RE/MAX Holdings Reports Third Quarter 2015 Results
DENVER, Nov. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
Third Quarter 2015 Highlights
(Compared to the third quarter 2014 unless otherwise noted)
RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. (the "Company" or "RE/MAX") (NYSE: RMAX), one of the world's leading franchisors of real estate brokerage services, today announced operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015.
"Our global network of highly productive agents continues to grow, gaining nearly 5,500 agents in the first nine months of the year, our best agent growth on an absolute and percentage basis in the last ten years," stated Dave Liniger, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of RE/MAX. "We continue to see positive indicators in our industry and our business even as we enter the slower part of the year for the housing market. We are raising our full-year agent growth outlook to 5.6% to 5.8% over 2014 due to our solid franchise sales results, our continued ability to attract agents to the RE/MAX network and the sustained growth of the housing market."
Third Quarter 2015 Operating Results
Agent Count
Total agent count grew by 5,844 agents to 103,491 agents or 6.0% compared to the third quarter ended September 30, 2014. In the United States ("U.S."), agent count increased by 2,598 agents to 59,779 agents or 4.5%. Agent count in U.S. Company-owned and Independent regions grew by 5.0% and 3.8%, respectively. In Canada, agent count increased by 399 agents to 19,506 agents or 2.1% compared to the prior year quarter end. Outside the U.S. and Canada, agent count increased by 2,847 agents to 24,206 agents or 13.3%. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company grew total agent count by 5,481 agents or 5.6% compared to total agent count growth of 4,419 agents or 4.7% during the same period in 2014.
Revenue
RE/MAX generated total revenue of $45.1 million for the third quarter of 2015, a 2.0% increase compared to $44.2 million in the third quarter of 2014, primarily driven by increased revenue from continuing franchise fees and broker fees, partially offset by lower brokerage revenue.
Revenue from continuing franchise fees was $18.9 million, up $0.4 million or 2.1% compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to agent count growth. Revenue growth was partially offset by a decrease in aggregate fee revenue per agent partly due to fee waivers for certain new agents associated with the Company's Momentum agent development and recruiting program that began in the fourth quarter of 2014 and the divestiture of the Caribbean and Central America regions on December 31, 2014. The strength of the U.S. dollar compared to the Canadian dollar also negatively impacted revenue from continuing franchise fees during the quarter.
Revenue from annual dues was $8.0 million, up $0.3 million or 4.1% compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to an increase in total agent count of 5,844 from the prior year quarter, of which 2,997 agents were in the U.S. and Canada.
Revenue from broker fees was $9.3 million, up $1.0 million or 12.6% compared to the prior year quarter. The increase was driven by agent count growth and increased transaction volume due in part to better market conditions.
Franchise sales and other franchise revenue was $5.6 million, up $0.2 million or 2.8% compared to the prior year quarter driven by an increase in office franchise sales in the U.S., offset by a decrease in revenue from global franchise sales.
Brokerage revenue was $3.3 million, a decrease of $1.0 million or 23.9% from the prior year quarter largely attributable to the sale of six previously owned brokerage offices to an existing RE/MAX franchisee in April 2015.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses were $24.5 million for the third quarter of 2015, an increase of $0.2 million or 0.7% compared to the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to higher selling, operating and administrative expenses which were $20.7 million, up $0.2 million or 0.8% from the prior year quarter largely due to higher personnel related costs and commissions paid in conjunction with franchise sales. Selling, operating and administrative expenses were 45.9% of revenue in the third quarter compared to 46.5% in the prior year quarter.
Net Income
Reported net income was $15.2 million for the third quarter of 2015, an increase of $1.1 million or 8.1% compared to the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to higher operating income and lower foreign currency transaction losses.
Adjusted net income2 was $13.9 million for the third quarter of 2015, an increase of $1.0 million or 7.9% compared to the prior year quarter. Adjusted basic and diluted EPS were both $0.46 for the third quarter of 2015, compared to $0.44 and $0.43 for the prior year quarter, respectively. The strength of the U.S. dollar compared to the Canadian dollar negatively impacted both Adjusted basic and diluted EPS by $0.03 for the third quarter of 2015.
