2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2025, 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 adjustments and eliminations, consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the Company for the reported periods have been included. 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, 2025 (“2025 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 reportable segments: Real Estate, Mortgage, and Marketing Funds. The Company presents all other business activities and operating segments which, due to quantitative insignificance, do not
meet the quantitative significance tests for reportable segments under Other.
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates most of its revenue from contracts with customers. The Company’s major streams of revenue are:
Deferred Revenue and Capitalized Contract Costs

Leases
The Company leases corporate offices, a distribution center, billboards and certain equipment. As all franchisees are independently owned and operated, there are no leases recognized for any offices used by the Company’s franchisees. All of 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.
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 Canadian entity for RE/MAX INTEGRA (“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
11
designated as accounting hedges as the underlying currency positions are revalued through “Foreign currency transaction gains (losses)” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) along with the related derivative contracts. Maturities of the foreign currency forward contracts are included within “Net cash provided by operating activities” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, with any non-cash portion included as a component of “Changes in operating assets and liabilities - Other assets and liabilities” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, the Company recognized a net gain of $0.6 million and net gain of $0.1 million, respectively.
The Company has a short-term $44.0 million Canadian dollar forward contract that matures in the second quarter of 2026 that net settles in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing spot rates at maturity.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
None.
New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-06, Intangibles (Topic 350) – Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (“ASU 2025-06”), which clarifies and modernizes the accounting for costs related to internal-use software. The amendments remove all references to project stages in ASC 350-40 and clarify the threshold entities should apply to begin capitalizing costs. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments can be applied using a prospective, retrospective, or modified transition approach. The Company believes the amendments of ASU 2025-06 will not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or required disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement (Topic 220) – Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires enhanced disclosures around disaggregation of certain income statement expense lines into specified categories. The new standard applies to public business entities and is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company believes the amendments of ASU 2024-03 will not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and will include all required disclosures upon adoption.
Subsequent Events
Arrangement Agreement and Plan of Merger with The Real Brokerage Inc.
On April 26, 2026, RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings” or the “Company”) entered into an Arrangement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) to be acquired by The Real Brokerage Inc. (“Real”). Pursuant to the agreement, a new holding company, Real REMAX Group, will be formed to combine Real and Holdings into a single publicly traded company (the “Merger”) expected to be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker symbol “REAX.”
Under the terms of the agreement, each outstanding share of RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. Class A common stock will be converted into the right to receive either (i) 5.15 shares of Real REMAX Group common stock, to be adjusted to reflect a 10-for-1 share consolidation prior to transaction close, or (ii) $13.80 in cash, subject to proration such that the aggregate cash consideration is between a minimum of $60 million and a maximum of $80 million. Upon closing, ownership of the combined company is expected to be approximately 59% held by former Real shareholders and 41% held by former RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. shareholders, assuming the midpoint of the cash election.
The transaction is intended to qualify as a tax‑free exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, regulatory approvals, and approval by the shareholders of both companies.
In connection with the transaction, Real has obtained committed financing in an aggregate amount of up to $550 million, led by Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. and Apollo Global Funding, LLC. The financing is expected to be used to fund the cash portion of the merger consideration and transaction costs and to refinance the Company’s existing indebtedness at closing. The financing commitments are subject to customary terms and conditions and are not expected to be a condition to the completion of the transaction. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has incurred $2.8 million in merger related transaction costs, primarily related to legal expenses.
12
The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including covenants relating to the conduct of the Company's business during the period between execution and closing, and non-solicitation obligations subject to customary exceptions for superior proposals and other matters. Consummation of the Mergers is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including among others approval by the Company's stockholders and Real's shareholders, regulatory approvals (including expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act), consummation of the RIHI Merger (defined below). The Merger Agreement may be terminated by either party under certain circumstances, including if the Mergers have not closed within nine months (subject to two automatic extensions of 45 days each under specified circumstances), or upon the failure to receive required stockholder or shareholder approvals. Upon termination under certain specified circumstances, a termination fee may be payable by either the Company or Real.
RIHI Merger and Collapse of UP-C Structure
Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into a separate Agreement and Plan of Merger with RIHI, Inc. (“RIHI”) and certain merger subsidiaries of the Company (the "RIHI Merger Agreement") providing for the merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company with and into RIHI and then the merger of the resulting company with and into another merger subsidiary of the Company (collectively, the “RIHI Merger”). RIHI is the holder of the single outstanding share of the Company's Class B common stock and of the common units of RMCO not held by the Company. Pursuant to the RIHI Merger, the Company will acquire RIHI, as the holder of such share and such common units, effectively collapsing the Company’s UP-C structure. Following the effectiveness of the RIHI Merger the share of the Company’s Class B common stock held by RIHI will be surrendered and canceled for no consideration. Consummation of the RIHI Merger is a condition to closing the Mergers.
Amendment to Tax Receivable Agreement
Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company and RIHI entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “RIHI TRA Amendment”) to the Tax Receivable Agreement, dated October 7, 2013, between the Company and RIHI (the "RIHI TRA"), pursuant to which the RIHI TRA will terminate upon the closing of the Mergers or any other Qualifying Change of Control (as defined in the RIHI TRA Amendment), and no Early Termination Payment, Tax Benefit Payment (each as defined in the RIHI TRA Amendment) or other payment will be made to RIHI thereunder. If a Qualifying Change of Control does not occur within eighteen months of the date of the RIHI TRA Amendment, the RIHI TRA Amendment will be void and of no further effect.
Support Agreements
In connection with the Merger Agreement, holders of shares of Company common stock representing approximately 38% of the Company's outstanding voting power entered into a support agreement pursuant to which they agreed to vote their shares in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement, subject to customary terms and conditions.
For additional information on the Merger, see the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 28, 2026.

Add dilutive effect of the following:
Restricted stock (a)
Weighted average shares of Class A common stock outstanding, diluted
Net income (loss) attributable to RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. per share of Class A common stock
Outstanding Class B common stock does not share in the earnings of Holdings and is therefore not a participating security. Accordingly, basic and diluted net income (loss) per share of Class B common stock has not been presented.
