1. Business and Organization

RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) and its consolidated subsidiaries, including RMCO, LLC (“RMCO”), are referred to hereinafter as the “Company.”

The Company is one of the world’s leading franchisors in the real estate industry, franchising real estate brokerages globally under the RE/MAX brand (“RE/MAX”) and mortgage brokerages within the United States (“U.S.”) under the Motto Mortgage brand (“Motto”).

RE/MAX and Motto are 100% franchised—the Company does not own any of the brokerages that operate under these brands. On July 21, 2021, the Company acquired the operating companies of the North America regions of RE/MAX INTEGRA (“INTEGRA”) converting INTEGRA’s formerly Independent Regions into Company-Owned Regions.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2021, which was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, and the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto 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 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, 2022 and the results of its operations and comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in its stockholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. 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, 2021 (“2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K”). Please refer to that document for a fuller discussion of all significant accounting policies.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the accompanying 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

The Company operates under the following 4 operating segments: Real Estate, Mortgage, Marketing Funds and Other. Due to quantitative insignificance, the “Other” operating segment is comprised of operations which do not meet the criteria of a reportable segment.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates most of its revenue from contracts with customers. The Company’s major streams of revenue are:

●

Continuing franchise fees, which are fixed contractual fees paid monthly by RE/MAX or Motto franchisees or Independent Region sub-franchisors based on the number of RE/MAX agents or Motto franchisees based on the number of open offices.

●

Annual dues, which are fees charged directly to RE/MAX agents.

Table of Contents

●

Broker fees, which are fees on real estate commissions when a RE/MAX agent assists a consumer with buying or selling a home.

●

Marketing Funds fees, which are fixed contractual fees paid monthly by franchisees based on the number of RE/MAX agents or Motto franchisees based on the number of offices.

●

Franchise sales and other revenue, which consists of fees from initial sales of RE/MAX and Motto franchises, renewals of RE/MAX franchises and master franchise fees, as well as data services subscription revenue, preferred marketing arrangements, technology products and subscription revenue, event-based revenue from education and other programs and mortgage loan processing revenue.

Deferred Revenue and Commissions Related to Franchise Sales

Deferred revenue is primarily driven by Franchise sales and Annual dues, as discussed above, and is included in “Deferred revenue” and “Deferred revenue, net of current portion” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Other deferred revenue is primarily related to event-based revenue. The activity consists of the following (in thousands):


	Balance at				Revenue		Balance at
	January 1, 2022		New billings		recognized ^(a)		June 30, 2022
Franchise sales	$	26,043	$	3,884	$	(4,321)	$	25,606

	$	46,107	$	34,590	$	(35,697)	$	45,000

(a)	Revenue recognized related to the beginning balance for Franchise sales and Annual dues were $4.1 million and $11.3 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

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):

Services Provided to the Marketing Funds by Real Estate

Real Estate charges the Marketing Funds for various services it performs. These services primarily comprise (a) building and maintaining agent marketing technology, including customer relationship management tools, the www.remax.com website, agent, office and team websites, and mobile apps, (b) dedicated employees focused on marketing campaigns, and (c) various administrative services including customer support of technology, accounting and legal. Because these costs are ultimately paid by the Marketing Funds, they do not impact the net income (loss) of Holdings as the Marketing Funds have no reported net income (loss).

Accounts and Notes Receivable

As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company had allowances against accounts and notes receivable of $9.1 million and $9.6 million, respectively.

Property and Equipment

As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company had accumulated depreciation of $10.6 million and $9.4 million, respectively.

Leases

The Company leases corporate offices, a distribution center, billboards and certain equipment. As all franchisees are independently owned and operated; there are 0 leases recognized for any offices used by the Company’s franchisees. All the Company’s material leases are classified as operating leases. The Company acts as the lessor for sublease agreements on its corporate headquarters, consisting solely of operating leases.

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company subleased a portion of its corporate headquarters. As a result, the Company performed an impairment test on the portion subleased. Based on a comparison of undiscounted cash flows to the right of use (“ROU”) asset, the Company determined that the asset was impaired, driven largely by the difference between the existing lease rate on the Company’s corporate headquarters and the sublease rates received. This resulted in an impairment charge of $3.7 million, which reflects the excess of the ROU asset carrying value over its fair value.

During the second quarter of 2022, the Company terminated its booj office lease, which is owned by an entity controlled by former employees of the Company. As a result, the Company wrote off an ROU asset of $2.7 million and derecognized $1.5 million of lease liability associated with the terminated lease. The Company also recognized a loss on termination of $2.5 million, which included a lease termination payment of $1.3 million.

