1. Business and Organization

RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. (“RE/MAX Holdings”) was formed as a Delaware corporation on June 25, 2013. On October 7, 2013, RE/MAX Holdings completed an initial public offering (the “IPO”) of its shares of Class A common stock. RE/MAX Holdings’ only business is to act as the sole manager of RMCO, LLC (“RMCO”). As of June 30, 2017, RE/MAX Holdings owns 58.49% of the common membership units in RMCO, while RIHI, Inc. (“RIHI”) owns the remaining 41.51% of common membership units in RMCO. RE/MAX Holdings and its consolidated subsidiaries, including RMCO, are referred to hereinafter as the “Company.”

The Company is a franchisor in the real estate industry, franchising real estate brokerages globally under the RE/MAX brand (“RE/MAX”) and mortgage brokerages within the United States (“U.S.”) under the Motto Mortgage brand. RE/MAX, founded in 1973, has over 115,000 agents operating in over 7,000 offices and a presence in more than 100 countries and territories. Motto Mortgage (“Motto”), founded in 2016, is the first nationally franchised mortgage brokerage in the U.S. The Company sold certain operating assets and liabilities of its owned brokerage offices during 2015 and the first quarter of 2016 to existing RE/MAX franchisees (See Note 5, Acquisitions and Dispositions, for a discussion of the 2016 sales). Since then, the Company is 100% franchised, no longer operates any real estate brokerage offices and no longer recognizes brokerage revenue (which consisted of fees assessed by the Company’s owned brokerages for services provided to their affiliated real estate agents). While the Company operates through both RE/MAX and Motto, due to the immateriality of revenue earned by Motto, the Company discloses only one reportable segment.

The Company’s revenue is derived as follows:

 Continuing franchise fees which consist of fixed contractual fees paid monthly by regional franchise owners and franchisees based on the number of RE/MAX agents in the respective franchised region or office and the number of Motto offices (no significant continuing franchise fees were generated by Motto during the periods presented);

 Annual dues from RE/MAX agents;

 Broker fees, which consist of fees paid by regional RE/MAX franchise owners and franchisees for real estate commissions paid by customers when an agent sells a home;

 Franchise sales and other franchise revenue which consist of fees from initial sales and renewals of RE/MAX and Motto franchises, regional franchise fees, preferred marketing arrangements, approved supplier programs and event-based revenue from training and other programs; and

 Brokerage revenue prior to the sale of the Company’s brokerage offices during 2015 and the first quarter of 2016.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2016, which was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, and the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and with Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In compliance with those instructions, 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 RE/MAX Holdings and its consolidated subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(Unaudited)

statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the results of its operations and comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, and changes in its stockholders’ equity for the six months ended June 30, 2017. 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, 2016.

During 2016, the Company completed the acquisitions of six independent regions. Their results of operations, cash flows and financial positions are included in the consolidated financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition. See Note 5, Acquisitions and Dispositions, for additional information.

Reclassifications

Certain items in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2016 have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. These reclassifications did not affect the Company’s consolidated results of operations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of 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 disclosure of contingent assets and 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.

Principles of Consolidation

As of June 30, 2017, RE/MAX Holdings owns 58.49% of the common membership units in RMCO and, as its managing member, RE/MAX Holdings controls RMCO’s operations, management and activities. As a result, RE/MAX Holdings consolidates RMCO and records a non-controlling interest in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and records net income attributable to the non-controlling interest and comprehensive income attributable to the non-controlling interest in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, respectively.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), which simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating step two from the goodwill impairment test. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests beginning January 1, 2020 for the Company and is required to be adopted using a prospective approach. Early adoption is allowed for annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Also in January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which clarifies when transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. ASU 2017-01 is effective for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning January 1, 2018 for the Company and is required to be adopted using a prospective approach. Early adoption is permitted for transactions not previously reported in issued financial statements. The Company has not yet determined the effect of the standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Table of Contents

RE/MAX HOLDINGS, INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(Unaudited)

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which clarifies classification for certain cash receipts and cash payments on the consolidated statement of cash flow. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning January 1, 2018 for the Company. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual reporting period. The standard requires a retrospective transition method for each period presented. Under the new guidance, the contingent consideration payments related to the purchase of Full House Mortgage Connection, Inc. (“Full House”) will be classified as financing outflows up to the $6.3 million acquisition date fair value and any cash payments paid in excess of the acquisition date fair value will be classified as operating outflows. (See Note 5 Acquisitions and Dispositions). The Company expects no other material impact on its financial statements and related disclosures upon the adoption of this standard.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from all leases on the consolidated balance sheets. ASU 2016-02 is required to be adopted by the Company on January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual reporting period. The standard requires a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. The Company has not yet determined the effect of the standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), with several subsequent amendments, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The Company will adopt this standard on January 1, 2018. The Company expects the adoption of the new guidance to change the timing of recognition of franchise sales and franchise renewal revenue. Currently the Company recognizes revenue upon completion of a sale or renewal. Under the new guidance, franchise sales and renewal revenue, which are included in Franchise Sales and Other Franchise Revenue in the Consolidated Statement of Income, will be recognized over the contractual term of the franchise agreement. The Company currently anticipates that it will utilize the full retrospective transition method, however, this expectation may change following the completion of its evaluation of the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

(b) The provision for income taxes attributable to RE/MAX Holdings is primarily comprised of U.S. federal and state income taxes on its proportionate share of the pass-through income from RMCO. However, it also includes its share of taxes imposed directly on RE/MAX, LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries (“RE/MAX, LLC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of RMCO, related primarily to tax liabilities in certain foreign jurisdictions.