Dividends
In the fourth quarter of 2023, in light of the litigation settlement (See Note 11, Commitments and Contingencies) and ongoing challenging housing and mortgage market conditions, the Company’s Board of Directors suspended the Company’s quarterly dividend, and no dividends have been paid since.
Share Repurchases and Retirement
The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized a common stock repurchase program of up to $100 million. The share repurchase program has no expiration date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, the Company did not repurchase any shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. As of March 31, 2026, $62.5 million remained available under the share repurchase program.

On July 21, 2021, the Company amended and restated its credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and various lenders party thereto (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”) to refinance its previous 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 was amended on September 30, 2025, to extend the maturity from July 21, 2026, to April 21, 2028, if any amounts are drawn.
The Senior Secured Credit Facility requires the Company to repay term loans at approximately $1.2 million per quarter. The Company is also required to repay the term loans and reduce revolving commitments with (i) 100% of proceeds of any incurrence of additional debt not permitted by the Senior Secured Credit Facility, (ii) 100% of proceeds of asset sales
17
and 100% 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 Company’s 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 Company’s TLR as of the last day of such fiscal year is less than 3.75:1, no repayment from ECF is required. As of December 31, 2025, no ECF payment was required because the Company’s TLR was below 3.75:1.
The Senior Secured Credit Facility provides for customary restrictions on, among other things, additional indebtedness, liens, dispositions of property, dividends, share repurchases, other distributions, transactions with affiliates and fundamental changes such as mergers, consolidations, and liquidations. In general, the Company can make unlimited restricted payments – including dividends and share repurchases – if the Company’s TLR does not exceed 3.50:1 (both before and after giving effect to such payments). If the Company’s TLR exceeds 3.50:1, the Company will be generally limited in the amount of restricted payments it can make up to the greater of $50 million or 50% of RE/MAX, LLC’s consolidated EBITDA on a trailing twelve-month basis (unless the Company relies on other restricted payment baskets available under the Senior Secured Credit Facility).
The Company calculates TLR quarterly and it is based on RE/MAX, LLC’s consolidated indebtedness and consolidated EBITDA on a trailing twelve-month basis, both defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility. For the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2026, RE/MAX, LLC’s consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility, was $90.9 million and as of March 31, 2026, the Company’s TLR was 3.63:1.
With certain exceptions, any default under any of the Company’s 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 the Company’s option on (a) the adjusted forward-looking term rate based on the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Adjusted Term SOFR”), provided the Adjusted Term SOFR shall be no less than 0.50% plus an applicable margin of 2.50% 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 Adjusted Term SOFR plus 1.00%, (such greatest rate, the “ABR”), provided the ABR shall be no less than 1.50%, plus in each case, an applicable margin of 1.50%. As of March 31, 2026, the interest rate on the term loan facility was 6.3%.
If any amounts are drawn on the $50 million revolving line of credit as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, the terms of the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facility require the Company’s TLR to not exceed 4.50:1 as of the last day of four consecutive fiscal quarters. As a result, as long as the Company’s TLR remains below 4.50:1, access to borrowings under the revolving line of credit will not be restricted. A commitment fee of 0.5% per annum (subject to reductions) accrues on the amount of unutilized revolving line of credit regardless of the Company’s TLR. As of the date of this report, no amounts were drawn on the revolving line of credit.
8. 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 2025 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):
Fair Value
Level 1
Level 2
Level 3
Liabilities - Contingent consideration (a)
600
1,275
18
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. The annual payment is due 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 approximately 20 franchises sold in the final Revenue Share Year. This assumption is based on historical sales and an assumption of growth over time. A 10% reduction in the number of franchise sales and a 1% change to the discount rate applied to the forecast would not change the liability materially. 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 (Loss).

9. Income Taxes
The “Provision for income taxes” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) is based on an estimate of the Company’s annualized effective income tax rate and discrete items recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Valuation Allowance
The Company evaluated the need for a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets and determined that in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), the objective negative evidence of a three-year cumulative pre-tax net loss, primarily due to the settlement of certain Nationwide Claims, as defined in Note 11, Commitments and Contingencies, prevented the use of the Company’s subjective positive evidence of expected future profitability in evaluating the realizability of its net deferred tax assets. As a result, a full valuation allowance was established against the Company’s deferred tax assets. As of March 31, 2026, the Company expects to remain in a three-year cumulative loss and has recorded a decrease in the valuation allowance of $0.5 million against its U.S. net deferred tax assets.
Tax Receivable Agreements (“TRAs”)
As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s total liability under the TRAs for the tax year ended December 31, 2025, is $0.2 million. This liability is expected to be settled in the fourth quarter of 2026.

11. Commitments and Contingencies
U.S. Antitrust Litigation and Settlement
Beginning in March 2019, multiple putative class action complaints were filed against the National Association of Realtors (“NAR”), or in one case a multiple listing service (“MLS”) defendant rather than NAR, RE/MAX, LLC, and other real estate companies, alleging that certain NAR rules (or MLS rules) violated federal and state antitrust laws by inflating broker commissions. The complaints make substantially similar allegations and seek substantially similar relief. Plaintiffs generally allege that NAR’s rules requiring listing brokers to make a blanket, non-negotiable offer of buyer broker compensation results in increased costs to sellers and violates antitrust law. They further allege that certain defendants use their agreements with franchisees to require adherence to the NAR rule also in violation of antitrust law. Amended complaints added allegations regarding buyer steering and non-disclosure of buyer-broker compensation. For convenience, all of these lawsuits are collectively referred to as the “Moehrl-related antitrust litigations.” Numerous other copycat lawsuits to the Moehrl-related antitrust litigations have also been filed. Refer to Item 8, Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further details.