Net income attributable to RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. was $4.8 million for the third quarter of 2015. This amount excludes net income attributable to the non-controlling interest. Reported basic and diluted EPS attributable to RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. were both $0.39. Refer to Table 1 for the share counts used in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS attributable to RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP").
The ownership structure used to calculate Adjusted basic and diluted EPS for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 assumes RE/MAX owning 100% of RMCO, LLC ("RMCO"). The weighted average ownership RE/MAX had of RMCO was 41.02% for the three months ended September 30, 2015. Refer to Table 6 for a reconciliation of Adjusted net income to net income and the share counts used in the Adjusted basic and diluted EPS calculations.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA was $25.1 million for the third quarter of 2015, up $1.7 million or 7.5% from the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 55.7% for the third quarter of 2015 compared to 52.8% in the prior year quarter, driven by higher operating income and lower foreign currency transaction losses. The strength of the U.S. dollar compared to the Canadian dollar negatively impacted Adjusted EBITDA margin by approximately $1.3 million or 139 basis points for the third quarter of 2015. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income is included in Table 5.
Balance Sheet
As of September 30, 2015, the Company had a cash balance of $95.4 million, a decrease of $11.8 million from December 31, 2014. The cash balance reflects the aggregate payment of approximately $45 million made in April 2015 for a special dividend of $1.50 per share. The Company had $202.4 million of term loans outstanding, net of unamortized discount as of September 30, 2015, down from $211.7 million, net as of December 31, 2014.
Dividend
The Company's Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.125 per share, which is payable on November 27, 2015 to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 13, 2015.
Outlook
Based on the Company's performance through the first nine months of this year and the sale of six of its owned brokerage offices in April of this year, RE/MAX is providing the following outlook for its fourth quarter and its full-year 2015:
Fourth Quarter 2015 Outlook:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The SEC has adopted rules to regulate the use in filings with the SEC and in public disclosures of financial measures that are not in accordance with U.S. GAAP, such as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income and the ratios related thereto. These measures are derived on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
RE/MAX defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA (consolidated net income before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and the provision for income taxes, each of which is presented in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this press release), adjusted for the impact of the following items that the Company does not consider representative of the Company's ongoing operating performance: loss or gain on sale or disposition of assets and sublease, loss on early extinguishment of debt, non-cash straight-line rent expense, non-recurring severance and other related expenses and acquisition integration and professional fees expense. During the third quarter of 2014, the Company revised its definition of Adjusted EBITDA to no longer adjust for recurring equity-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA in prior periods has been revised to reflect this change for consistency of presentation. During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company revised its definition of Adjusted EBITDA to adjust for non-recurring severance and other related expenses. Prior to such time, the Company had not incurred any of these types of expenses.
RE/MAX defines Adjusted net income as net income, excluding the impact of amortization expense related to the Company's franchise agreements, the GAAP provision for income taxes, loss or gain on sale or disposition of assets and sublease, loss on early extinguishment of debt, non-cash straight-line rent expense, non-recurring severance and other related expenses, and acquisition integration and professional fees expense, but reflects a provision for income taxes as if all outstanding common units of RMCO were exchanged for or converted into shares of the Company's Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. Assuming the full exchange and conversion, all income of RMCO is treated as if it were allocated to RE/MAX, and the adjusted provision for income taxes represents an estimate of income tax expense at an effective rate reflecting assumed federal, state, and local income tax rates. The estimated effective tax rate was 38%.
Because Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income omit certain non-cash items and other non-recurring cash charges or other items, the Company feels that these metrics are less susceptible to variances that affect the Company's operating performance resulting from depreciation, amortization and other non-cash and non-recurring cash charges or other items and is more reflective of other factors that affect the Company's operating performance. The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income because it believes the metrics are useful as supplemental measures in evaluating the performance of the Company's operating businesses and provide greater transparency into the Company's results of operations.

Certain items that impact these measures have not yet occurred, are out of the Company's control or cannot be reasonably predicted, and as a result, reconciliation of these non-GAAP guidance measures to U.S. GAAP is not available without unreasonable effort.