Distributions and Other Payments to Non-controlling Unitholders

Under the terms of RMCO’s fourth amended and restated limited liability company operating agreement (the “New RMCO, LLC Agreement”), RMCO makes cash distributions to non-controlling unitholders. The distributions paid or payable to or on behalf of non-controlling unitholders under the New RMCO, LLC Agreement are summarized as follows (in thousands):


	Six Months Ended

	2017		2016

Dividend distributions		4,521		3,768
Total distributions to non-controlling unitholders	$	10,971	$	8,912

On August 2, 2017, the Company declared a distribution to non-controlling unitholders of $2,261,000, which is payable on August 30, 2017.

Payments Pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreements

As of June 30, 2017, the Company reflected a total liability of $96,964,000 representing the payments due to RIHI and Oberndorf Investments LLC (“Oberndorf”) under the terms of the tax receivable agreements (the “TRAs”) (see current and non-current portion of “Payable pursuant to tax receivable agreements” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets).

As of June 30, 2017, the Company estimates that amounts payable pursuant to the TRAs within the next 12-month period will be approximately $11,390,000, of which $2,623,000 is related to RE/MAX Holdings’ 2014 federal and state tax returns, $2,705,000 is related to RE/MAX Holdings’ 2015 federal and state tax returns and the remainder is related to RE/MAX Holdings’ 2016 federal and state tax returns. To determine the current amount of the payments due to RIHI and Oberndorf, the Company estimated the amount of taxable income that RE/MAX Holdings generated as well as the amount of the specified deductions subject to the TRAs which were realized by RE/MAX Holdings in its federal and state tax returns. This amount was then used as a basis for determining the Company’s increase in estimated tax cash savings as a result of such deductions on which 85% is owed as a current TRA obligation (i.e. payable within 12 months of the Company’s year-end). These calculations are performed pursuant to the terms of the TRAs. The Company paid $1,931,000 and $1,344,000 pursuant to the terms of the TRAs during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

4. Earnings Per Share and Dividends

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) measures the performance of an entity over the reporting period. Diluted EPS measures the performance of an entity over the reporting period while giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the period. The treasury stock method is used to determine the dilutive potential of stock options and restricted stock units.

There were no anti-dilutive shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. The one share of Class B common stock outstanding does not share in the earnings of RE/MAX Holdings and is therefore not a participating security. Accordingly, basic and diluted net income per share of Class B common stock has not been presented.

Dividends

During each of the three months ended March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.18 per share on all outstanding shares of Class A common stock, or $6,369,000 in total dividends. Of this amount, $3,184,000 was paid on March 22, 2017 and $3,185,000 was paid on May 31, 2017.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

On December 15, 2016, RE/MAX, LLC, entered into a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and various lenders party thereto (the “2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility”), which amended and restated a prior credit agreement (the “2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility”). The 2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility consists of a $235,000,000 term loan facility which matures on December 15, 2023 and a $10,000,000 revolving loan facility which must be repaid on December 15, 2021. Borrowings under the term loans and revolving loans, if any outstanding, accrue interest at LIBOR (as long as LIBOR is not less than the floor of 0.75%) plus a maximum applicable margin of 2.75%. As of June 30, 2017, the interest rate was 4.05%.

(Unaudited)

Mandatory principal payments of approximately $588,000 are due quarterly until the facility matures on December 15, 2023. RE/MAX, LLC may make optional prepayments on the term loan facility at any time without penalty; however, no such optional prepayments were made during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Under the 2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility, RE/MAX, LLC was required to make additional principal payments out of excess cash flow. RE/MAX, LLC made an excess cash flow prepayment of $12,727,000 on March 31, 2016. RE/MAX, LLC accounted for the mandatory principal excess cash flow prepayments as early extinguishments of debt and recorded a loss during the six months ended June 30, 2016 of $136,000 related to unamortized debt discount and issuance costs.

Under the 2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility no additional mandatory prepayment and commitment reduction is required if the total leverage ratio as defined by the 2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility as of the last day of such fiscal year is less than 2.75 to 1.0. RE/MAX, LLC’s total leverage ratio was less than 2.75 to 1.0 as of June 30, 2017, and RE/MAX, LLC does not expect to make an excess cash flow principal prepayment within the next 12-month period.

As of June 30, 2017, RE/MAX, LLC had $229,901,000 of term loans outstanding, net of an unamortized discount and issuance costs, and no revolving loans outstanding under our 2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility. Whenever amounts are drawn under the revolving line of credit, the 2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility requires compliance with a leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio. A commitment fee of 0.5% per annum accrues on the amount of unutilized revolving line of credit.

9. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be 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 Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2016.

A summary of the Company’s liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 is as follows (in thousands):


		As of June 30, 2017								As of December 31, 2016
		Fair Value		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Fair Value		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Liabilities
Contingent consideration	$	6,230	$	-	$	-	$	6,230	$	6,400	$	-	$	-	$	6,400

The Company is required to pay additional purchase consideration totaling eight percent of gross revenues generated by Motto each year for the next ten years with no limitation as to the maximum payout. The consideration is payable following each anniversary, beginning October 1, 2017 and ending September 30, 2026. The acquisition date fair value of the contingent purchase consideration represents the forecasted discounted cash payments that the Company expects to pay Full House with respect to the acquired business. The Company measures this liability each reporting period and recognizes changes in fair value, if any, in earnings of the Company. Any changes are included in “Selling, operating and administrative expenses” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. 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 cash payments derived from anticipated gross revenues.

10. Income Taxes

RE/MAX Holdings is subject to U.S. federal and state income taxation on its allocable portion of the income of RMCO. The “Provision for income taxes” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 is based on an estimate of the Company’s annualized effective income tax rate. The Company’s effective tax rate includes a rate benefit attributable to the fact that the Company’s subsidiaries operate as a series of limited liability companies which are not themselves subject to federal income tax. Accordingly, the portion of the Company’s subsidiaries earnings attributable to the non-controlling interest are not subject to U.S. federal and state income tax as the income is passed through to the non-controlling interest holders. The “Provision for income taxes” is comprised of a provision for income taxes attributable to RE/MAX Holdings and to entities other than RE/MAX Holdings. The provision for income taxes attributable to RE/MAX Holdings is primarily comprised of U.S. federal and state income taxes on its proportionate share of the pass-through income from RMCO. However, it also includes its share of taxes imposed directly on RE/MAX, LLC, related primarily to tax liabilities in certain foreign jurisdictions. The provision for income taxes attributable to the non-controlling interest represents it share of taxes imposed on RE/MAX, LLC related to tax liabilities primarily in certain foreign jurisdictions.

