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

 

“Our strategy is working and is beginning to yield results even though 2025 marked the third consecutive year of a historically tough housing market in the United States and Canada. We exited 2025 with strong momentum across both of our networks, driven by record global agent count growth, our best fourth quarter U.S. agent performance since 2021, and a renewed excitement for the REMAX brand given enhancements to our overall value proposition. In January we also saw the largest conversion in our history as nearly 1,200 agents led by visionary entrepreneurs chose to join our market-leading brand in Canada, an exciting start to the year,” said Erik Carlson, Chief Executive Officer.

 

RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. – Fourth Quarter 2025 Page 1 of 16

 

Carlson continued, “Engagement throughout REMAX reflects growing enthusiasm for the recent strategic investments in our brand, including our Marketing as a Service and Lead Concierge platforms, reinforcing our confidence as we enter the year ahead. At the same time, we continue to operate the business with discipline, with fourth quarter profit and margin performance at the high end of our expectations. As signs of modest improvement in home sales activity are starting to emerge, we believe our networks are well positioned to capitalize on a recovering market, and we will continue to be laser focused on supporting our networks to win more business, in less time, and more profitably.”

 

Fourth Quarter 2025 Operating Results

 

Agent Count

 

The following table compares agent count as of December 31, 2025 and 2024:

 

    As of December 31,     Change  
    2025     2024     #     %  
U.S.     48,165       51,286       (3,121 )     (6.1 )
Canada     24,812       25,171       (359 )     (1.4 )
Subtotal     72,977       76,457       (3,480 )     (4.6 )
Outside the U.S. & Canada     75,683       70,170       5,513       7.9  
Total     148,660       146,627       2,033       1.4  

 

Revenue

 

RE/MAX Holdings generated revenue of $71.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, a decrease of $1.3 million, or 1.8%, compared to $72.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds was $53.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 0.4%, versus the same period in 2024. The decrease in Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds was attributable to a decline in organic revenue of 0.4%. The decline in organic revenue was driven mainly by a reduction in U.S. agent count and recently introduced incentives related to modifications to the Company’s standard fee models, including Aspire, partially offset by an increase in Broker fees due to: (1) the impact of recognizing Broker fees ratably throughout the year in the U.S. and Canada for capped programs like Aspire; (2) an increase in Broker Fees related to modifications to the Company’s standard fee models, including Aspire, which resulted in an offsetting decrease to Continuing franchise fees and to a lesser extent Marketing Funds fees; and (3) higher average home sales prices in the U.S., an increase in revenue from marketing as a service (“MaaS”) and an increase from advertising revenue on the Company’s flagship websites.

 

Recurring revenue streams, which consist of continuing franchise fees and annual dues, decreased $3.2 million, or 8.5%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 and accounted for 64.3% of Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to 69.9% in the prior-year period.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Total operating expenses were $61.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, a decrease of $6.4 million, or 9.4%, compared to $68.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Fourth quarter 2025 total operating expenses decreased primarily due to lower Settlement and impairment charges, Marketing Funds expenses, and Depreciation and amortization expenses, partially offset by higher Selling, operating and administrative expenses.

 

Selling, operating and administrative expenses were $37.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, an increase of $1.6 million, or 4.4%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 and represented 69.7% of Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds, compared to 66.5% in the prior-year period. Fourth quarter 2025 Selling, operating and administrative expenses increased primarily due to losses on sale and disposal of assets, increase in expenses from timing of other events, partially offset by a reduction in certain personnel-related expenses.

Net Income and GAAP EPS

 

Net income attributable to RE/MAX Holdings was $1.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to net income of $5.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. Reported basic and diluted GAAP earnings per share were $0.07 each for the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to basic and diluted GAAP earnings per share were $0.31 and $0.29, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2024.

 

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS

 

Adjusted EBITDA was $22.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, a decrease of $0.9 million, or 4.0%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. Fourth quarter 2025 Adjusted EBITDA decreased due to an increase in certain personnel-related expenses and lower revenue, partially offset by a decrease in bad debt expense. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 31.5% in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to 32.2% in the fourth quarter of 2024.

 

Adjusted basic and diluted EPS were $0.31 and $0.30 respectively for the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to Adjusted basic and diluted EPS of $0.32 and $0.30, respectively for the fourth quarter of 2024. The ownership structure used to calculate Adjusted basic and diluted EPS for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, assumes RE/MAX Holdings owned 100% of RMCO, LLC (“RMCO”). The weighted average ownership RE/MAX Holdings had in RMCO was 61.5% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025.

 

Balance Sheet

 

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $118.7 million, an increase of $22.1 million from December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $436.8 million of outstanding debt, net of an unamortized debt discount and issuance costs, compared to $440.8 million as of December 31, 2024.

 

Share Repurchases and Retirement

 

As previously disclosed, in January 2022 the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a common stock repurchase program of up to $100 million. During the three months ending December 31, 2025, the Company did not repurchase any shares. As of December 31, 2025, $62.5 million remained available under the share repurchase program.

 

Outlook

 

The Company’s first quarter and full year 2026 Outlook assumes no further currency movements, acquisitions, or divestitures.

 

For the first quarter of 2026, RE/MAX Holdings expects:

§ Agent count to increase 1.50% to 2.50% over first quarter 2025;
§ Revenue in a range of $69.0 million to $74.0 million (including revenue from the Marketing Funds in a range of $16.0 million to $18.0 million); and
§ Adjusted EBITDA in a range of $14.0 million to $17.0 million.