Foreign Currency Derivatives

The Company is exposed to foreign currency transaction gains and losses related to certain foreign currency denominated asset and liability positions, with the Canadian dollar representing the most significant exposure primarily from an intercompany Canadian loan between RMCO and the new Canadian entity for INTEGRA. The Company uses short duration foreign currency forward contracts, generally with maturities ranging from a few days to a few months, to minimize its exposures related to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. None of these contracts are designated as accounting hedges as the underlying currency positions are revalued through “Foreign currency transaction gains (losses)” along with the related derivative contracts.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had an aggregate U.S. dollar equivalent of $57.5 million notional amount of Canadian dollar forward contracts to hedge these exposures.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which contains temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the guidance in U.S. GAAP on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). The new guidance is effective upon issuance and may be adopted on any date on or after March 12, 2020. The relief is temporary and only available until December 31, 2022, when the reference rate replacement activity is expected to have completed. The Company believes the amendments of ASU 2020-04 will not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as the Company does not currently engage in interest rate hedging of its LIBOR based debt, nor does it believe it has any material contracts tied to LIBOR other than its Senior Secured Credit Facility, as discussed in Note 8, Debt. The Company does not expect any material adverse consequences from this transition.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires entities to recognize and measure contract assets (commissions related to franchise sales) and contract liabilities (deferred revenue) acquired in a business combination in accordance with ASC 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The update will generally result in an entity recognizing contract assets and contract liabilities at amounts consistent with those recorded by the acquiree immediately before the acquisition date rather than at fair value. The new standard is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The impact to future acquisitions could be material depending on the significance of future acquisitions. There would be no impact to cash flows.

3. Non-controlling Interest

Holdings is the sole managing member of RMCO and operates and controls all the business affairs of RMCO. The ownership of the common units in RMCO is summarized as follows:


	June 30, 2022			December 31, 2021
	Shares	Ownership %		Shares	Ownership %
Non-controlling interest ownership of common units in RMCO	12,559,600	40.1	%	12,559,600	40.0	%
Holdings outstanding Class A common stock (equal to Holdings common units in RMCO)	18,753,835	59.9	%	18,806,194	60.0	%
Total common units in RMCO	31,313,435	100.0	%	31,365,794	100.0	%

Net income (loss)	$	7,280		$	5,940		$	13,220		$	6,424		$	5,699		$	12,123

(a)	The weighted average ownership percentage of RMCO differs from the allocation of income (loss) before provision for income taxes between Holdings and the non-controlling interest due to certain relatively insignificant items recorded at Holdings.

(b)

The provision for income taxes attributable to Holdings is primarily comprised of U.S. federal and state income taxes on its proportionate share of the flow-through income from RMCO. It also includes Holdings’ share of taxes directly incurred by RMCO and its subsidiaries, including taxes in certain foreign jurisdictions.

(c)	Beginning in July 2021 as a result of the acquisition of INTEGRA, RMCO now also owns 2 corporate subsidiaries, which unlike RMCO are not pass-through entities. These entities are taxed at the corporate level on 100% of their income.

(d)

The provision for income taxes attributable to the non-controlling interest represents its share of taxes incurred by RMCO and its subsidiaries (both foreign taxes and taxes from non-flow through subsidiaries). Otherwise, because RMCO is a flow-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 limited liability company operating 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):

5. Acquisitions

RE/MAX INTEGRA North America Regions Acquisition

On July 21, 2021, the Company acquired the operating companies of the North America regions of INTEGRA whose territories cover 5 Canadian provinces (New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, and Prince Edward Island) and 9 U.S. states (Connecticut, Indiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Wisconsin) for cash consideration of approximately $235.0 million. The Company acquired these companies in order to convert these formerly Independent Regions into Company-Owned Regions, advance its ability to scale, deliver value to its affiliates and recapture the value differential of more than 19,000 agents (approximately 12,000 in Canada and 7,000 in the U.S.). The Company funded the acquisition by refinancing its Senior Secured Credit Facility (See Note 8, Debt) and using cash from operations.

The Company allocated $40.9 million of the purchase price to a loss on the pre-existing master franchise agreements with INTEGRA which were effectively settled with the acquisition. The loss represents the fair value of the difference between the historical contractual royalty rates paid by INTEGRA and the current market rate. The loss is recorded in “Settlement and impairment charges” in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) in the 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price (net of settlement loss) to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the acquisition (in thousands):


Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	14,098

Total consideration	$	235,000

(a)	The Company expects to amortize the acquired Franchise agreements over a weighted average useful life of approximately 13 years and the non-compete agreements included in Other intangible assets, net over a useful life of 5 years using the straight-line method.

(b)	The Company expects 50% of the goodwill in Canada but NaN in the U.S. to be deductible for tax purposes.

The Company finalized its accounting for the acquisition of INTEGRA during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

On July 21, 2021, the Company amended and restated its Senior Secured Credit Facility to fund the acquisition of INTEGRA and refinance its existing facility. The revised facility provides for a seven-year $460.0 million term loan facility which matures on July 21, 2028, and a $50.0 million revolving loan facility which must be repaid on July 21, 2026. The Senior Secured Credit Facility requires RE/MAX, LLC to repay term loans at $1.2 million per quarter.

Borrowings under the term loans and revolving loans accrue interest, at the Company’s option on (a) LIBOR, provided LIBOR shall be no less than 0.50% plus an applicable margin of 2.50% and, provided further that such rate shall be adjusted for reserve requirements for eurocurrency liabilities, if any (the “LIBOR Rate”) or (b) the greatest of (i) the prime rate as quoted by the Wall Street Journal, (ii) the NYFRB Rate (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility) plus

Table of Contents

0.50% and (iii) the one-month Eurodollar Rate plus 1.00%, (such greatest rate, the “ABR”) plus, in each case, an applicable margin of 1.50%. As of June 30, 2022, the interest rate on the term loan facility was 4.2%.

A commitment fee of 0.5% per annum (subject to reductions) accrues on the amount of unutilized revolving line of credit. As of the date of this report, 0 amounts were drawn on the revolving line of credit.