The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. As of June 30, 2017, the Company does not believe it has any significant uncertain tax positions.

The Company and its subsidiaries file, or will file, income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states and foreign jurisdictions. RMCO is not subject to federal income taxes as it is a flow-through entity, however, RMCO is required to file an annual U.S. Return of Partnership Income.

Time-based Restricted Stock Units

Time-based RSUs granted under the 2013 Incentive Plan are valued using the Company’s closing stock price on the date of grant. Grants awarded to the Company’s Board of Directors generally vest over a one year period. Grants awarded to the Company’s employees generally vest equally in annual installments over a three year period. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight line basis over the vesting period.

The following table summarizes equity-based compensation activity related to time-based RSUs as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2017:


	Time-based restricted stock units		Weighted average grant date fair value per share
Balance, January 1, 2017	127,011	$	33.00
Granted	43,450	$	55.45
Shares vested (including tax withholding)(a)	(58,426)	$	33.03
Forfeited	(2,935)	$	40.70
Balance, June 30, 2017	109,100	$	41.71

(a) Pursuant to the terms of the 2013 Incentive Plan, RSUs withheld by the Company for the payment of the employee's tax withholding related to an RSU vesting are added back to the pool of shares available for future awards.

At June 30, 2017, there was $3,688,000 of total unrecognized time-based RSU expense, all of which is related to unvested awards. This compensation expense is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average remaining vesting period of 1.78 years for time-based restricted stock units.

Performance-based Restricted Stock Units

Performance-based RSUs granted under the 2013 Incentive Plan are stock-based awards in which the number of shares ultimately received depends on the Company’s achievement of a specified revenue as well as the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) relative to the TSR of all companies in the S&P SmallCap 600 Index over a three year performance period. The number of shares that could be issued range from 0% to 150% of the participant’s target award. Performance-based RSUs are valued on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation for the TSR element of the award. The Company’s expense will be adjusted based on the estimated achievement of revenue versus target. Earned performance-based RSUs cliff-vest at the end of the three year performance period. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period based on the Company’s estimated performance.

The following table summarizes equity-based compensation activity related to performance-based RSUs as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2017:


	Performance-based restricted stock units		Weighted average grant date fair value per share
Balance, January 1, 2017	—	$	—

At June 30, 2017, there was $1,178,000 of total unrecognized performance-based RSU expense, all of which is related to unvested awards. This compensation expense is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average remaining vesting period of 2.5 years for performance-based RSUs.

After giving effect to all outstanding awards (assuming maximum achievement of performance goals for performance-based awards), there were 2,396,156 additional shares available for the Company to grant under the 2013 Incentive Plan as of June 30, 2017.

12. Leadership Changes

On January 7, 2016, the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer entered into a separation and transition agreement (the “Separation and Transition Agreement”) pursuant to which he separated from the Company effective March 31, 2016. The Company incurred a total cost of $1,043,000, including $331,000 of equity-based compensation expense, which was recorded to “Selling, operating and administrative expenses” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The Company’s severance and other related expenses incurred for the aforementioned leadership changes were $1,043,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, which is included in “Selling, operating and administrative expenses” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. There were no such expenses incurred during the three or six months ended June 30, 2017.

On December 31, 2014, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer retired and pursuant to the terms of the Separation and Release of Claims Agreement (the “Separation Agreement”), the Company is required to provide severance and other related benefits over a 36-month period. The Company recorded a liability, measured at its estimated fair value, for payments that will be made under the Separation Agreement, with a corresponding charge to “Selling, general and administrative expenses.” The Company incurred a total cost of $3,581,000, including $1,007,000 of equity-based compensation expense related to this retirement.

The following table presents a rollforward of the estimated fair value liability for the six months ended June 30, 2017 established for the aforementioned leadership changes (in thousands):


Balance, January 1, 2017	$	964
Severance and other related expenses		—
Accretion		14
Cash payments		(541)
Balance, June 30, 2017	$	437

13. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

The Company leases offices and equipment under noncancelable leases, subject to certain provisions for renewal options and escalation clauses.

Contingencies

In connection with the Purchase of Full House, as described in Note 5, Acquisitions and Dispositions, the Company entered into an arrangement to pay additional purchase consideration based on Motto’s future gross revenues, excluding certain fees, over the next ten years. As of June 30, 2017, this liability was estimated to be $6,230,000.

(Unaudited)

In connection with the sale of the assets and liabilities related to the Company’s previously owned brokerages, the Company entered into three Assignment and Assumption of Lease Agreements (the “Assignment Agreements”) pursuant to which the Company assigned its obligations under and rights, title and interest in 21 leases to the respective purchasers. For certain leases, the Company remains secondarily liable for future lease payments through July 2021 under the respective lease agreements and accordingly, as of June 30, 2017, the Company has outstanding lease guarantees of $4,891,000. This amount represents the maximum potential amount of future payments under the respective lease guarantees. In the event of default by the purchaser, the indemnity and default clauses in the Assignment Agreements govern the Company’s ability to pursue and recover damages incurred, if any, against the purchaser.

Litigation

The Company is subject to litigation claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes that it has adequately accrued for legal matters as appropriate. The Company records litigation accruals for legal matters which are both probable and estimable and for related legal costs as incurred. The Company does not reduce these liabilities for potential insurance or third-party recoveries.