In 2023, RE/MAX, LLC entered into a settlement agreement (the “U.S. Settlement Agreement”), agreeing to make certain changes to its business practices and to pay a total settlement amount of $55.0 million (“U.S. Settlement Amount”) to resolve all claims set forth in the Moehrl Action and Burnett action (another Moehrl-related antitrust litigation claiming similar allegations), as well as all similar claims on a nationwide basis against RE/MAX, LLC (collectively, the “Nationwide Claims”). The settlement releases RE/MAX, LLC and the Company, their subsidiaries and affiliates, and REMAX sub-franchisors, franchisees and their sales associates in the United States from the Nationwide Claims. The Company recorded the U.S. Settlement Amount to “Settlement and impairment charges” within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) with a corresponding liability recorded to “Accrued liabilities” within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Until the conclusion of the appeals process, the U.S. Settlement Amount that has been paid into the U.S. Settlement Fund is included in “Restricted cash” within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. On November 20, 2023, the court granted preliminary approval of the settlement agreement and on May 9, 2024, the court granted final approval. Appeals were subsequently filed, including by one of the Batton plaintiffs (see additional disclosure below related to the Batton Action). The settlement agreement will become effective if the order approving the settlement agreement is affirmed at the conclusion of the appeals process.
On January 25, 2021, a similar action to the Moehrl-related antitrust litigations was filed in the Northern District of Illinois (the “Batton Action”) alleging violations of federal antitrust law and unjust enrichment. The complaint makes substantially similar allegations and seeks similar relief as the Moehrl-related antitrust litigations but alleges harm to homebuyers rather than home sellers. On February 20, 2024, the court dismissed plaintiffs’ claim seeking injunctive relief for violations of the Sherman Act and dismissed certain state law claims in Tennessee and Kansas. The only claims that remain are state law claims. On September 22, 2025, plaintiffs filed a motion seeking to certify a class. On November 13, 2025, the court struck the plaintiffs’ motion to certify a class without prejudice and ordered the class certification briefing stayed until the Burnett appeal is resolved.
On March 19, 2026, RE/MAX, LLC entered into a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement (the “Batton Settlement”) to resolve all remaining claims against RE/MAX, LLC in the Batton Action that were not previously released by the U.S. Settlement Agreement (described above). The Batton Settlement releases RE/MAX, LLC, the Company, their subsidiaries and affiliates, and REMAX sub-franchisors, franchisees, and their sales associates in the United States from the claims. Preliminary approval was granted on March 31, 2026. The Batton Settlement remains subject to final court approval and will become effective upon such final approval (subject to any appeals). Under the Batton Settlement, RE/MAX, LLC has agreed to pay a total settlement amount of $8.5 million (the “Batton Settlement Amount”) into a qualified settlement escrow fund as follows: $1.5 million within fourteen days following preliminary court approval of the Batton Settlement, which was paid on April 22, 2026, and the remaining $7.0 million following final court approval of the Batton Settlement, including any appeals. The Company recorded the settlement amount to “Settlement and impairment charges” within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) with a corresponding liability recorded to “Accrued liabilities” within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Batton Settlement and any actions taken to carry out the Batton Settlement are not an admission or concession of liability, or of the validity of any claim, defense, or point of fact or law on the part of any party. RE/MAX, LLC continues to deny the material allegations of the Batton Action. RE/MAX, LLC entered into the Batton Settlement after considering the risks and costs of continuing the litigation.
On August 22, 2024, plaintiff Homie Technology, Inc. (“Homie”) filed suit against the National Association of Realtors, Anywhere Real Estate, Inc., Keller Williams Realty, Inc., HomeServices of America, Inc., HSF Affiliates, LLC, RE/MAX, LLC, and Wasatch Front Regional Multiple Listing Service, Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of Utah. The lawsuit alleges certain NAR rules, many of which were at issue in the Moehrl-related antitrust litigations, created a
21
barrier to entry for Homie as a competitor, and that other defendants agreed and/or conspired to implement these rules and engaged in conduct that foreclosed Homie from competing. The complaint alleges federal and state antitrust claims and tortious interference. The plaintiff seeks injunctive relief and an unspecified amount of damages. RE/MAX, LLC filed a motion to dismiss on October 18, 2024. On July 15, 2025, the court dismissed the lawsuit and Homie’s claims. Homie filed a notice of appeal on August 7, 2025, to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. The court scheduled oral argument for May 12, 2026. The Company intends to vigorously defend the appeal.
Canadian Competition Act Litigation and Settlement
On April 9, 2021, a putative class action claim (the “Sunderland Action”) was filed in the Federal Court of Canada against multiple real estate companies, including RE/MAX Ontario-Atlantic Canada, Inc. (“REMAX OA”), which the Company acquired in July 2021, alleging violations of the Canadian Competition Act related to certain Canadian Real Estate Association rules and real estate commission practices. A similar national class action was filed on January 18, 2024 (the “McFall Action”). These cases are collectively referred to as the “Canadian competition litigations.” Refer to Item 8, Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further details.
In early 2025, REMAX OA reached a substantial agreement on monetary terms and business practice changes to resolve the Canadian competition litigations. On April 29, 2025, REMAX OA entered into a settlement agreement to resolve all claims in these litigations (the “Canadian Settlement Agreement”). Under the Canadian Settlement Agreement, REMAX OA paid $7.8 million Canadian dollars (the “Canadian Settlement Amount”) into a third-party interest-bearing account in the second quarter of 2025 and agreed to certain business practice changes consistent with those in the U.S. Settlement Agreement. Any actions taken to carry out the Canadian Settlement Agreement are not an admission or concession of liability, or of the validity of any claim, defense, or point of fact or law on the part of the Company. The Company continues to deny the material allegations of the Canadian competition litigations. The Company entered into the settlement agreement after considering the risks and costs of continuing the litigation. The Company used available cash to fund the payment and recorded the Canadian Settlement Amount to “Settlement and impairment charges” within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and recognized a corresponding liability in “Accrued liabilities” within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets during the fourth quarter of 2024. The court approved the Canadian Settlement Agreement on October 8, 2025, resulting in a reduction of $7.8 million Canadian dollars (translated to $5.6 million U.S. dollars at the transaction date) in “Restricted cash” with a corresponding reduction of the liability in “Accrued liabilities” within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets during 2025. On October 8, 2025, the court dismissed REMAX OA from the Canadian competition litigations pursuant to the terms of the settlement.
