RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2025 Results

October 31, 2025 // Franchising.com // RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. (the "Company" or "RE/MAX Holdings") (NYSE: RMAX), parent company of REMAX, one of the world's leading franchisors of real estate brokerage services, and Motto Mortgage ("Motto"), the first and only national mortgage brokerage franchise brand in the U.S., today announced operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.

"Our total REMAX agent count reached another all-time high this quarter, fueled by steady global growth and the strongest third-quarter U.S. agent count results we've had in three years. Based on feedback from the membership, we believe our mix of new ideas, new products and new systems is enhancing our value proposition and generating great energy within the network. At the same time, our constant focus on operational excellence is driving profitability and margin performance exceeding expectations," said Erik Carlson, Chief Executive Officer of RE/MAX Holdings.

Continued Carlson: "In both the REMAX and Motto Mortgage networks, we're leaning heavily into innovation to deliver an elevated experience to affiliates and the consumers they serve. Many of our new offerings, like the recently launched AI-powered REMAX Marketing as a Service ("MaaS") platform, leverage the strength of our scale to create new competitive advantages. We also introduced two more optional economic models for REMAX – Appreciate and Ascend – that build on the success of Aspire and give U.S. franchisees even more flexibility in recruiting and retaining productive professionals. Lastly, we've rounded out our executive leadership team with two highly respected industry veterans: Vic Lombardo, President of Mortgage Services, and Tom Flanagan, Chief Digital Information Officer. Both are already contributing fresh strategies to help affiliates win more business, save time and become more profitable."

Revenue

RE/MAX Holdings generated revenue of $73.3 million in the third quarter of 2025, a decrease of $5.2 million, or 6.7%, compared to $78.5 million in the third quarter of 2024. Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds was $55.1 million in the third quarter of 2025, a decrease of $3.3 million, or 5.6%, versus the same period in 2024. The decrease in Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds was attributable to a decline in organic revenue of 5.4% and adverse foreign currency movements of 0.2%. The decline in organic revenue was driven by a decrease in U.S. agent count, and, to a lesser extent, incentives related to recently introduced modifications to the Company's standard fee models, including the Aspire program, partially offset by an increase in revenue from advertising revenue on the Company's flagship websites.

Recurring revenue streams, which consist of continuing franchise fees and annual dues, decreased $3.7 million, or 9.6%, compared to the third quarter of 2024 and accounted for 63.6% of Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds in the third quarter of 2025 compared to 66.4% in the prior-year period.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses were $54.9 million for the third quarter of 2025, a decrease of $8.3 million, or 13.2%, compared to $63.3 million in the third quarter of 2024. Third quarter 2025 total operating expenses decreased primarily due to lower Selling, operating, and administrative expenses, Settlement and impairment charges, Marketing Funds, and Depreciation and amortization expenses.

Selling, operating and administrative expenses were $32.5 million in the third quarter of 2025, a decrease of $3.5 million, or 9.7%, compared to the third quarter of 2024 and represented 58.9% of Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds, compared to 61.5% in the prior-year period. Third quarter 2025 Selling, operating and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to certain lower personnel expenses and a reduction in other events, partially due to their timing, offset by higher investments in technology and our flagship websites, and an increase in bad debt, legal expenses and the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability.

Net Income and GAAP EPS

Net income attributable to RE/MAX Holdings was $4.0 million for the third quarter of 2025 compared to net income of $1.0 million for the third quarter of 2024. Reported basic and diluted GAAP earnings per share were $0.20 and $0.19, respectively for the third quarter of 2025 compared to basic and diluted GAAP earnings per share of $0.05 each in the third quarter of 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS

Adjusted EBITDA was $25.8 million for the third quarter of 2025, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 5.6%, compared to the third quarter of 2024. Third quarter 2025 Adjusted EBITDA decreased primarily due to lower revenue from the declines in U.S. agent count, a decline in revenue as a result of recently implemented changes to the Company's existing fee models, including the Aspire program, increases in expenses related to higher investments in technology and our flagship websites, and an increase in bad debt and legal expenses, offset by certain lower personnel-related expenses and increased advertising revenue on our flagship websites. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 35.2% in the third quarter of 2025, compared to 34.8% in the third quarter of 2024.