On October 7, 2013, RE/MAX Holdings acquired the net assets, excluding cash, of Tails, Inc. (“Tails”) for consideration paid of $20,175,000. Several shareholders of Tails challenged the terms of the transaction and filed a shareholder action entitled Robert B. Fisher, Carla L. Fisher, Bradley G. Rhodes and James D. Schwartz v. Tails, Inc. in the Circuit Court of Henrico County, Virginia ("Tails I"). After the Circuit Court dismissed Tails I, the Virginia Supreme Court affirmed dismissal on January 8, 2015. On March 7, 2016, the same Tails I plaintiffs filed a complaint entitled Robert B. Fisher, Carla L. Fisher, Bradley G. Rhodes and James D. Schwartz v. Gail Liniger, Dave Liniger, Bruce Benham, RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. and Tails Holdco, Inc. in Denver District Court ("Tails II"). As amended by the Denver District Court on November 21, 2016, the Tails II Complaint alleges claims for breach of fiduciary duty and claims for interest allegedly owed. The plaintiffs are alleging total damages of approximately $5 million. The defendants intend to vigorously defend their position that the plaintiffs are not entitled to the relief sought. The Company believes the outcome of this matter is not reasonably estimable as of June 30, 2017. Accordingly, the Company currently has not recorded an accrual in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Except for the ongoing litigation concerning the acquisition of the net assets of Tails, management of the Company believes other such litigation matters involving a reasonably possible chance of loss will not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

14. Related-Party Transactions

The majority stockholders of RIHI, including the Company’s current Co-Chief Executive Officer, Chairman and Co-Founder and the Company’s Vice Chairman and Co-Founder have made and continue to make a golf course they own available to the Company for business purposes. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company used the golf course for business purposes at minimal charge.

The Company provides services, such as accounting, legal, marketing, technology, human resources and public relations services, to certain affiliated entities, and it allows these companies to share its leased office space. During the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the total amounts allocated for services rendered and rent for office space provided on behalf of affiliated entities were $717,000 and $521,000, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the total amounts allocated for services rendered and rent for office space provided on behalf of affiliated entities were $1,479,000 and $952,000, respectively. Amounts are generally paid within 30 days and no amounts were outstanding at June 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016.

Related party advertising funds had current outstanding amounts due from the Company of $14,000 and $145,000 as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Such amounts are included in “Accounts payable to affiliates” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

ended December 31, 2016. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Furthermore, such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements.

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

Business Overview

We are one of the world’s leading franchisors in the real estate industry, franchising real estate brokerages globally under the RE/MAX brand (“RE/MAX”) and mortgage brokerages within the U.S. under the Motto Mortgage brand. RE/MAX, founded in 1973, has over 115,000 agents operating in over 7,000 offices and a presence in more than 100 countries and territories. RE/MAX has held the number one market share in residential real estate in the U.S. and Canada since 1999 as measured by total residential transaction sides completed by our agents. The RE/MAX brand has the highest level of unaided brand awareness in real estate in the U.S. and Canada according to a 2016 consumer survey conducted by MMR Strategy Group, and our iconic red, white and blue RE/MAX hot air balloon is one of the most recognized real estate logos in the world. Motto Mortgage (“Motto”), founded in 2016, is the first nationwide mortgage brokerage franchise offering in the U.S.

Financial and Operational Highlights – Three Months Ended June 30, 2017

(Compared to three months ended June 30, 2016 unless otherwise noted)

 Total agent count grew by 5.7% to 116,270 agents.

 U.S. and Canada combined agent count increased 2.8% to 84,302 agents.

 Revenue of $48.8 million, up 12.5% from the prior year.

 Net income attributable to RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. of $7.5 million.

 Adjusted EBITDA of $29.2 million and Adjusted EBITDA margin of 59.7%

During the three months ended June 30, 2017, our revenue increased at a double-digit rate principally due to contributions from the six Independent Regions that were acquired during 2016 (New York, Alaska, New Jersey, Georgia, Kentucky/Tennessee and Southern Ohio, collectively, the “2016 Acquired Regions”) coupled with organic growth driven by increased agent count and pricing increases, as well as initial Motto franchise sales. Second quarter 2017 operating results also benefitted from the favorable timing of expenses. Certain investments which were initially planned for the second quarter are now anticipated to occur in the second half of 2017. We continue to focus on increasing our global agent network by continuing to enhance our value proposition, growing Motto Mortgage and expanding the Independent Regions acquired in 2016.

Compared to the prior year period, our agent count increased by 5.7% and our U.S. and Canadian agent count increased by 2.8%. The 2016 Acquired Regions experienced agent count growth of 3.3% during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and contributed $3.4 million, or 7.8%, in revenue growth.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016

Revenue

A summary of the components of our revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 is as follows:


	Three Months Ended				Change
	June 30,				Favorable/(Unfavorable)
	2017		2016		$		%
	(in thousands, except percentages)
Revenue:
Continuing franchise fees	$	23,284	$	19,846	$	3,438	17.3	%
Annual dues		8,320		8,046		274	3.4	%
Broker fees		12,555		10,384		2,171	20.9	%
Franchise sales and other franchise revenue		4,660		5,128		(468)	(9.1)	%
Total revenue	$	48,819	$	43,404	$	5,415	12.5	%

Consolidated revenue primarily increased due to the acquisitions of the 2016 Acquired Regions, which added $3.4 million or 7.8%, and organic growth, which increased revenue $2.3 million or 5.2%. Foreign currency movements offset the aforementioned by $0.2 million, or 0.6%.

Table of Contents

Continuing Franchise Fees

Revenue from continuing franchise fees increased primarily as a result of the following:

 contributions from the 2016 Acquired Regions increased continuing franchise fees $2.2 million;

 an increase of $0.6 million as a result of July 1, 2016 fee increases in our Company-owned Regions; and

 an increase of $0.4 million due to agent count growth in the U.S. and Canada.