12. Segment Information
The Company operates under the following three reportable segments: Real Estate, Mortgage, and Marketing Funds. 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. The Company presents all other business activities and operating segments that do not meet the quantitative significance tests for reportable segments under Other. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) evaluates operating results of its segments based upon forecast or budget operating results against actual operating results, including revenue, operating expenses 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 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Business Overview
We are one of the world’s leading franchisors in the real estate industry. We franchise real estate brokerages globally under the REMAX brand (“REMAX”) and mortgage brokerages in the U.S. under the Motto Mortgage brand (“Motto”). We also sell ancillary products and services to our franchise networks, including marketing services, technology platforms, and mortgage loan processing services to our Motto network and third parties through our wemlo® brand and advertisements on and lead generation services from our flagship websites www.remax.com and www.remax.ca. REMAX and Motto are 100% franchised. We do not own any of the brokerages that operate under the REMAX and Motto brands but provide the right to use our brands and a unique value proposition to support our franchisees as they fund their own growth and development. As a result, we maintain a low fixed-cost structure which, combined with our recurring fee-based models, enables us to capitalize on the economic benefits of the franchising model, yielding high margins and significant cash flow. We are focused on operating our business as efficiently and effectively as possible, maintaining a growth mindset, and delivering the absolute best customer experience. We provide quality education, innovative technology products, and valuable marketing and marketing services. We also leverage our size and scale to continue to build the strength of our brands and enhance our competitive advantages.
On April 26, 2026, we entered into a definitive Arrangement Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with The Real Brokerage Inc. ("Real"), under which a newly formed holding company, Real REMAX Group, will acquire both the Company and Real (the “Merger”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, holders of our Class A common stock will have the right to elect to receive either shares of Real REMAX Group common stock or cash, subject to proration within specified minimum and maximum aggregate cash amounts. Concurrently, we entered into an amendment to the Tax Receivable Agreement with RIHI, Inc. that will terminate the agreement upon closing of the transaction, with no payments to be made thereunder. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, including stockholder approvals and regulatory approvals. See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Financial and Operational Highlights – Three Months and Period Ended March 31, 2026
(Compared to the three months and the period ended March 31, 2025, unless otherwise noted)
In the first quarter of 2026, our global agent network reached a record 149,000 agents, reflecting four consecutive quarters of improvement of the downward trend in U.S. agent count performance and relatively flat activity in Canada, despite challenging housing and mortgage market conditions and broader economic uncertainty. Despite this operational improvement, the aforementioned macroeconomic factors continued to pressure U.S. RE/MAX agent count, Motto Mortgage office count and consolidated revenue.
In response to these conditions, we remain focused on initiatives designed to enhance our value proposition for franchisees and agents by increasing flexibility, improving recruiting and onboarding, and aligning economics more closely with transaction activity. During the last year, we launched refreshed, digital‑first branding and introduced new optional performance‑based economic models, including Aspire℠, Ascend℠ and Appreciate℠, which are intended to lower fixed costs, shift fees toward variable structures and better support agent productivity and franchisee cash flow. Adoption of these programs began during 2025, and early results have been encouraging.
26
We also continued to invest in technology and marketing solutions to support affiliate success and diversify revenue, including the launch of Marketing Studio (formerly known as “Marketing as a Service (MaaS)”) and continued enhancements to our consumer‑facing websites.
Additionally, in early 2026, we announced our participation with Zillow related to its Zillow Preview service. This provides participating REMAX brokerages with the opportunity to promote pre‑market or “coming soon” listings, that are not yet active in the MLS, through Zillow’s platform, expanding listing exposure to a broad consumer audience while supporting transparency and consumer choice while adhering to local MLS rules and regulations. We believe this initiative enhances our affiliates’ marketing capabilities and complements our broader focus on technology, distribution and consumer engagement.
These enhancements contributed to renewed momentum in agent recruitment, including the largest conversion in Company history in January 2026, when more than 1,200 agents across 17 offices joined the REMAX network in the Greater Toronto Area and the largest conversion in U.S. history in March 2026, when more than 300 agents across 7 offices joined the REMAX network in Rhode Island.
Collectively, these initiatives reflect our strategic focus on navigating market softness while positioning the business for longer‑term growth.

Continuing Franchise Fees
Revenue from Continuing franchise fees decreased primarily due to incentives related to modifications to the Company’s standard fee models, including the Aspire and Ascend programs, which resulted in a partially offsetting increase in Broker Fees in addition to a reduction in U.S. agent count.
Broker Fees
Revenue from Broker fees increased primarily due to the impact of recognizing Broker fees ratably throughout the year in the U.S. and Canada for commission capped programs such as Aspire, and due to incentives related to certain modifications to the Company’s standard fee models, including the Aspire and Ascend programs, which resulted in a partially offsetting decrease to Continuing franchise fees. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in U.S. agent count.
Marketing Funds Fees and Marketing Funds Expenses
Revenue from Marketing Funds fees decreased primarily due to incentives related to modifications to the Company’s standard fee models, including the Aspire and Ascend programs and a reduction 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 revenue from Marketing Studio revenue, higher advertising revenue on our flagship websites and revenue from our annual REMAX agent convention. These increases were partially offset by lower revenue from previous acquisitions (excluding Independent Region acquisitions), lower Mortgage segment revenue and declines in revenue from our preferred marketing arrangements.

Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased primarily due to lower franchise agreements amortization expense from prior years Independent Region acquisitions becoming fully amortized and sale and disposal of assets.
Settlement and Impairment Charges
During the first quarter of 2026, we entered into a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement (the “Batton Settlement”) for $8.5 million to resolve all remaining claims against RE/MAX, LLC in the Batton Action that were not previously released in the U.S. Settlement Agreement from 2023. This was recorded to “Settlement and impairment charges” within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) with a corresponding amount recorded to “Accrued liabilities” within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Batton Settlement was granted preliminary approval by the court on March 31, 2026, but remains subject to final court approval and will become effective upon such final approval, subject to any appeals.