 

For the full year 2026, the Company now expects:

§ Revenue in a range of $285.0 million to $305.0 million (including revenue from the Marketing Funds in a range of $66.0 million to $70.0 million), and

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

The SEC has adopted rules to regulate the use in filings with the SEC and in public disclosures of financial measures that are not in accordance with U.S. GAAP, such as Revenue excluding the Marketing Funds, Adjusted EBITDA and the ratios related thereto, Adjusted net income (loss), Adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share (Adjusted EPS) and adjusted free cash flow. These measures are derived based on methodologies other than in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 

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

 

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA (consolidated net income before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and the provision for income taxes, each of which is presented in the unaudited consolidated financial statements included earlier in this press release), adjusted for the impact of the following items that are either non-cash or that the Company does not consider representative of its ongoing operating performance: loss or gain on sale or disposition of assets, settlement and impairment charges, equity-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expense, gain on reduction in tax receivable agreement liability, expense or income related to changes in the estimated fair value measurement of contingent consideration, restructuring charges and other non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue.

 

Because Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin omit certain non-cash items and other non-recurring cash charges or other items, the Company believes that each measure is less susceptible to variances that affect its operating performance resulting from depreciation, amortization and other non-cash and non-recurring cash charges or other items. The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA and the related Adjusted EBITDA margin because the Company believes they are useful as supplemental measures in evaluating the performance of its operating businesses and provides greater transparency into the Company’s results of operations. The Company’s management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as factors in evaluating the performance of the business.

 

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

 

· these measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company’s working capital needs;

 

· these measures do not reflect the Company’s interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on its debt;

 

· these measures do not reflect the Company’s income tax expense or the cash requirements to pay its taxes;

 

RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. – Fourth Quarter 2025 Page 14 of 16

 

· these measures do not reflect the cash requirements to pay dividends to stockholders of the Company’s Class A common stock and tax and other cash distributions to its non-controlling unitholders;

 

· these measures do not reflect the cash requirements pursuant to the tax receivable agreements;

 

· these measures do not reflect the cash requirements for share repurchases;

 

· these measures do not reflect the cash requirements for the settlements of certain industry class-action lawsuits and other legal settlements;

 

· although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often require replacement in the future, and these measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

 

· although equity-based compensation is a non-cash charge, the issuance of equity-based awards may have a dilutive impact on earnings per share; and

 

· other companies may calculate these measures differently so similarly named measures may not be comparable.

 

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

 

Adjusted net income (loss) is calculated as Net income (loss) attributable to RE/MAX Holdings, assuming the full exchange of all outstanding non-controlling interests for shares of Class A common stock as of the beginning of the period (and the related increase to the provision for income taxes after such exchange), plus primarily non-cash items and other items that management does not consider to be useful in assessing the Company’s operating performance (e.g., amortization of acquired intangible assets, gain on sale or disposition of assets, non-cash impairment charges, acquisition-related expense, restructuring charges and equity-based compensation expense).

 

Adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share (Adjusted EPS) are calculated as Adjusted net income (loss) (as defined above) divided by pro forma (assuming the full exchange of all outstanding non-controlling interests) basic and diluted weighted average shares, as applicable.

 

RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. – Fourth Quarter 2025 Page 15 of 16

 

When used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted EPS are supplemental measures of operating performance that management believes are useful measures to evaluate the Company’s performance relative to the performance of its competitors as well as performance period over period. By assuming the full exchange of all outstanding non-controlling interests, management believes these measures:

 

· facilitate comparisons with other companies that do not have a low effective tax rate driven by a non-controlling interest on a pass-through entity;

 

· facilitate period over period comparisons because they eliminate the effect of changes in Net income attributable to RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. driven by increases in its ownership of RMCO, LLC, which are unrelated to the Company’s operating performance; and

 

· eliminate primarily non-cash and other items that management does not consider to be useful in assessing the Company’s operating performance.

 

Adjusted free cash flow is calculated as cash flows from operations less capital expenditures and any changes in restricted cash of the Marketing Funds, all as reported under GAAP, and quantifies how much cash a company has to pursue opportunities that enhance shareholder value. The restricted cash of the Marketing Funds is limited in use for the benefit of franchisees and any impact to adjusted free cash flow is removed. The Company believes adjusted free cash flow is useful to investors as a supplemental measure as it calculates the cash flow available for working capital needs, re-investment opportunities, potential Independent Region and strategic acquisitions, dividend payments or other strategic uses of cash.

 

Adjusted free cash flow after tax and non-dividend distributions to RIHI, Inc. (“RIHI”), an entity majority owned and controlled by David Liniger, our Chairman and Co-Founder, and by Gail Liniger, our Vice Chair Emerita and Co-Founder, is calculated as adjusted free cash flow less tax and other non-dividend distributions paid to RIHI (the non-controlling interest holder) to enable RIHI to satisfy its income tax obligations. Similar payments would be made by the Company directly to federal and state taxing authorities as a component of the Company’s consolidated provision for income taxes if a full exchange of non-controlling interests occurred in the future. As a result and given the significance of the Company’s ongoing tax and non-dividend distribution obligations to its non-controlling interest, adjusted free cash flow after tax and non-dividend distributions, when used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, provides a meaningful view of cash flow available to the Company to pursue opportunities that enhance shareholder value.

 

Unencumbered cash generated is calculated as adjusted free cash flow after tax and non-dividend distributions to RIHI less quarterly debt principal payments less annual excess cash flow payment on debt, as applicable. Given the significance of the Company’s excess cash flow payment on debt, when applicable, unencumbered cash generated, when used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, provides a meaningful view of the cash flow available to the Company to pursue opportunities that enhance shareholder value after considering its debt service obligations.