9. 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 is 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 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

A summary of the Company’s liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis is as follows (in thousands):


	As of June 30, 2022								As of December 31, 2021
	Fair Value		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Fair Value		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

(a)	Recorded as a component of “Accrued liabilities” and “Other liabilities, net of current portion” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company is required to pay additional purchase consideration totaling 8% 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 annual payment is required to be made within 120 days of the end of each Revenue Share Year. 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 80-160 franchises sold annually. This assumption is based on historical sales and an assumption of growth over time. A 10% change in the number of franchise sales would increase or 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 these liabilities 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 the contingent consideration (in thousands):


	Total
Balance at January 1, 2022	$	5,780
Fair value adjustments		1,995
Cash payments		(120)
Balance at June 30, 2022	$	7,655

10. Income Taxes

The “Provision for income taxes” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income is based on an estimate of the Company’s annualized effective income tax rate.

Uncertain Tax Positions

Uncertain tax position liabilities represent the aggregate tax effect of differences between the tax return positions and the amounts otherwise recognized in the consolidated financial statements and are recognized in “Income taxes payable” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Interest and penalties are accrued on the uncertain tax positions and included in the “Provision for income taxes” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. While the Company believes the liabilities recognized for uncertain tax positions are adequate to cover reasonably expected tax risks, there can be no assurance that an issue raised by a tax authority will be resolved at a cost that does not exceed the liability recognized.

During 2021, in connection with the INTEGRA acquisition, the Company assumed an uncertain tax position related to certain U.S. tax matters and recorded a largely offsetting related indemnification asset. See Note 5, Acquisitions for further details.

During 2021, the Company settled uncertain tax positions related to certain foreign tax matters that were accrued in prior years. The Company also recognized additional uncertain tax positions related to the INTEGRA acquisition.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending uncertain tax position amounts, excluding interest and penalties is as follows:


	As of June 30,
	2022		2021
Balance, January 1	$	1,587	$	5,300
Increases related to prior period tax positions		0		96
Decrease related to prior year tax positions		0		(815)
Increase related to tax positions from acquired companies		309		0
Settlements		0		(3,776)
Foreign currency transaction (gains) losses		0		380
Balance, June 30	$	1,896	$	1,185

A portion of the Company’s uncertain tax positions have a reasonable possibility of being settled within the next 12 months.

11. Equity-Based Compensation

Equity-based compensation expense under the RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “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,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
Expense from time-based awards^(a)	$	3,844	$	3,744	$	7,692	$	13,565
Expense from performance-based awards^(b)		188		871		278		1,667
Expense from bonus to be settled in shares^(c)		503		1,638		2,202		3,075
Equity-based compensation expense	$	4,535	$	6,253	$	10,172	$	18,307

(a)	During the first quarter of 2021, the Company recognized $5.5 million of expense upon acceleration of certain grants that were issued to 2 employees of an acquired company who departed during the first quarter of 2021.

(b)

Expense recognized for performance-based awards is re-assessed each quarter based on expectations of achievement against the performance conditions. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company had a significant amount of forfeitures related to performance-based awards issued to the Company’s former CEO which, subsequent to his departure, will no longer vest.

Table of Contents

(c)	A portion of the annual corporate bonus earned is to be settled in shares. These amounts are recognized as “Accrued liabilities” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are not included in “Additional paid-in capital” until the shares are issued.

Time-based Restricted Stock

The following table summarizes equity-based compensation activity related to time-based restricted stock units and restricted stock awards:


	Shares	Weighted average grant date fair value per share
Balance, January 1, 2022	765,813	$	36.84

12. Commitments and Contingencies

A number of putative class action complaints are pending against the National Association of Realtors (“NAR”), Realogy Holdings Corp., HomeServices of America, Inc., RE/MAX, LLC and Keller Williams Realty, Inc. The first was filed on March 6, 2019, by plaintiff Christopher Moehrl in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the “Moehrl Action”). Similar actions have been filed in various federal courts. The complaints make substantially similar allegations and seek substantially similar relief. For convenience, all of these lawsuits are collectively referred to as the “Moehrl-related suits.” In the Moehrl Action, the plaintiffs allege that a NAR rule requires brokers to make a blanket, non-negotiable offer of buyer broker compensation when listing a property, resulting in inflated costs to sellers in violation of federal antitrust law. They further allege that certain defendants use their agreements with franchisees to require adherence to the NAR rule in violation of federal antitrust law. Amended complaints added allegations regarding buyer steering and non-disclosure of buyer-broker compensation to the buyer. While similar to the Moehrl Action, the Moehrl-related suits also allege: state antitrust violations; unjust enrichment; state consumer protection statute violations; harm to home buyers rather than sellers; violations of the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act; and claims against a multiple listing service (MLS) defendant rather than NAR. In one of the Moehrl-related suits, filed by plaintiffs Scott and Rhonda Burnett and others in the Western District of Missouri, the court on April 22, 2022 granted plaintiffs’ motion for class certification and set a trial date for February 2023. Among other requested relief, plaintiffs seek damages against the defendants and injunctive relief. The Company intends to vigorously defend against all claims. The Company may become involved in additional litigation or other legal proceedings concerning the same or similar claims. We are unable to predict whether resolution of these matters would have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