During the first quarter of 2025, we settled an immaterial legal matter, which is being paid out over twelve months, beginning in the second quarter of 2025. Activity related to this immaterial legal matter was recorded to “Settlement and impairment charges” within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) with a corresponding liability recorded to “Accrued liabilities” within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additionally, we also recorded an impairment on an office lease in Canada in the first quarter of 2025 to “Settlement and impairment charges” within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) with a corresponding liability recorded to “Operating lease right of use assets” within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

766
9.7
(34)
(267)
465
6.9
8.9
9.0
Other expenses, net decreased primarily due to a decrease in interest expense due to lower interest rates and a decrease in interest income due to lower interest rate yields and declines in investable balances. See Note 7, Debt for more information. Foreign currency transaction gains (losses) are primarily the result of transactions denominated in the Canadian dollar and the Canadian dollar has weakened in comparison to the U.S dollar between the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to December 31, 2025, and the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to December 31, 2024.
Provision for Income Taxes
The comparison of effective income tax rates (“EITR”) for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025, is not meaningful. For the first quarter of both 2026 and 2025, the EITR was primarily impacted by foreign taxes on overseas income and valuation allowances related to U.S. foreign tax credits.
31
In addition, our EITR depends on many factors, including a rate benefit attributable to the fact that the portion of RMCO’s earnings allocated 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 tax rates and foreign income tax expense. 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 9, 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 $15.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, a decrease of $3.7 million from the comparable prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA decreased primarily due to lower total revenue driven by modifications to the Company’s standard fee models, including the Aspire and Ascend programs and a reduction in U.S. agent count, increases to events-related expenses, and investments in technology; partially offset by certain lower personnel-related expenses.
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.
Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds is a non-GAAP measure of financial performance that differs from U.S. GAAP, and we believe that exclusion of the Marketing Funds is a useful supplemental measure as we recognize an equal and offsetting amount of expenses to revenue such that there is no impact to our overall profitability. Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds is calculated directly from our condensed consolidated financial statements as Total revenue less Marketing Funds fees.
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 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.
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 provide 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:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview of Factors Affecting Our Liquidity
Our liquidity position is primarily affected by the change in our agent and franchise base and conditions in the real estate and mortgage markets. 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 REMAX network, particularly in Company-Owned Regions. Our cash flows are primarily related to the timing of:
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 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.
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”), which was amended and restated on July 21, 2021 to refinance our previous 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 was amended on September 30, 2025, to extend the maturity from July 21, 2026, to April 21, 2028, if any amounts are drawn. The Senior Secured Credit 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 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 requires us to repay term loans at approximately $1.2 million per quarter. We are also required to repay the term loans and reduce revolving commitments with (i) 100% of proceeds of any incurrence of additional debt not permitted by the Senior Secured Credit Facility, (ii) 100% of proceeds of asset sales and 100% 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 our TLR as of the last day of such fiscal year is less than 3.75:1, no repayment from ECF is required. As of December 31, 2025, no ECF payment was required because the TLR was below 3.75:1.
The Senior Secured Credit Facility provides for customary restrictions on, among other things, additional indebtedness, liens, dispositions of property, dividends, share repurchases, other distributions, transactions with affiliates and fundamental changes such as mergers, consolidations, and liquidations. In general, we can make unlimited restricted payments – including dividends and share repurchases – if the TLR does not exceed 3.50:1 (both before and after giving effect to such payments). If the TLR exceeds 3.50:1, we will be generally limited in the amount of restricted payments we can make up to the greater of $50 million or 50% of RE/MAX, LLC’s consolidated EBITDA on a trailing twelve-month basis (unless we rely on other restricted payment baskets available under the Senior Secured Credit Facility).
We calculate the TLR quarterly and it is based on RE/MAX, LLC’s consolidated indebtedness and consolidated EBITDA on a trailing twelve-month basis, both defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility. For the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2026, RE/MAX, LLC’s consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facility, was $90.9 million and as of March 31, 2026, the TLR was 3.63:1.
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.
34
Borrowings under the term loans and revolving loans accrue interest, at our option on (a) the adjusted forward-looking term rate based on the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Adjusted Term SOFR”), provided the Adjusted Term SOFR shall be no less than 0.50% plus an applicable margin of 2.50% 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 Adjusted Term SOFR plus 1.00%, (such greatest rate, the “ABR”), provided the ABR shall be no less than 1.50%, plus in each case, an applicable margin of 1.50%. As of March 31, 2026, the interest rate on the term loan facility was 6.3%.
If any amounts are drawn on the $50 million revolving line of credit as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, the terms of the Senior Secured Credit Facility require the TLR to not exceed 4.50:1 as of the last day of four consecutive fiscal quarters. As a result, as long as the TLR remains below 4.50:1, access to borrowings under the revolving line of credit will not be restricted. A commitment fee of 0.5% per annum (subject to reductions) accrues on the amount of unutilized revolving line of credit regardless of our TLR. As of the date of this report, no amounts were drawn on the revolving line of credit.
As of March 31, 2026, we had $438.2 million of term loans outstanding and no revolving loans outstanding under our Senior Secured Credit Facility.
Sources and Uses of Cash
As of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, we had $107.1 million and $118.7 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents, of which approximately $28.4 million and $29.8 million, respectively, were denominated in foreign currencies.
The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities (in thousands):
Cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities
Investing activities
Financing activities
Net change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash
Operating Activities
Cash from operating activities decreased primarily due to higher spend in the Marketing Funds, a decrease in Adjusted EBITDA, and timing differences on various operating assets and liabilities, partially offset by lower payments of certain employee-related liabilities and lower interest payments.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities was primarily due to higher spend on capitalizable investments in technology, in particular with respect to our flagship websites www.remax.com and www.remax.ca in the current year.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities was primarily due to lower tax withholding and dividend equivalent payments for share-based compensation in the current year.