Adjusted basic and diluted EPS were $0.38 and $0.37 respectively for the third quarter of 2025 compared to Adjusted basic and diluted EPS of $0.39 and $0.38, respectively for the third quarter of 2024. The ownership structure used to calculate Adjusted basic and diluted EPS for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, assumes RE/MAX Holdings owned 100% of RMCO, LLC ("RMCO"). The weighted average ownership RE/MAX Holdings had in RMCO was 61.5% for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Balance Sheet

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $107.5 million, an increase of $10.9 million from December 31, 2024. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $437.9 million of outstanding debt, net of an unamortized debt discount and issuance costs, compared to $440.8 million as of December 31, 2024.

Share Repurchases and Retirement

As previously disclosed, in January 2022 the Company's Board of Directors authorized a common stock repurchase program of up to $100 million. During the three months ending September 30, 2025, the Company did not repurchase any shares. As of September 30, 2025, $62.5 million remained available under the share repurchase program.

Outlook

The Company's third quarter and full year 2025 Outlook assumes no further currency movements, acquisitions, or divestitures.

For the fourth quarter of 2025, RE/MAX Holdings expects:

Agent count to increase 0.0% to 1.5% over fourth quarter 2024;
Revenue in a range of $69.5 million to $73.5 million (including revenue from the Marketing Funds in a range of $17.0 million to $19.0 million); and
Adjusted EBITDA in a range of $19.0 million to $23.0 million.

For the full year 2025, the Company now expects:

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 Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds, Adjusted EBITDA and the ratios related thereto, Adjusted net income (loss), Adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share (Adjusted EPS) and adjusted free cash flow. These measures are derived based on methodologies other than in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds is calculated directly from our consolidated financial statements as Total revenue less Marketing Funds fees.

The Company 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 unaudited consolidated financial statements included earlier in this press release), adjusted for the impact of the following items that are 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, settlement and impairment charges, equity-based compensation expense, acquisition-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, restructuring charges and other non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue.

Because Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin omit certain non-cash items and other non-recurring cash charges or other items, 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 Company'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 in isolation 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 principal 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 and tax and other cash distributions to its non-controlling unitholders;
these measures do not reflect the cash requirements pursuant to the tax receivable agreements;
these measures do not reflect the cash requirements for share repurchases;
these measures do not reflect the cash requirements for the settlements of certain industry class-action lawsuits and other legal settlements;
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.

The Company's Adjusted EBITDA guidance does not include certain charges and costs. The adjustments to EBITDA in future periods are generally expected to be similar to the kinds of charges and costs excluded from Adjusted EBITDA in prior quarters, such as gain or loss on sale or disposition of assets and sublease, settlement and impairment charges, equity-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expense, gains or losses from changes in the tax receivable agreement liability, expense or income related to changes in the fair value measurement of contingent consideration, restructuring charges and other non-recurring items. The exclusion 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 measures without unreasonable effort because of the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of these future charges and costs.

Adjusted net income (loss) is calculated as Net income (loss) attributable to RE/MAX Holdings, assuming the full exchange of all outstanding non-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 consider 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, non-cash impairment charges, acquisition-related expense, restructuring charges and equity-based compensation expense).

Adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share (Adjusted EPS) are calculated as Adjusted net income (loss) (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 (loss) and Adjusted EPS are supplemental measures of operating 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 outstanding 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 Holdings, 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.

Adjusted 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 how 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 any impact to adjusted free cash flow is removed. The Company believes adjusted 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 Region and strategic acquisitions, dividend payments or other strategic uses of cash.

Adjusted free cash flow after tax and non-dividend distributions to RIHI, Inc. ("RIHI"), an entity majority owned and controlled by David Liniger, our Chairman and Co-Founder, and by Gail Liniger, our Vice Chair Emerita and Co-Founder, is calculated as adjusted 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 consolidated 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 interest, adjusted 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 adjusted 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 financial 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.