On April 9, 2021, a putative class action claim was filed in the Federal Court of Canada against the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (“TRREB”), The Canadian Real Estate Association (“CREA”), RE/MAX Ontario-Atlantic Canada Inc. (“RE/MAX OA”), which was acquired by the Company in July 2021 (see Note 6, Acquisitions, for additional information), Century 21 Canada Limited Partnership, Royal Lepage Real Estate Services Ltd., and many other real estate companies by the putative representative plaintiff, Mark Sunderland (the “Plaintiff”). The Plaintiff alleges that the Defendants and their co-conspirators conspired, agreed or arranged with each other to fix, maintain, increase, control, raise, or stabilize the rate of real estate buyers’ brokerages’ and salespersons’ commissions in respect of the purchase and sale of properties listed on TRREB’s multiple listing service system (the “Toronto MLS”); that the Defendants and their co-conspirators acted in furtherance of their conspiracy, agreement or arrangement to fix, maintain, increase, control, raise, or stabilize the rate of real estate buyers’ brokerages’ and salespersons’ commissions in respect of the purchase and sale of properties listed on the Toronto MLS; and violation of Part VI of the Competition Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. C-34 (“Competition Act”). On February 24, 2022, plaintiff filed a Fresh as Amended Statement of Claim. With respect RE/MAX OA, the amended claim alleges Franchisor Defendants aided and abetted their respective franchisee brokerages and their salespeople in violation of the section 45(1) of the Competition Act. Among other requested relief, Plaintiff seeks damages against the defendants and injunctive relief. RE/MAX OA denies the allegations in the claim and intends to vigorously defend the action.

13. Segment Information

The Company operates under the following 4 operating segments: Real Estate, Mortgage, Marketing Funds and Other. Mortgage does not meet the quantitative significance test; however, management has chosen to report results for the segment as it believes it will be a key driver of future success for Holdings. 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. Except for the adjustments identified below in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA, the accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

14. Subsequent Events

On July 5, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with InsideRE, LLC (“InsideRE”), the developers of the kvCORE platform, to provide technology to RE/MAX affiliates. The kvCORE platform will replace certain functionality currently provided by the booj platform. As a result, the Company expects to reduce its overall workforce by approximately 17% and the Company expects to incur a pretax cash charge for one-time termination benefits, which consist of severance and related costs, between approximately $5.8 million and $6.8 million in the third quarter of 2022. Additionally, on July 7, 2022, the Company issued a press release providing an update on its strategic initiatives centered on reinvigorating U.S. agent count growth, accelerating the expansion of its growing mortgage business and evaluating options regarding the ongoing operations of Gadberry Group.

Item 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements (“financial statements”) and accompanying notes included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (“2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K”).

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These statements are often identified by the use of words such as “believe,” “intend,” “expect,” “estimate,” “plan,” “outlook,” “project,” “anticipate,” “may,” “will,” “would” and other similar words and expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends that are not statements of historical matters. Forward-looking statements include statements related to: agent count; franchise sales; our business model; cost structure; balance sheet; revenue; operating expenses; financial outlook; return of capital, including dividends and our share repurchase program; non-GAAP financial measures; uncertain tax positions; housing and mortgage market condition and trends; economic and demographic trends; competition; the anticipated benefits our technology initiatives; including our relationship with InsideRE, LLC (“InsideRE”), developers of the kvCORE platform; our anticipated sources and uses of liquidity including for potential acquisitions; capital expenditures; future litigation expenses relating to the Moehrl-related suits; our strategic and operating plans and business models including our efforts to accelerate the growth of our businesses; strategic options regarding the ongoing operations of Gadberry Group; the expected reduction of our workforce; strategic investments in the Mortgage business; and the expected impact of acquisitions.

Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and will not necessarily accurately indicate the times at which such performance or results may be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time those statements are made and/or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materiality from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified herein, and those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors,” set forth in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in Part I, Item 1A of our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. Except as required by law, we do not intend, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements.

The results of operations discussed in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” are those of RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) and its consolidated subsidiaries, including RMCO, LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries (“RMCO”), collectively, the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us.”

Business Overview

We are one of the world’s leading franchisors in the real estate industry. We franchise real estate brokerages globally under the RE/MAX brand (“RE/MAX”) and mortgage brokerages in the U.S. under the Motto Mortgage brand (“Motto”). We also sell ancillary products and services, primarily technology, to our franchise networks and, in certain instances, we sell those offerings outside our franchise networks. We organize our business based on the services we provide in Real Estate, Mortgage and our collective franchise marketing operations, known as the Marketing Funds. RE/MAX and Motto are 100% franchised—we do not own any of the brokerages that operate under these brands. We focus on enabling our networks’ success by providing powerful technology, quality education and training, and valuable marketing to build the strength of the RE/MAX and Motto brands. We support our franchisees in growing their brokerages, although they fund the cost of developing their brokerages. As a result, we maintain a low fixed-cost structure which, combined with our recurring fee-based model, enables us to capitalize on the economic benefits of the franchising model, yielding high margins and significant cash flow.

Financial and Operational Highlights – Three Months Ended June 30, 2022

(Compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, unless otherwise noted)

●

Total revenue of $92.2 million, an increase of 19.3% from the prior year.

●

Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds ^(a) increased to $69.3 million or 17.0%, which was comprised of 1.7% organic growth, 15.9% growth attributable to acquisitions, partially offset by 0.6% from foreign currency movements^(b).

●

Net income (loss) attributable to RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. increased to $5.8 million

●

Adjusted EBITDA of $35.1 million and Adjusted EBITDA margin of 38.1% compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $30.7 million and Adjusted EBITDA margin of 39.7% from the prior year.