Capital Allocation Priorities
Liquidity
Our objective is to maintain a strong liquidity position. We have existing cash balances, cash flows from operating activities, 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 additional acquisitions or investments in complementary businesses, services and technologies that would provide access to new markets, revenue streams, or otherwise complement our
35
existing operations; however, as described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, on April 26, 2026, we entered into the Merger Agreement with Real that contains customary covenants that place certain restrictions on our ability to pursue additional acquisitions or investments. 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 $2.4 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. These amounts primarily relate to investments in technology and spend on leased buildings other than our corporate headquarters. We plan to continue to re-invest in our business in order to improve operational efficiencies and enhance the tools and services provided to the affiliates in our networks. See Financial and Operational Highlights above for additional information.
Return of Capital
In the fourth quarter of 2023, our Board of Directors suspended our quarterly dividend. In light of the litigation settlements (as further discussed in Note 11, Commitments and Contingencies) and ongoing challenging housing and mortgage market conditions, our Board of Directors suspended our quarterly dividend and therefore no dividends have been paid since.
Our Board of Directors has 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. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, we did not repurchase any shares of our Class A common stock. As of March 31, 2026, $62.5 million remained available under the share repurchase authorization. During the pendency of the Merger, the Merger Agreement contains customary covenants that place certain restrictions on our ability to repurchase shares or declare dividends outside the ordinary course of business without the prior consent of Real.
Future capital allocation decisions with respect to return of capital either in the form of future dividends, and if declared, the amount, payment and timing of any such future dividend, or in the form of share buybacks, will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and with the consent of Real during the pendency of the Merger. The Board of Directors will take into account general economic, housing and mortgage market conditions, the Company’s financial condition, available cash, current and anticipated cash needs, any applicable restrictions pursuant to the terms of our Senior Secured Credit Facility and any other factors that the Board of Directors considers relevant.
Distributions and Other Payments to Non-controlling Unitholders by RMCO
Distributions and other payments paid to non-controlling unitholders pursuant to the RMCO, LLC Agreement were immaterial for the three months ended 2026 and 2025. Payments pursuant to the TRAs were $1.3 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively.
As described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Tax Receivable Agreement (the “RIHI TRA Amendment”) with RIHI, Inc. (“RIHI”), which will terminate the RIHI TRA upon closing of the Merger with no further payments to be made thereunder. If a Qualifying Change of Control does not occur within eighteen months of the date of the RIHI TRA Amendment, the RIHI TRA Amendment will be void and of no further effect.
Commitments and Contingencies
See Note 11, Commitments and Contingencies, to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no material off balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2026.
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 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K for which there were no material changes, included:

New Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.
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. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, bad debt expense was 1.6% and 2.1% of revenue, respectively.
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 March 31, 2026, $438.2 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 based on Adjusted Term SOFR, subject to a floor of 0.50%, plus an applicable margin of 2.50%.
As of March 31, 2026, the interest rate was 6.3%. If 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 120 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 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 months ended March 31, 2026, 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 $0.4 million 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 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 March 31, 2026 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 March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
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 11, 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 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Other than as described below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors as disclosed in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K, other than as described below.
Risks Relating to the Pending Merger
The Merger, the pendency of the Merger or our failure to consummate the Merger could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the price of our Class A common stock.
On April 26, 2026, we entered into an Arrangement Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") by and among the Company, The Real Brokerage Inc., a company existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia ("Real"), Rome Wildlife, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("New Wildlife"), and certain other merger subsidiaries of New Wildlife, pursuant to which New Wildlife will acquire the Company and Real (the "Merger"). The Merger is subject to certain closing conditions, including adoption of the Merger Agreement by our stockholders, approval of the Arrangement by Real's shareholders, regulatory approvals, consummation of the RIHI Merger, and such other conditions to completion as set forth in the Merger Agreement. There is no assurance that all of the various conditions will be satisfied, or that the Merger will be completed on the proposed terms, within the expected timeframe, or at all. Our ongoing business may be materially adversely affected by the announcement or the pendency of the Merger, and we would be subject to a number of risks, including the following:
If the Merger is not consummated, the risks described above may materialize or be worsened, and they may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and the price of our Class A common stock, particularly to the extent that the current market price of our Class A common stock reflects an assumption that the Merger will be completed. If the Merger is not consummated, investor confidence could decline, stockholder litigation could be brought against us, our directors and/or officers, relationships with existing and prospective agents, franchisees, customers, service providers, investors, lenders and other business partners may be adversely impacted, we may be unable to attract or retain key personnel, our employees could be distracted and their productivity decline and profitability may be adversely impacted due to costs incurred in connection with the pending Merger. We may experience negative reactions from the financial markets, including negative impacts on our stock price, and it is uncertain when, if ever, the price of our shares would return to the prices at which our shares traded prior to the announcement of the proposed Merger. If the Merger is not consummated, including as a result of our stockholders failing to adopt the Merger Agreement or Real's shareholders failing to approve the Arrangement, our stockholders will not receive any Merger Consideration in
connection with the Merger. Instead, we will remain a public company, our Class A common stock will continue to be listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange and registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and we will be required to continue to file periodic reports with the SEC. In addition, if the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain specified circumstances, we may be required to pay a termination fee to Real, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and liquidity.
Even if successfully completed, there are certain risks to our stockholders from the Merger, including:
The proposed Merger is subject to adoption by our stockholders, approval by Real's shareholders and the satisfaction of other closing conditions, some or all of which may not be satisfied or completed within the expected timeframe, or at all.