Annual Dues

Revenue from annual dues increased due to the overall increase in total agent count. Revenue from annual dues is not affected by our acquisitions of Independent Regions because agents in the U.S. Independent Regions already pay annual dues to us in the same amounts as agents in Company-owned regions.

Broker Fees

Revenue from broker fees increased primarily due to the acquisition of the 2016 Acquired Regions which contributed a $1.2 million increase, as well as organic growth of $1.0 million driven by both the increased agent count in the U.S. and Canada and rising average home prices.

Franchise Sales and Other Franchise Revenue

Franchise sales and other franchise revenue were impacted by increases from Motto and the 2016 Acquired Regions which were more than offset by a decrease in revenue recognized from preferred marketing arrangements.

Operating Expenses

A summary of the components of our operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 is as follows:


	Three Months Ended						Change
	June 30,						Favorable/(Unfavorable)
	2017			2016			$		%
	(in thousands, except percentages)
Operating expenses:
Selling, operating and administrative expenses	$	20,637		$	18,842		$	(1,795)	(9.5)	%
Depreciation and amortization		5,397			3,872			(1,525)	(39.4)	%

Total operating expenses	$	26,022		$	22,703		$	(3,319)	(14.6)	%
Percent of revenue		53.3	%		52.3	%

Selling, Operating and Administrative Expenses

Selling, operating and administrative expenses primarily consisted of personnel costs, professional fee expenses, rent and related facility operations expense and other expenses. Other expenses include certain marketing and production costs that are not paid by our related party advertising funds, including travel and entertainment costs, costs associated with our annual conventions in the U.S. and other events.

Table of Contents

A summary of the components of our selling, operating and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 is as follows:


	Three Months Ended						Change
	June 30,						Favorable/(Unfavorable)
	2017			2016			$		%
	(in thousands, except percentages)
Selling, operating and administrative expenses:
Personnel	$	10,361		$	10,288		$	(73)	(0.7)	%
Professional fees		3,002			2,129			(873)	(41.0)	%
Rent and related facility operations		2,191			2,190			(1)	n/a
Other		5,083			4,235			(848)	(20.0)	%
Total selling, operating and administrative expenses	$	20,637		$	18,842		$	(1,795)	(9.5)	%
Percent of revenue		42.3	%		43.4	%

Total selling, operating and administrative expenses increased as follows:

 Professional fees increased primarily due to costs incurred related to the launch of Motto and increased legal fees.

 Other selling, operating and administrative expenses increased due to several items, the largest of which were costs incurred to support the 2016 Acquired Regions and investments to support our technology infrastructure.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased primarily due to amortization expense related to the franchise agreements acquired with the 2016 Acquired Regions, offset by certain acquired franchise agreements reaching the end of their contractual term in the current period.

Other Expenses, Net

A summary of the components of our other expenses, net for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, is as follows:


	Three Months Ended						Change
	June 30,						Favorable/(Unfavorable)
	2017			2016			$		%
	(in thousands, except percentages)
Other expenses, net:
Interest expense	$	(2,462)		$	(2,091)		$	(371)	(17.7)	%
Interest income		25			35			(10)	n/a
Foreign currency transaction gains		39			20			19	n/a
Total other expenses, net	$	(2,398)		$	(2,036)		$	(362)	(17.8)	%
Percent of revenue		(4.9)	%		(4.7)	%

Interest expense increased as a result of a higher principal balance of term loans outstanding under our 2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility, which replaced our 2013 Senior Secured Credit facility on December 15, 2016.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate increased to 23.3% from 23.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Our effective income tax rate depends on many factors, including a rate benefit attributable to the fact that the portion of RMCO’s earnings attributable to the non-controlling interests are not subject to corporate-level taxes because RMCO is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and therefore is treated as a “flow through entity,” as well as annual changes in state and foreign income tax rates. See Note 2 to our unaudited condensed

Table of Contents

consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further details on the allocation of income taxes between RE/MAX Holdings and the non-controlling interest.

Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interest

Net income attributable to non-controlling interest, which represents the portion of earnings attributable to the economic interest in RMCO held by RIHI, increased $0.7 million primarily due to an increase of $1.8 million in RMCO’s net income during the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to June 30, 2016.

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, which is the most comparable GAAP measure for operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA was $29.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, an increase of $3.9 million from the comparable prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA primarily increased due to:

contributions from the 2016 Acquired Regions;

an increase in revenue as a result of organic agent count growth; and

fee increases that began on July 1, 2016 to our continuing franchise fees in our Company-owned Regions.

These increases are partially offset by investments in personnel and operations to support Motto’s growth as well as a decrease in revenue recognized for preferred marketing arrangements.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016

Revenue

A summary of the components of our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 is as follows:


	Six Months Ended				Change
	June 30,				Favorable/(Unfavorable)
	2017		2016		$		%

Franchise sales and other franchise revenue		13,454		13,921		(467)	(3.4)	%
Brokerage revenue		—		112		(112)	n/a
Total revenue	$	97,048	$	86,321	$	10,727	12.4	%

Consolidated revenue primarily increased due to the acquisitions of the 2016 Acquired Regions, which added $6.6 million or 7.7%, and organic growth, which increased revenue $4.3 million or 4.9%. Foreign currency movements had an insignificant impact on revenue period-over-period.

Continuing Franchise Fees

Revenue from continuing franchise fees increased primarily as a result of the following:

 contributions from the 2016 Acquired Regions increased continuing franchise fees $4.3 million;

 an increase of $1.1 million as a result of July 1, 2016 fee increases in our Company-owned Regions; and

 an increase of $1.2 million due to agent count growth in the U.S. and Canada.

Table of Contents

Annual Dues

Broker Fees

Revenue from broker fees increased primarily due to the acquisition of the 2016 Acquired Regions, which contributed a $2.0 million increase, as well as organic growth driven by both the increased agent count in the U.S. and Canada and an increase in average home prices.

