time for most streams of revenue. The following is a description of principal activities from which the Company generates its revenue. Continuing Franchise Fees Revenue from continuing franchise fees consists of fixed contractual fees paid monthly by franchisees based on the number of RE/MAX agents in the respective franchised region or office and the number of Motto offices. This revenue is recognized in the month for which the fee is billed. This revenue is a usage-based royalty as it is dependent on the number of RE/MAX agents and number of Motto offices. Marketing Funds Fees Revenue from Marketing Funds 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 or the number of Motto offices. These revenues are obligated to be used for marketing campaigns to build brand awareness and to support agent marketing technology. Amounts received into the Marketing Funds are recognized as revenue in the month for which the fee is billed. This revenue is a usage-based royalty as it is dependent on the number of RE/MAX agents or number of Motto offices. All assets of the Marketing Funds are contractually restricted for the benefit of franchisees, and the Company recognizes an equal and offsetting liability on the Company’s balance sheet. Additionally, this results in recording an equal and offsetting amount of expenses against all revenues such that there is no impact to overall profitability of the Company from these revenues. Annual Dues Annual dues revenue consists of fixed contractual fees paid annually based on the number of RE/MAX agents. The Company defers the annual dues revenue when billed and recognizes the revenue ratably over the 12-month period to which it relates. Annual dues revenue is a usage-based royalty as it is dependent on the number of RE/MAX agents. The activity in the Company’s deferred revenue for annual dues is included in “Deferred revenue” and “Deferred revenue, net of current portion” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and consists of the following in aggregate (in thousands): Balance at New billings Revenue recognized (a) Balance at end Three months ended March 31, 2019 $ 15,877 $ 10,038 $ (8,854) $ 17,061 (a) Broker Fees Revenue from broker fees represents fees received from the Company’s RE/MAX franchised regions or franchise offices that are based on a percentage of RE/MAX agents’ gross commission income on home sale transactions. Revenue from broker fees is recognized as a sales-based royalty and recognized in the month when a home sale transaction occurs. Motto franchisees do not pay any fees based on the number or dollar value of loans brokered. Franchise Sales Franchise sales comprises revenue from the sale or renewal of franchises. A fee is charged upon a franchise sale or renewal. Those fees are deemed to be a part of the license of symbolic intellectual property and are recognized as revenue over the contractual term of the franchise agreement, which is typically five years for RE/MAX and seven years for Motto franchise agreements. The activity in the Company’s franchise sales deferred revenue accounts consists of the following (in thousands): Balance at New billings Revenue recognized (a) Balance at end Three months ended March 31, 2019 $ 27,560 $ 1,756 $ (2,449) $ 26,867 (a) Commissions Related to Franchise Sales Commissions paid on franchise sales are recognized as an asset and amortized over the contract life of the franchise agreement. The activity in the Company’s capitalized contract costs for commissions (which are included in “other current assets” and “other assets, net of current portion” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets) consist of the following (in thousands): Balance at Additions to contract Balance at end beginning of period Expense recognized cost for new activity of period Three months ended March 31, 2019 $ 3,748 $ (385) $ 369 $ 3,732 Other Revenue Other revenue is primarily revenue from preferred marketing arrangements and event-based revenue from training and other programs. Revenue from preferred marketing arrangements involves both flat fees paid in advance as well as revenue sharing, both of which are generally recognized over the period of the arrangement and are recorded net as the Company does not control the good or service provided. Event-based revenue is recognized when the event occurs and until then is included in “Deferred revenue”. Disaggregated Revenue In the following table, segment revenue is disaggregated by geographical area for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 2018 U.S. $ 41,735 $ 43,352 Canada 5,349 5,763 Global 2,740 2,479 Total RE/MAX Franchising 49,824 51,594 U.S. 16,672 — Canada 1,885 — Global 215 — Total Marketing Funds 18,772 — Other 2,582 1,048 Total $ 71,178 $ 52,642 In the following table, segment revenue is disaggregated by owned or independent regions in the U.S. and Canada for the RE/MAX Franchising segment for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands).

Because these costs are ultimately paid by the Marketing Funds, they do not impact the net income of RE/MAX Holdings as the Marketing Funds have no reported net income. Costs charged from RE/MAX Franchising to the Marketing Funds for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are as follows (in thousands): Technology development - operating $ 965 Technology development - capital 935 Marketing staff and administrative services 1,025 Total $ 2,925 Costs charged to the Marketing Funds for the three months ended March 31, 2018 are disclosed in Note 15, Related-Party Transactions . |
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“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 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. The standard is to be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period affected 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 amendments of ASU 2018-02 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , with several subsequent amendments, which requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating and finance leases on the consolidated balance sheets, with a few exceptions. ASU 2016-02 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2019 and replaced the existing lease guidance in U.S. GAAP when it became effective. The Company did not retrospectively recast prior periods presented and instead adjusted assets and liabilities on January 1, 2019. In addition, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allowed the Company to forgo reassessing (a) whether a contract contains a lease, (b) lease classification, and (c) whether capitalized costs associated with a lease are initial direct costs. The practical expedient was applied consistently to all the Company’s leases, including those for which the Company acts as the lessor. In addition, the Company elected the practical expedient relating to the combination of lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. The Company chose not to apply the hindsight practical expedient. The new lease guidance has been applied to all the Company’s leases as of January 1, 2019, which impacted how operating lease assets and liabilities were recorded within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, resulting in the recording of approximately $65.8 million of lease liabilities and approximately $55.6 million of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Deferred rent and sublease loss balances as of January 1, 2019 of approximately $9.3 million and approximately $2.4 million, respectively, and intangible assets of approximately $1.5 million were subsumed into the ROU asset at transition. Adoption of the new standard did not materially affect the Company’s consolidated net earnings and had no impact on cash flows. See Note 3, Leases, for more information. |
New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted | New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) , which eliminates certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements and requires new or modified disclosures. ASU 2018-13 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020. Certain changes are applied retrospectively to each period presented and others are to be applied either in the period of adoption or prospectively. The Company believes the amendments of ASU 2018-13 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. |