The proposed Merger may not be completed within the expected timeframe, or at all, as a result of various factors and conditions, some of which are beyond our control. Completion of the Merger is subject to a number of closing conditions, including, among others, (1) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Company common stock, (2) the approval of the Arrangement by the requisite vote of Real's shareholders, (3) the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, (4) the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-4 pursuant to which the shares of New Wildlife common stock to be issued in connection with the Merger and the Arrangement will be registered, (5) the authorization for listing on Nasdaq of the New Wildlife common stock to be issued in the Merger and the Arrangement, (6) the consummation of the RIHI Merger, (7) the obtaining of the Interim Order and Final Order under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), (8) the absence of any injunction, order or law prohibiting the Merger or the Arrangement, and (9) the absence of a "Company Material Adverse Effect" or a "Parent Material Adverse Effect" (each as defined in the Merger Agreement). We can provide no assurance that all required consents and approvals will be obtained or that all closing conditions will otherwise be satisfied (or waived, if applicable), and, even if all required consents and approvals can be obtained and all closing conditions are satisfied (or waived, if applicable), we can provide no assurance as to the terms, conditions and timing of such consents and approvals or the timing of the completion of the Merger. Many of the conditions to completion of the Merger are not within our control, and we cannot predict when or if these conditions will be satisfied (or waived, if applicable). Other developments beyond our control, including, but not limited to, changes in domestic or global economic, political or industry conditions, or changes in U.S. or Canadian regulatory requirements, may affect the timing or success of the Merger. Additionally, under circumstances specified in the Merger Agreement, we or Real may terminate the Merger Agreement, including if the Merger has not closed within nine months after the execution of the Merger Agreement (subject to two automatic extensions of forty-five days each if, on each such date, all of the closing conditions, except those relating to certain regulatory approvals, have been satisfied or waived). Any adverse consequence of the pending Merger could be exacerbated by any delays in completion of the Merger or by the termination of the Merger Agreement.
The obligation of each party to the Merger Agreement to consummate the Merger is also subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party (subject to customary materiality qualifications) and compliance in all
40
material respects with the covenants and agreements contained in the Merger Agreement as of the closing of the Merger, including covenants by each of the Company and Real to conduct their respective businesses in the ordinary course in all material respects consistent with past practice and to not engage in certain kinds of material transactions prior to closing of the Merger. In addition, the Merger Agreement may be terminated under certain specified circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) in connection with a change in the recommendation of our Board of Directors, including to enter into an agreement for a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (ii) in connection with a change in the recommendation of Real's board of directors, (iii) upon the failure to receive the required approval of the Company's stockholders or Real's shareholders, or (iv) in the event of a material uncured breach by either party of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements under the Merger Agreement. Upon termination under certain specified circumstances, a termination fee may be payable by either the Company or Real. As a result, we cannot assure you that the Merger will be completed, even if our stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement and Real's shareholders approve the Arrangement, or that, if completed, it will be exactly on the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement or within the expected timeframe.
We will be subject to various uncertainties while the Merger is pending that may cause disruption and may make it more difficult to maintain relationships with our employees, agents, franchisees and other third-party business partners.
Our efforts to complete the Merger could cause substantial disruptions in, and create uncertainty surrounding, our business, which may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Uncertainty as to whether the Merger will be completed may affect our ability to recruit prospective employees or to retain and motivate existing employees. Employee retention may be particularly challenging while the Merger is pending because employees may experience uncertainty about their roles following the Merger, including with respect to the integration of the Company's and Real's operations and the future leadership structure of the combined company. A substantial amount of our management's and employees' attention will be directed toward the completion of the Merger and related integration planning and thus be diverted from our day-to-day operations.
Uncertainty as to the future could adversely affect our business and our relationships with agents, franchisees and other third parties. For example, certain of our franchisees or agents may decide to leave our network or affiliate with competing brands as a result of the proposed Merger, and prospective franchisees or agents may delay or decline to enter into new franchise agreements or affiliation arrangements with us, which could result in a permanent loss of such franchisees or agents even if the Merger is not consummated. Similarly, brokers and loan originators operating under the Motto Mortgage brand may experience uncertainty regarding the future of the Motto franchise system following the Merger. In addition, third-party vendors, technology partners, referral sources and other business partners may seek to modify, renegotiate or terminate their relationships with us as a result of uncertainty surrounding the Merger. Changes to or termination of existing business relationships could adversely affect our agent count, franchise sales, revenue, earnings and financial condition, as well as the market price of our Class A common stock. The adverse effects of the pendency of the Merger could be exacerbated by any delays in completion of the Merger or by the termination of the Merger Agreement.
While the Merger is pending and the Merger Agreement is in effect, we are subject to restrictions on our business activities.
While the Merger is pending and the Merger Agreement is in effect, we are generally required to conduct our business in the ordinary course in all material respects consistent with past practice during the period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the earlier of the termination of the Merger Agreement and the effective time of the First Merger. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, we are restricted from taking certain specified actions without Real's prior consent, which is not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. These limitations include, among other things, certain restrictions on our ability to amend our organizational documents; acquire other businesses and assets; make certain investments; repurchase, reclassify or issue securities, including shares of our Class A common stock; make loans; declare or pay dividends or other distributions; incur indebtedness; incur capital expenditures; enter into, modify or terminate certain contracts, including certain franchise agreements; change accounting policies or procedures; settle certain litigation; change tax classifications and elections; hire or engage employees and independent contractors or modify compensation or benefits arrangements; grant or modify franchise rights or territory agreements; modify the terms of existing franchise arrangements in a manner that is not in the ordinary course of business; take certain actions relating to intellectual property of the Company; or modify or terminate the TRA other than pursuant to the RIHI TRA Amendment. These restrictions could prevent us from pursuing strategic business opportunities, including potential acquisitions, new franchise development initiatives and other growth investments, and from taking other actions with respect to our business that we may consider advantageous, and may, as a result, materially and adversely affect our business, agent count, franchise sales, revenue, results of operations and financial condition. In particular, restrictions on our ability to
41
enter into or modify franchise agreements, adjust agent commission structures, invest in technology initiatives or pursue acquisitions could impair our ability to respond to competitive pressures in the real estate brokerage and franchising industry during the pendency of the Merger. Adverse effects arising from these restrictions during the pendency of the Merger could be exacerbated by any delays in consummation of the Merger or termination of the Merger Agreement.
The Merger Agreement limits our ability to pursue alternatives to the Merger and may discourage other companies from trying to acquire us.