Franchise Sales and Other Franchise Revenue

The change in franchise sales and other franchise revenue was primarily due to increases from Motto, the 2016 Acquired Regions and global master franchise sales which were more than offset by a decrease in revenue recognized from preferred marketing arrangements.

Operating Expenses

A summary of the components of our operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 is as follows:

Selling, Operating and Administrative Expenses

A summary of the components of our selling, operating and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 is as follows:


	Six Months Ended						Change
	June 30,						Favorable/(Unfavorable)
	2017			2016			$		%
	(in thousands, except percentages)
Selling, operating and administrative expenses:
Personnel	$	21,602		$	21,068		$	(534)	(2.5)	%
Professional fees		6,498			4,558			(1,940)	(42.6)	%

Percent of revenue		48.9	%		48.7	%

Total selling, operating and administrative expenses increased as follows:

 Personnel costs increased $0.5 million due to personnel investments to support Motto and the 2016 Acquired Regions offset by severance and other related expenses recognized in the prior year.

Table of Contents

 Professional fees increased primarily due to costs incurred related to the launch of Motto and legal and consulting fees.

 Other selling, operating and administrative expenses increased primarily due to costs to support the 2016 Acquired Regions as well as increased costs incurred in connection with our 2017 annual convention and investments to support our technology infrastructure.

Depreciation and Amortization

Other Expenses, Net

A summary of the components of our other expenses, net for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, is as follows:


	Six Months Ended						Change
	June 30,						Favorable/(Unfavorable)
	2017			2016			$		%
	(in thousands, except percentages)
Other expenses, net:
Interest expense	$	(4,816)		$	(4,372)		$	(444)	(10.2)	%

Total other expenses, net	$	(4,750)		$	(4,238)		$	(512)	(12.1)	%
Percent of revenue		(4.9)	%		(4.9)	%

Other expenses, net increased mainly due to higher interest expense as a result of an increase in the principal balance of term debt outstanding under our 2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility, which replaced our 2013 Senior Secured Credit facility on December 15, 2016, and a decrease in foreign currency transaction gains that were primarily a result of the strengthening of the Canadian dollar which was not as significant as it had been in the prior year.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate remained consistent at 23.3% for both the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. Our effective income tax rate depends on many factors, including a rate benefit attributable to the fact that the portion of RMCO’s earnings attributable to the non-controlling interests are not subject to corporate-level taxes because RMCO is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and therefore is treated as a “flow through entity,” as well as annual changes in state and foreign income tax rates. See Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further details on the allocation of income taxes between RE/MAX Holdings and the non-controlling interest.

Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interest

Net income attributable to non-controlling interest, which represents the portion of earnings attributable to the economic interest in RMCO held by RIHI, increased $0.4 million primarily due to an increase of $1.0 million in RMCO’s net income during the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to June 30, 2016.

Adjusted EBITDA

Table of Contents

Adjusted EBITDA was $51.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, an increase of $5.4 million from the comparable prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA primarily increased due to:

contributions from the 2016 Acquired Regions;

an increase in revenue as a result of organic agent count growth;

fee increases that began on July 1, 2016 to our continuing franchise fees in our Company-owned Regions; and

an increase in organic franchise sales

These increases are partially offset by investments in personnel and operations to support Motto’s growth as well as a decrease in revenue recognized for preferred marketing arrangements.

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. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), such as Adjusted EBITDA and the ratios related thereto. These measures are derived on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA (consolidated net income 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: loss or gain on sale or disposition of assets and sublease, loss on early extinguishment of debt, equity-based compensation expense, professional fees and certain expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of Class A common stock as a result of RIHI’s redemption of common units in RMCO and acquisition related expenses. During the first quarter of 2017, we revised our definition of Adjusted EBITDA to better reflect the performance of our business and comply with SEC guidance. We now adjust for equity-based compensation expense and no longer adjust for straight-line rent expense and severance related expenses. Adjusted EBITDA was revised in prior periods to reflect this change for consistency in presentation.

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

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

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

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

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

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

 these measures do not reflect the cash requirements to pay RIHI and Oberndorf pursuant to the TRAs;

 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;

Table of Contents

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.

A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income for our consolidated results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 is set forth in the following table:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview of Factors Affecting Our Liquidity

Our liquidity position has been positively affected by the growth of our agent base and improving conditions in the real estate market. In this regard, our short-term liquidity position from time to time has been, and will continue to be, affected by the number of agents in the RE/MAX network. Our cash flows are primarily related to the timing of:


(i)	cash receipt of revenues;
(ii)	payment of selling, operating and administrative expenses;
(iii)	cash consideration for acquisitions and acquisition-related expenses;
(iv)	principal payments and related interest payments on our 2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility and 2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility;
(v)	dividend payments to stockholders of our Class A common stock;
(vi)	distributions and other payments to non-controlling unitholders pursuant to the terms of RMCO’s fourth amended and restated limited liability company operating agreement (“the New RMCO, LLC Agreement”);
(vii)	corporate tax payments paid by the Company; and
(viii)	payments to the TRA Parties pursuant to the TRAs.

We have satisfied these needs primarily through our existing cash balances, cash generated by our operations and funds available under our 2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility.

Financing Resources

On December 15, 2016, RE/MAX, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of RMCO, entered into a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and various lenders party thereto (the “2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility”), which amended and restated the 2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility. The 2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility provides to RE/MAX, LLC $235.0 million in term loans and a $10.0 million revolving facility.

The 2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility requires RE/MAX, LLC to repay term loans and reduce revolving commitments with (i) 100.0% of proceeds of any incurrence of additional debt not permitted by the 2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility, (ii) 100.0% of proceeds of asset sales and 100.0% of amounts recovered under insurance policies, subject to certain exceptions and a reinvestment right and (iii) 50.0% of excess cash flow at the end of the applicable fiscal year if RE/MAX, LLC’s total leverage ratio as defined in the 2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility is in excess of 3.25:1.00, with such percentage decreasing as RE/MAX, LLC’s leverage ratio decreases. The 2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility required RE/MAX, LLC to repay term loans with 50% of excess cash flow at the end of the applicable year if its total leverage ratio as defined therein was in excess of 2.50:1.00, with such percentage decreasing as RE/MAX, LLC’s leverage ratio decreased.