●

Total agent count increased by 2.7% to 143,939 agents.

●

U.S. and Canada combined agent count increased 0.2% to 85,679 agents.

●

Total open Motto Mortgage offices increased 22.0% to 200 offices.

(a)

Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds is a non-GAAP measure of financial performance that differs from the U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds is calculated directly from our consolidated financial statements as Total revenue less Marketing Funds fees.

(b)

We define organic revenue growth as revenue growth from continuing operations excluding Marketing Funds, revenue attributable to acquisitions, and foreign currency movements. We define revenue from acquisitions as the incremental revenue generated from the date of an acquisition to its first anniversary (excluding Marketing Funds revenue related to acquisitions where applicable).

Our strong second quarter results demonstrate the strength and resilience of our 100% franchise model, particularly amid shifting market conditions. Rising interest rates and affordability challenges are dampening buyer demand and the number of existing homes sales while also slowing the rate of home price increases in both the U.S. and Canada.

Shortly after the end of the second quarter, we formally announced a series of strategic growth opportunities designed to increase U.S. agent count and accelerate the expansion of our growing Mortgage business. We entered into an agreement with InsideRE, developers of the kvCORE platform, to provide technology to RE/MAX affiliates, replacing certain functionality currently provided by the booj platform. In connection with these initiatives, we expect to reduce our overall workforce by approximately 120 employees, approximately 17% of our total headcount, by the end of 2022. This reduction does not include personnel we expect to hire as a result of the strategic investments in the Mortgage business. As a result of this reduction, we expect to incur a pretax cash charge for one-time termination benefits, which consist of severance and related costs, between approximately $5.8 million and $6.8 million in the third quarter of 2022. We also announced we are evaluating options regarding the ongoing operations of our legacy Gadberry Group business. We believe these initiatives position us for long-term profitable growth and may help mitigate adverse impacts of housing or broader economic downturns. We believe our 100%-franchise model, two industry-leading franchise brands, strong balance sheet and cash-generating ability provide operational and strategic flexibility, especially in a shifting housing market.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

Revenue

A summary of the components of our revenue is as follows (in thousands except percentages):

Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds:

Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds	$	69,263	$	59,204	$	10,059	17.0	%

Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds increased to $69.3 million or 17.0%, which was comprised of 1.7% organic growth and 15.9% growth from acquisitions, partially offset by (0.6)% from foreign currency movements. Organic growth increased primarily due to Motto growth, Gadberry Group data services subscription revenue, increased event-based revenue and incremental revenue from fewer agent recruiting initiatives, partially offset by lower Broker fees. Revenue growth from acquisitions was attributable to revenue from the RE/MAX INTEGRA North American regions acquisition (“INTEGRA”) completed in July 2021. Consolidated revenue increased due to the aforementioned factors plus growth in Marketing Funds fees primarily from the INTEGRA acquisition.

Continuing Franchise Fees

Revenue from Continuing franchise fees increased primarily due to contributions from the acquisition of INTEGRA, Motto growth, incremental revenue from fewer agent recruiting initiatives and RE/MAX growth in Canada and Globally, partially offset by a decrease in U.S. agent count.

Broker Fees

Revenue from Broker fees increased primarily from the acquisition of INTEGRA and rising home prices, partially offset by lower average transactions per agent as compared to the prior year.

Marketing Funds Fees and Marketing Funds Expenses

Revenue from Marketing Funds fees increased primarily from the acquisition of INTEGRA, fewer agent recruiting initiatives in the current year, and RE/MAX growth in Canada, partially offset by a decrease in U.S. agent count. We recognize an equal and offsetting amount of expenses to revenue such that there is no impact to our overall profitability.

Franchise Sales and Other Revenue

Franchise sales and other revenue increased primarily due to an increase in Gadberry data services subscription revenue and event-based revenue.

Operating Expenses

A summary of the components of our operating expenses is as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

n/m - not meaningful

Total Selling, operating and administrative expenses increased as follows:

●

Personnel costs increased primarily due to increased headcount, including from acquisitions and salary and benefit increases. Those increases were mostly offset by lower equity-based compensation expense and a decrease in the expected corporate bonus from the prior year.

●

Professional fees decreased primarily due to lower costs associated with acquiring and integrating new companies, partially offset by an increase in legal fees. See section titled “Legal Proceedings,” set forth in Part II, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We expect to incur an additional $2.5 million to $3.5 million in legal expenses related to the Moehrl-related suits during the remainder of this year because of this ongoing litigation.

●

Other selling, operating and administrative expenses increased primarily due to estimated changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities, higher travel and events expenses and increased investments in technology.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased primarily due to new amortization related to our acquisitions.

Settlement and Impairment Charges

See the discussion of the Results of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 for a discussion of the settlement and impairment charges.

n/m - not meaningful

Other expenses, net increased primarily due to an increase in interest expense because of the refinance of and increase to our Senior Secured Credit Facility (see Note 8, Debt, for more information) in the prior year and rising interest rates. Foreign currency transaction gains (losses) are primarily the result of transactions denominated in the Canadian Dollar.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate increased to 20.2% from 6.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, primarily driven by uncertain tax positions recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2021, which were nonrecurring in nature and resulted in an unusually low effective income tax rate during the period. Our effective income tax rate depends on many factors, including a rate benefit attributable to the fact that the portion of RMCO’s earnings attributable to the non-controlling interests are not subject to corporate-level taxes because RMCO is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and therefore is treated as a “flow-through entity,” as well as annual changes in state and foreign income tax rates. See Note 3, Non-controlling Interest to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further details on the allocation of income taxes between Holdings and the non-controlling interest and see Note 10, Income Taxes for additional information.

