Additional Financial Details 8 1 Excludes revenue from the Marketing Funds.

The SEC has adopted rules to regulate the use in filings with the SEC and in public disclosures of financial measures that ar e n ot in accordance with U.S. GAAP, such as Adjusted EBITDA and the ratios related thereto, Adjusted net income, Adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share (Adjusted EPS) and free cash flow. These measures are derived on the basis of methodolog ies other than in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA (consolidated net income or loss before depreciation and amortization, interest ex pense, interest income and the provision for income taxes, each of which is presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included earlier in this press release), adjusted for the impact of the following items tha t a re either non - cash or that the Company does not consider representative of its ongoing operating performance: loss or gain on sale or disposition of assets and sublease, impairment charge on leased assets, equity - based compensation expense, acquisitio n - related expense, gain on reduction in tax receivable agreement liability, expense or income related to changes in the estimated fair value measurement of contingent consideration, and other non - recurring items. Because Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin omit certain non - cash items and other non - recurring cash charges or other ite ms, the Company believes that each measure is less susceptible to variances that affect its operating performance resulting from depreciation, amortization and other non - cash and non - recurring cash charges or other items. The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA and the related Adjusted EBITDA margin because the Company believes they are useful as supplemental measures in evaluating the performance of its operating businesses and provides greater transparency into the Co mpa ny’s results of operations. The Company’s management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as factors in evaluating the performance of the business. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider these measures i n i solation or as a substitute for analyzing the Company’s results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are: • these measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company’s working capital needs; • these measures do not reflect the Company’s interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or princ ipa l payments on its debt; • these measures do not reflect the Company’s income tax expense or the cash requirements to pay its taxes; • these measures do not reflect the cash requirements to pay dividends to stockholders of the Company’s Class A common stock an d t ax and other cash distributions to its non - controlling unitholders; • these measures do not reflect the cash requirements pursuant to the tax receivable agreements; • although depreciation and amortization are non - cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often require repla cement 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 earni ngs per share; and • other companies may calculate these measures differently so similarly named measures may not be comparable. The Company's Adjusted EBITDA guidance does not include certain charges and costs. The adjustments to EBITDA in future period s a re generally expected to be similar to the kinds of charges and costs excluded from Adjusted EBITDA in prior quarters, such as gain on sale or disposition of assets and sublease and acquisition - related expense, among others. The exclusio n of these charges and costs in future periods will have a significant impact on the Company's Adjusted EBITDA. The Company is not able to provide a reconciliation of the Company's non - GAAP financial guidance to the corresponding U.S. GAAP meas ures without unreasonable effort because of the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of these future charges and costs. Non - GAAP Financial Measures 9

 

 

Adjusted net income is calculated as Net income attributable to RE/MAX Holdings, assuming the full exchange of all outstandin g n on - controlling interests for shares of Class A common stock as of the beginning of the period (and the related increase to the provision for income taxes after such exchange), plus primarily non - cash items and other items that management does not c onsider to be useful in assessing the Company’s operating performance (e.g., amortization of acquired intangible assets, gain on sale or disposition of assets and sub - lease, impairment charge on leased assets, acquisition - related expense and equity - based compensation expense). Adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share (Adjusted EPS) are calculated as Adjusted net income (as defined above) divided by pro forma (assuming the full exchange of all outstanding non - controlling interests) basic and diluted weighted average shares, as applicable. When used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, Adjusted net income and Adjusted EPS are supplemental measures of oper ati ng performance that management believes are useful measures to evaluate the Company’s performance relative to the performance of its competitors as well as performance period over period. By assuming the full exchange of all outsta ndi ng non - controlling interests, management believes these measures: • facilitate comparisons with other companies that do not have a low effective tax rate driven by a non - controlling interest on a pass - through entity; • facilitate period over period comparisons because they eliminate the effect of changes in Net income attributable to RE/MAX H old ings, Inc. driven by increases in its ownership of RMCO, LLC, which are unrelated to the Company’s operating performance; and • eliminate primarily non - cash and other items that management does not consider to be useful in assessing the Company’s operating performance. Free cash flow is calculated as cash flows from operations less capital expenditures and any changes in restricted cash of the Marketing Funds, all as reported under GAAP, and quantifies ho w much cash a company has to pursue opportunities that enhance shareholder value. The restricted cash of the Marketing Funds is limited in use for the benefit of franchisees and an y i mpact to free cash flow is removed. The Company believes free cash flow is useful to investors as a supplemental measure as it calculates the cash flow available for working capital needs, re - investment opportunities, potential independent r egion and strategic acquisitions, dividend payments or other strategic uses of cash. Free cash flow after tax and non - dividend distributions to RIHI is calculated as free cash flow less tax and other non - dividend distributions paid to RIHI (the non - controlling interest holder) to enable RIHI to satisfy its income tax obligations. Similar payments would be made by the Company directly to federal and state taxing authorities as a component of the Company’s consol ida ted provision for income taxes if a full exchange of non - controlling interests occurred in the future. As a result and given the significance of the Company’s ongoing tax and non - dividend distribution obligations to its non - controlling interes t, free cash flow after tax and non - dividend distributions, when used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, provides a meaningful view of cash flow available to the Company to pursue opportunities that enhance shareholder value. Unencumbered cash generated is calculated as free cash flow after tax and non - dividend distributions to RIHI less quarterly debt principal payments less annual excess cash flow payment on debt, as applicable. Given the significance of the Company’s excess cash flow payment on debt, when applicable, unencumbered cash generated, when used in conjunction with GAAP fin ancial measures, provides a meaningful view of the cash flow available to the Company to pursue opportunities that enhance shareholder value after considering its debt service obligations. Non - GAAP Financial Measures (continued) 10