The 2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility is guaranteed by RMCO and RE/MAX of Western Canada (1998), LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of RE/MAX, LLC, and is secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of RMCO, RE/MAX, LLC and each guarantor.

Borrowings under the term loans and revolving loans accrue interest, at London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), provided that LIBOR shall be no less than 0.75% plus a maximum applicable margin of 2.75%.

RE/MAX, LLC had entered into the 2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility, which was paid off when RE/MAX, LLC amended and restated the 2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility by entering into the 2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility, in July 2013 with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and various lenders party thereto. Under the

Table of Contents

2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility, RE/MAX, LLC had borrowed $230.0 million in term loans and had a revolving line of credit available of up to $10.0 million.

The 2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility, like the 2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility, provides for customary restrictions on, among other things, additional indebtedness, liens, dispositions of property, dividends, transactions with affiliates and fundamental changes such as mergers, consolidations and liquidations. With certain exceptions, any default under any of our other agreements evidencing indebtedness in the amount of $15.0 million or more constitutes an event of default under the 2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility. Certain of the restrictions under the 2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility are less restrictive, as compared with the comparable terms in the 2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility.

The 2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility restricts the aggregate acquisition consideration for permitted acquisitions, in a situation in which RE/MAX, LLC would not be in pro forma compliance with a 3.5:1.0 total leverage ratio (based on how such term is defined therein), to $100.0 million in any fiscal year. The 2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility also provides for incremental facilities, subject to lender participation, as long as the total leverage ratio (calculated as net debt to EBITDA as defined therein) remains below 4.00:1.00.

As of June 30, 2017, RE/MAX, LLC had $229.9 million of term loans outstanding, net of an unamortized discount and issuance costs, and no revolving loans outstanding under our 2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility. If any loan or other amounts are outstanding under the revolving line of credit, the 2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility requires compliance with a leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio. A commitment fee of 0.5% per annum accrues on the amount of unutilized revolving line of credit.

Sources and Uses of Cash

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had $70.3 million and $57.6 million, respectively of cash and cash equivalents, of which approximately $14.2 million and $11.6 million were denominated in foreign currencies, respectively.

The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities:

Net change in cash and cash equivalents	$	12,708	$	(12,638)	$	25,346

Operating Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, cash provided by operating activities increased primarily as a result of an increase in Adjusted EBITDA of $5.4 million. Also impacting cash flows from operating activities were:

 the February 2016 payment of $3.3 million to satisfy liabilities from a litigation judgment that did not recur in the current year period;

an increase in cash paid for taxes and interest of $2.3 million in the current period; and

 timing differences on various other operating assets and liabilities.

Table of Contents

Investing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, cash used in investing activities decreased primarily as a result of the acquisitions of RE/MAX of New York and RE/MAX of Alaska in the first half of 2016 and a reduction in the investments in our information technology infrastructure.

Financing Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2017 cash used in financing activities decreased as a result of:

 a decrease of $12.7 million due to the excess cash flow prepayment made on the 2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility in March 2016 for which a similar payment was not made in 2017 pursuant to the revised terms of the 2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility; partially offset by

 an increase of $1.9 million in cash paid to Class A common stockholders and non-controlling unitholders due to our Board of Directors declaring a dividend of $0.18 per share on all outstanding shares of Class A common stock in the first and second quarters of 2017 compared to a dividend of $0.15 per share on all outstanding shares of Class A common stock in the first and second quarters of 2016 and an increase in tax and other distributions paid to non-controlling unitholders of $1.3 million.

Cash Priorities

Liquidity

Our objective is to maintain a strong liquidity position. We have existing cash balances, cash flows from operating activities, access to our revolving line of credit and incremental facilities under our 2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility available to support the needs of our business.

Acquisitions

As part of our growth strategy we may pursue reacquisitions of regional franchise rights in Independent Regions in the U.S. and Canada as well as additional acquisitions or investments in complementary businesses, services and technologies that would provide access to new markets or customers, or otherwise complement our existing operations. We would fund any such growth with existing cash balances, funds generated from operations and access to our revolving line of credit and incremental facilities under our 2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility.

Capital Expenditures

The total aggregate amount paid for purchases of property and equipment and purchased and developed software was $1.3 million and $2.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Amounts paid for purchases of property, equipment and software primarily related to investments in our information technology infrastructure and leasehold improvements. In order to expand our technological capabilities, 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 franchisees and agents in our network. Total capital expenditures for 2017 is expected to be between $4.5 million and $5.5 million.

Dividends

Our Board of Directors declared and paid quarterly cash dividends of $0.18 per share on all outstanding shares of Class A common stock during the first and second quarters in 2017, as disclosed in Note 4 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. On August 2, 2017, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.18 per share on all outstanding shares of Class A common stock, which is payable on August 30, 2017 to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 16, 2017. The declaration of additional future dividends, and, if declared, the amount of any such future dividend, will be subject to our actual future earnings and capital requirements and will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors; however, we currently intend to continue to pay a cash dividend on shares of Class A common stock on a quarterly basis.

Table of Contents

Distributions and Other Payments to Non-controlling Unitholders (RIHI, Inc.)

Distributions to Non-Controlling Unitholders Pursuant to the New RMCO, LLC Agreement

As authorized by the New RMCO, LLC Agreement, RMCO makes cash distributions to its unitholders, RE/MAX Holdings and RIHI, also referred to as its members. In accordance with the New RMCO, LLC Agreement, distributions are required to be made by RMCO to its members on a pro-rata basis in accordance with each members’ ownership percentage in RMCO. These distributions have historically been either in the form of payments to cover its members’ estimated tax liabilities, dividend payments, or payments to ensure pro-rata distributions have occurred.