Adjusted EBITDA

See “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for our definition of Adjusted EBITDA and for further discussion of our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA as well as a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), which is the most comparable GAAP measure for operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA was $35.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $4.4 million from the comparable prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA increased primarily due to contributions from the INTEGRA acquisition, partially offset by investments in technology and our Mortgage segment.

Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds	$	137,416	$	113,354	$	24,062	21.2	%

Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds increased to $137.4 million or 21.2%, which was comprised of 6.4% organic growth and 15.0% growth from acquisitions, offset by (0.2)% from foreign currency movements. Organic growth increased primarily due to increased event-based revenue, primarily due to higher attendance at our annual RE/MAX agent convention, Motto growth, incremental revenue from fewer agent recruiting initiatives, a price increase in RE/MAX Continuing franchise fees, and increased Broker fees due to rising home prices. Revenue growth from acquisitions was attributable to revenue from the INTEGRA acquisition completed in July 2021. Consolidated revenue increased due to the aforementioned factors plus growth in Marketing Funds fees primarily from the INTEGRA acquisition.

Continuing Franchise Fees

Revenue from Continuing franchise fees increased primarily due to contributions from the acquisition of INTEGRA, Motto growth, incremental revenue from fewer agent recruiting initiatives, a price increase in RE/MAX and RE/MAX growth in Canada and Globally, partially offset by a decrease in U.S. agent count.

Broker Fees

Revenue from Broker fees increased primarily from the acquisition of INTEGRA and rising home prices, partially offset by lower average transactions per agent compared to the prior year.

Marketing Funds Fees

Revenue from Marketing Funds fees increased primarily from the acquisition of INTEGRA, fewer agent recruiting initiatives in the current year and RE/MAX growth in Canada, partially offset by a decrease in U.S. agent count. We recognize an equal and offsetting amount of expenses to revenue such that there is no impact to our overall profitability.

Franchise Sales and Other Revenue

Franchise sales and other revenue increased primarily due to higher attendance at our annual RE/MAX agent convention and an increase in our Gadberry data services subscription revenue.

Settlement and Impairment Charges

Impairment Charge - Leased Assets

During the first quarter of 2022, we subleased a portion of our corporate headquarters. As a result, we performed an impairment test on the portion subleased and recognized an impairment charge of $3.7 million. See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for additional information about our leases.

Loss on lease termination

During the second quarter of 2022, we terminated our booj office lease, which is owned by an entity controlled by our former employees. As a result, we wrote off a right of use (“ROU”) asset of $2.7 million and derecognized $1.5 million of lease liability associated with the terminated lease. We also recognized a loss on termination of $2.6 million, of which included a lease termination payment of $1.3 million.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate increased to 22.4% from 5.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, primarily driven by the settlement of uncertain tax positions recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2021, which were nonrecurring in nature and resulted in an unusually low effective income tax rate during that period. Our effective income tax rate depends on many factors, including a rate benefit attributable to the fact that the portion of RMCO’s earnings attributable to the non-controlling interests are not subject to corporate-level taxes because RMCO is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and therefore is treated as a “flow-through entity,” as well as annual changes in state and foreign income tax rates. See Note 3, Non-controlling Interest to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further details on the allocation of income taxes between Holdings and the non-controlling interest and see Note 10, Income Taxes for additional information.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA was $63.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $9.9 million from the comparable prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA increased primarily due to contributions from the INTEGRA acquisition, partially offset by investments in technology and our Mortgage segment.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has adopted rules to regulate the use in filings with the SEC and in public disclosures of financial measures that are not in accordance with U.S. GAAP, such as Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds and Adjusted EBITDA and the ratios related thereto. These measures are derived on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA (consolidated net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and the provision for income taxes, each of which is presented in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q), adjusted for the impact of the following items that are either non-cash or that we do not consider representative of our ongoing operating performance: gain or loss on sale or disposition of assets, settlement and impairment charges, equity-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expense, gain or losses from changes in the tax receivable agreement liability, expense or income related to changes in the estimated fair value measurement of contingent consideration and other non-recurring items.

As Adjusted EBITDA omits certain non-cash items and other non-recurring cash charges or other items, we believe that it is less susceptible to variances that affect our operating performance resulting from depreciation, amortization and other non-cash and non-recurring cash charges or other items. We present Adjusted EBITDA, and the related Adjusted EBITDA margin, because we believe they are useful as supplemental measures in evaluating the performance of our operating businesses and provides greater transparency into our results of operations. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as factors in evaluating the performance of our business.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider these measures either in isolation or as a substitute for analyzing our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

●

these measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

●

these measures do not reflect our interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;

●

these measures do not reflect our income tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes;

●

these measures do not reflect the cash requirements to pay dividends to stockholders of our Class A common stock and tax and other cash distributions to our non-controlling unitholders;

●

these measures do not reflect the cash requirements pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreements (“TRAs”);

●

these measures do not reflect the cash requirements for share repurchases;