The Merger Agreement contains provisions that make it more difficult for us to sell our business to a party other than Real. These provisions include a general prohibition on us soliciting any acquisition proposal or offer for a competing transaction during the pendency of the Merger. While the Merger Agreement permits our Board of Directors to respond to certain unsolicited proposals that constitute or would reasonably be expected to lead to a superior proposal, and to change its recommendation or terminate the Merger Agreement to enter into an agreement for a superior proposal, the Merger Agreement imposes procedural requirements and limitations on our Board of Directors' ability to do so, including a requirement that we provide Real with prior written notice and an opportunity to negotiate revised terms before our Board of Directors may change its recommendation or authorize the Company to enter into an agreement for a superior proposal. If we terminate the Merger Agreement under certain specified circumstances, including in connection with a change in the recommendation of our Board of Directors in order to enter into an agreement for a superior proposal, we may be required to pay Real a termination fee of $25 million. Similarly, if Real terminates the Merger Agreement under certain specified circumstances, Real may be required to pay a termination fee to the Company of $31 million. In addition, upon termination of the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances relating to the failure to obtain required regulatory approvals, including as a result of certain breaches by Real of its regulatory efforts covenants, expiration of the End Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement) due to the failure to obtain regulatory approvals where all other conditions have been satisfied or waived, or the imposition of a permanent restraint relating to antitrust or competition law, Real would be required to pay the Company a regulatory termination fee of $36 million.
These provisions might discourage a third party that has an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of the Company from considering or proposing an acquisition, even if the party were prepared to pay consideration with a higher per share value than the value of the Merger Consideration proposed to be received in the Merger, or might result in a potential competing acquirer proposing to pay a lower price than it might otherwise have proposed to pay because of the added expense of the termination fee that may become payable in certain circumstances. In addition, because the Merger Consideration consists of a mix of cash and shares of New Wildlife common stock (subject to election and proration), comparisons between the Merger Consideration and any competing proposal may be complicated by fluctuations in the trading price of New Wildlife common stock or the common shares of Real prior to the closing of the Merger.
In certain instances, the Merger Agreement requires us to pay a termination fee to Real, and in certain instances requires Real to pay a termination fee to us, which could affect the decisions of a third party considering making an alternative acquisition proposal.
In certain specified circumstances further described in the Merger Agreement, in connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement, we will be required to pay Real a termination fee of $25 million (the "Company Termination Fee"). For example, the Company Termination Fee would be payable if the Merger Agreement is terminated (i) by Real as a result of a change in the recommendation of our Board of Directors, (ii) by the Company in order to enter into an agreement for a superior proposal, or (iii) under certain other circumstances involving the existence of a competing acquisition proposal, in each case as more fully described in the Merger Agreement. Separately, in certain specified circumstances, Real would be required to pay a termination fee of $31 million to the Company, including if the Merger Agreement is terminated as a result of a change in the recommendation of Real's board of directors. In addition, upon termination of the Merger Agreement (i) by the Company for certain breaches by Real of the regulatory efforts covenants in the Merger Agreement, (ii) by the Company or Real at the End Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement) if certain required regulatory approvals have not been obtained but all other conditions to closing have been satisfied or waived (except for those that are to be satisfied at the closing), or (iii) by the Company or Real because of a permanent restraint relating to antitrust or competition law, Real would be required to pay the Company a regulatory termination fee of $36 million.
The requirement to pay a termination fee could affect the structure, pricing and terms proposed by a third party seeking to acquire or merge with us and could discourage a third party from making a competing acquisition proposal or inquiry, including a proposal that would be more favorable to our stockholders than the Merger. In addition, because the Merger Consideration consists of a mix of cash and shares of New Wildlife common stock subject to election and proration, a potential competing acquirer may face additional difficulty in structuring a proposal that our Board of Directors would determine to be a superior proposal after taking into account the termination fee that would become payable.
42
If the Merger Agreement is terminated and we are required to pay the termination fee, such payment could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and liquidity, and could reduce the amount of cash available to fund our operations, service our indebtedness, including under our Senior Secured Credit Facility, and pursue other strategic opportunities. Conversely, if Real is required to pay the termination fee or the regulatory termination fee to the Company, such payment may not fully compensate the Company for the costs incurred and opportunities foregone in connection with the Merger, and the Company would remain subject to the risks described elsewhere in this section relating to the failure to consummate the Merger. For these and other reasons, termination of the Merger Agreement could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, which in turn could materially and adversely affect the price of our Class A common stock.
We may be the target of securities class action and derivative lawsuits and other legal or regulatory proceedings, which could result in substantial costs and may delay or prevent the Merger from being completed.
Securities class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits are often brought against public companies that have entered into merger agreements. Even if such lawsuits or other legal or regulatory proceedings are without merit, defending against these claims can result in substantial costs and divert management time and resources. An adverse judgment in any such lawsuits or proceedings could result in monetary damages payable by the Company, which could have a negative impact on our liquidity, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, the pendency of such litigation could create uncertainty and negatively affect our relationships with agents, franchisees and other business partners, and could impair our ability to recruit and retain employees.
The Merger involves a complex, multi-step transaction structure, including the RIHI Merger, the First Merger, the Second Merger and the Arrangement, as well as the concurrent RIHI TRA Amendment, any of which could become the subject of legal challenge. Lawsuits or other proceedings may be brought challenging, among other things, the adequacy of the disclosures in our proxy statement/prospectus on Form S-4, the process conducted by our Board of Directors, the terms of the Merger Agreement, alleged breaches of fiduciary duties by our directors and/or officers, or the fairness of the Merger Consideration, including the allocation between cash and New Wildlife common stock and the proration mechanics. Similarly, Real's shareholders may bring proceedings in connection with the Arrangement under Canadian law, which could independently delay or prevent the consummation of the overall transaction.
Additionally, if a plaintiff is successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting completion of the proposed Merger, then that injunction may delay or prevent the proposed Merger from being completed, which may exacerbate the other risks described herein and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Any such delay could also result in the Merger not being consummated before the Outside Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement), which could give rise to termination rights under the Merger Agreement. Even if we are ultimately successful in defending against such claims, the costs and distraction of litigation during the pendency of the Merger could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, as well as the price of our Class A common stock.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Our Board of Directors has authorized a common stock repurchase program of up to $100 million. The share repurchase program has no expiration date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. There was no share repurchase activity during the three months ended March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, $62.5 million remains under the program.