As a limited liability company (treated as a partnership for income tax purposes), RMCO does not incur significant domestic federal, state or local income taxes, as these taxes are primarily the obligations of its members. RMCO is generally required to distribute cash to its members to cover each member’s estimated tax liabilities, if any, with respect to their allocable share of RMCO earnings. Such distributions are required if any other distributions from RMCO (i.e., in the form of dividend payments) for the relevant period are otherwise insufficient to enable each member to cover its estimated tax liabilities.

RE/MAX Holdings’ only source of cash flow from operations is in the form of distributions from RMCO. RE/MAX Holdings receives distributions from RMCO on a quarterly basis that are equal to the dividend payments RE/MAX Holdings’ make to the stockholders of its Class A common stock. As a result, absent any additional distributions, RE/MAX Holdings may have insufficient funds to cover its estimated tax and TRA liabilities. Therefore, as necessary, RMCO makes a separate distribution to RE/MAX Holdings, and because all distributions must be made on a pro-rata basis, RIHI receives a separate payment to ensure such pro-rata distributions have occurred.

Throughout the year until completion of its tax returns with respect to such year, RMCO may pay required or pro-rata true-up distributions to its members, if cash is available for such purposes, with respect to actual taxable income for the year. See Note 3 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further details on distributions made by RMCO.

Payments Pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement

In connection with the IPO, we entered into two TRAs, which resulted in the recognition of a $97.0 million liability as of June 30, 2017. Of the $97.0 million liability recorded as of June 30, 2017, $32.5 million relates to RIHI’s exchange of 5,175,000 common units for shares of our Class A common stock in the fourth quarter of 2015. The liability pursuant to the TRAs will increase in the future upon future exchanges by RIHI of RMCO common units, with the increase representing 85% of the estimated future tax benefits, if any, resulting from such exchanges. We receive funding from RMCO in order to fund the payment of amounts due under the TRAs.

The actual payments, and associated tax benefits, will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the timing of exchanges by RIHI, the price of our Class A common stock at the time of such exchanges, the amount and timing of the taxable income we generate in the future and the tax rate then applicable. We expect to make additional payments of approximately $11.4 million in 2017 related to the TRAs.

Commitments and Contingencies

Except for the outstanding lease guarantees acquired in connection with the dispositions of our previously owned brokerages and the ongoing litigation concerning our acquisition of the net assets of Tails as disclosed in Note 13 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our management does not believe there are any other litigation matters involving us that could result, individually or in the aggregate, in a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no material off balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2017.

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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, for which there were no material changes, included:

 Goodwill

 Franchise Agreements and Other Intangible Assets

 Purchase Accounting for Acquisitions

 Contingent Consideration

 Income Tax Accounting

 Payments Pursuant to the TRAs

 General Litigation Matters

New Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from all leases on the consolidated balance sheets. ASU 2016-02 is required to be adopted by us on January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual reporting period. The standard requires a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the

Table of Contents

financial statements. We have not yet determined the effect of the standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), with several subsequent amendments, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. We will adopt this standard on January 1, 2018. We expect the adoption of the new guidance to change the timing of recognition of franchise sales and franchise renewal revenue. Currently, we recognize revenue upon completion of a sale or renewal. Under the new guidance, franchise sales and renewal revenue, which are included in Franchise Sales and Other Franchise Revenue in the Consolidated Statement of Income, will be recognized over the contractual term of the franchise agreement. We currently anticipate that we will utilize the full retrospective transition method, however, this expectation may change following the completion of our evaluation of the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Other than the items noted above, there have been no new accounting pronouncements not yet effective that we believe have a significant impact, or potential significant impact, to our consolidated financial statements.

See Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for recently issued accounting pronouncements applicable to us and the effect of those standards on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks

We have operations both within the U.S. 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 inflation risks, as well as risks relating to changes in the general economic conditions in the countries where we conduct business. To reduce certain of these risks, we monitor the financial condition of our large franchisees. In addition, our investment strategy has been to invest in financial instruments that are highly liquid and mature within three months from the date of purchase. We do not currently use derivative instruments to mitigate the impact of our market risk exposures nor do we use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

We are subject to interest rate risk in connection with borrowings under our 2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility which bear interest at variable rates. At June 30, 2017, $233.2 million in term loans were outstanding under our 2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2017, the undrawn borrowing availability under the revolving line of credit under our 2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility was $10.0 million. 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 2016 Senior Secured Credit Facility entered into in December 2016 is currently based on LIBOR, subject to a floor of 0.75%, plus an applicable margin of 2.75%. As of June 30, 2017, the interest rate was 4.05%. If LIBOR rises, then each hypothetical 0.125% increase would result in additional annual interest expense of $0.3 million.

Currency Risk

We have a network of global franchisees in over 100 countries and territories. Fees imposed on independent franchisees and agents in foreign countries are charged in the local currency. Fluctuations in exchange rates of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies and cash held in foreign currencies can result, and have resulted, in fluctuations in our operating income and foreign exchange transaction gains and losses, with the Canadian dollar representing the most significant exposure. We currently do not engage in any foreign exchange hedging activity but may do so in the future. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, 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 pre-tax income of approximately $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

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 by a company in the reports that it files or submits 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 by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act 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, with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2017. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2017, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

PART II. – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time we are involved in litigation, claims and other proceedings relating to the conduct of our business. Litigation and other disputes are inherently unpredictable and subject to substantial uncertainties and unfavorable resolutions could occur. We do not believe we have any currently pending litigation of which the outcome will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operations; however, litigation and other claims and regulatory proceedings against us could result in unexpected expenses and liability and could also materially adversely affect our operations and our reputation.