●

although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often require replacement in the future, and these measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

●

although equity-based compensation is a non-cash charge, the issuance of equity-based awards may have a dilutive impact on earnings per share; and

●

other companies may calculate these measures differently, so similarly named measures may not be comparable.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview of Factors Affecting Our Liquidity

Our liquidity position is affected by the growth of our franchise networks and conditions in the real estate market. In this regard, our short-term liquidity position from time to time has been, and will continue to be, affected by several factors including agents in the RE/MAX network, particularly in Company-Owned Regions and open offices in the Motto network. Our cash flows are primarily related to the timing of:

(i)

cash receipt of revenues;

(ii)

payment of selling, operating and administrative expenses;

(iii)

investments in technology and the growth of our mortgage business;

(iv)

cash consideration for acquisitions and acquisition-related expenses;

(v)

principal payments and related interest payments on our Senior Secured Credit Facility;

(vi)

dividend payments to stockholders of our Class A common stock;

(vii)

distributions and other payments to non-controlling unitholders pursuant to the terms of RMCO’s limited liability company operating agreement (“the RMCO, LLC Agreement”);

(viii)

corporate tax payments paid by the Company;

(ix)

payments to the TRA parties pursuant to the TRAs; and

(x)

share repurchases.

We have satisfied these needs primarily through our existing cash balances, cash generated by our operations and funds available under our Senior Secured Credit Facility. We may also utilize our Senior Secured Credit Facility, and we may pursue other sources of capital that may include other forms of external financing, such as additional financing in the public capital markets, in order to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility as needs arise.

Table of Contents

Financing Resources

RMCO and RE/MAX, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of RMCO, have a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and various lenders party thereto (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”). On July 21, 2021, we amended and restated our Senior Secured Credit Facility to fund the acquisition of INTEGRA and refinance our existing facility. The revised facility provides for a seven-year $460.0 million term loan facility and a five-year $50.0 million revolving loan facility. The revised facility also provides for incremental facilities under which RE/MAX, LLC may request to add one or more tranches of term facilities or increase any then existing credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of up to $100 million (or a higher amount subject to the terms and conditions of the Senior Secured Credit Facility), subject to lender participation.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility requires RE/MAX, LLC to repay term loans at $1.2 million per quarter. We are also required to repay the term loans and reduce revolving commitments with (i) 100.0% of proceeds of any incurrence of additional debt not permitted by the Senior Secured Credit Facility, (ii) 100.0% of proceeds of asset sales and 100.0% of amounts recovered under insurance policies, subject to certain exceptions and a reinvestment right and (iii) 50% of Excess Cash Flow (or “ECF” as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility) at the end of the applicable fiscal year if RE/MAX, LLC’s Total Leverage Ratio (or “TLR” as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility) is in excess of 4.25:1. If the TLR as of the last day of such fiscal year is equal to or less than 4.25:1 but above 3.75:1, the repayment percentage is 25% of ECF and if the TLR as of the last day of such fiscal year is less than 3.75:1, no repayment from ECF is required.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility is guaranteed by RMCO and is secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of RE/MAX, LLC and other operating companies.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility provides for customary restrictions on, among other things, additional indebtedness, liens, dispositions of property, dividends, transactions with affiliates and fundamental changes such as mergers, consolidations and liquidations. With certain exceptions, any default under any of our other agreements evidencing indebtedness in the amount of $15.0 million or more constitutes an event of default under the Senior Secured Credit Facility.

Borrowings under the term loans and revolving loans accrue interest, at our option on (a) LIBOR, provided LIBOR shall be no less than 0.50% plus an applicable margin of 2.50% and, provided further that such rate shall be adjusted for reserve requirements for eurocurrency liabilities, if any (the “LIBOR Rate”) or (b) the greatest of (i) the prime rate as quoted by the Wall Street Journal, (ii) the NYFRB Rate (as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility) plus 0.50% and (iii) the one-month Eurodollar Rate plus 1.00%, (such greatest rate, the “ABR”) plus, in each case, an applicable margin of 1.50%. As of June 30, 2022, the interest rate on the term loan facility was 4.2%.

A commitment fee of 0.5% per annum (subject to reductions) accrues on the amount of unutilized revolving line of credit.

As of June 30, 2022, we had $450.2 million of term loans outstanding, net of an unamortized discount and issuance costs, and no revolving loans outstanding under our Senior Secured Credit Facility.

Sources and Uses of Cash

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $118.1 million and $126.3 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents, of which approximately $21.7 million and $8.9 million, respectively, were denominated in foreign currencies.

Net change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	(4,590)	$	450

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities increased primarily as a result of:

●

an increase in Adjusted EBITDA of $9.9 million;

●

an increase due to lower tax payments in the current year of $6.7 million;

●

a decrease due to higher payments of certain employee related liabilities;

●

a decrease due to higher interest payments of $3.3 million, due to the increase of our Senior Secured Credit Facility in July 2021 and higher interest rates in the current year; and

●

timing differences on various operating assets and liabilities.

Investing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the change in cash (used in) provided by investing activities was primarily due to lower spend on our corporate headquarters refresh, partially offset by higher investments in technology.

Financing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the change in cash provided by (used in) financing activities was primarily due to the allocation of capital to our share repurchase program that began in the first quarter of 2022 and an increase in principal payments on our Senior Secured Credit Facility.

Capital Allocation Priorities

Liquidity

Our objective is to maintain a strong liquidity position. We have existing cash balances, cash flows from operating activities, access to our revolving facility and incremental facilities under our Senior Secured Credit Facility available to support the needs of our business. As needs arise, we may seek additional financing in the public capital markets.

Acquisitions

As part of our growth strategy, we may pursue acquisitions of Independent Regions in the U.S. and Canada as well as additional acquisitions or investments in complementary businesses, services and technologies that would provide access to new markets, revenue streams, or otherwise complement or accelerate the growth of our existing operations. We may fund any such growth with various sources of capital including existing cash balances and cash flow from operations, as well as proceeds from debt financings including under existing credit facilities or new arrangements raised in the public capital markets.

Capital Expenditures

The total aggregate amount for purchases of property and equipment and capitalization of developed software was $6.1 million and $7.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, these amounts primarily relate to investments in technology and for the six months ended June 30, 2021, these amounts primarily relate to spend on our corporate headquarters refresh and investments in technology. Total capital expenditures for 2022 are expected to be between $10.0 million and $13.0 million.

Table of Contents

Return of Capital

Return of capital to shareholders is one of our primary capital allocation priorities. Our Board of Directors declared and we paid quarterly cash dividends of $0.23 per share on all outstanding shares of Class A common stock during the first quarter of 2022. On August 2, 2022, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.23 per share on all outstanding shares of Class A common stock, which is payable on August 30, 2022 to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 16, 2022.

During the first quarter of 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a common stock repurchase program of up to $100 million. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to purchase any amount of common stock and does not have an expiration date. The share repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, 487,196 shares of our Class A common stock were repurchased and retired for $11.9 million, excluding commissions, at a weighted average cost of $24.36 per share. As of June 30, 2022, $88.1 million remained available under the share repurchase authorization.

Future capital allocation decision with respect to return of capital either in the form of additional future dividends, and if declared, the amount of any such future dividend, or in the form of share repurchases, will be subject to our actual future earnings and capital requirements and any amounts authorized will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors.

Critical Accounting Judgments and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our Critical Accounting Judgments and Estimates disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Judgments and Estimates” in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for which there were no material changes, included:

●

Motto Goodwill

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks

We have operations within the U.S., Canada, and globally, and we are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks primarily include interest rate, foreign exchange and credit risks, as well as risks relating to changes in the general economic conditions in the countries where we conduct business. We use derivative instruments to mitigate the impact of certain of our market risk exposures. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

Credit Risk

We are exposed to credit risk related to receivables from franchisees. We perform quarterly reviews of credit exposure above an established threshold for each franchisee and are in regular communication with those franchisees about their balance. For significant delinquencies, we will terminate the franchise. Bad debt expense is less than 1% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Interest Rate Risk

We are subject to interest rate risk in connection with borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facility which bear interest at variable rates. On June 30, 2022, $455.4 million in term loans were outstanding under our Senior Secured Credit Facility. We currently do not engage in any interest rate hedging activity, but given our variable rate borrowings, we monitor interest rates and if appropriate, may engage in hedging activity prospectively. The interest rate on our Senior Secured Credit Facility is currently based on LIBOR, subject to a floor of 0.50%, plus an applicable margin of 2.50%. As of June 30, 2022, the interest rate was 4.2%. If LIBOR rises such that our rate is above the floor, then each hypothetical 0.25% increase would result in additional annual interest expense of $1.1 million. To mitigate a portion of this risk, we invest our cash balances in short-term investments that earn interest at variable rates.

Currency Risk

We have a network of global franchisees in over 110 countries and territories. Fluctuations in exchange rates of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies can result, and have resulted, in fluctuations in (a) revenue and operating income (loss) due to a portion of our revenue being denominated in foreign currencies and (b) foreign exchange transaction gains and losses due primarily to cash, accounts receivable and liability balances denominated in foreign currencies, with the Canadian dollar representing the most significant exposure. To mitigate a portion of this risk related to (b), we enter into short-term foreign currency contracts, such as forwards, to minimize exposures related to foreign currency. See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for more information. In addition, we actively convert cash balances into U.S. dollars to mitigate currency risk on cash positions.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, a hypothetical 5% strengthening/weakening in the value of the U.S. dollar compared to the Canadian dollar would have resulted in a decrease/increase to operating income (loss) of approximately $0.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively related to currency risk (a) above.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that

evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that as of June 30, 2022 our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are involved in litigation, claims and other proceedings relating to the conduct of our business, and the disclosures set forth in Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies relating to certain legal matters is incorporated herein by reference. Such litigation and other proceedings may include, but are not limited to, actions relating to intellectual property, commercial arrangements, franchising arrangements, brokerage disputes, vicarious liability based upon conduct of individuals or entities outside of our control including franchisees and independent agents, and employment law claims. Litigation and other disputes are inherently unpredictable and subject to substantial uncertainties and unfavorable resolutions could occur. Often these cases raise complex factual and legal issues, which are subject to risks and uncertainties and which could require significant time and resources from management. Although we do not believe any currently pending litigation will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operations, there are inherent uncertainties in litigation and other claims and regulatory proceedings and such pending matters could result in unexpected expenses and liabilities and might materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operations, including our reputation.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

For a discussion of our potential risks and uncertainties, please see “Risk Factors” in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the risk factors as disclosed in our 2021 Annual Report.
