“Our second-quarter results reflect the resilience and adaptability of our platform during a period of continued global market volatility and tariff-related uncertainty,” said Hessam Nadji, President and Chief Executive Officer of Marcus & Millichap. “We experienced a notable increase in activity within our Private Client segment along with a very strong performance in our financing business, all supported by gradually improving capital availability and gradual narrowing of bid/ask spreads. Decline in larger transactions comes after a rapid recovery in the segment averaging 38% year-over-year revenue growth in the past four quarters creating a tough comparison. We continue to see growth opportunity in our core private client and larger transaction segments.”

Mr. Nadji continued, “Although the pace of recovery remains uneven and investor sentiment is still cautious, we are encouraged by a growing pipeline of listings and incremental gains in transaction activity in all price segments. Real estate fundamentals remain healthy, with demand holding steady and new supply remaining disciplined in most sectors and declining in apartments and industrial which have been the most active. We continue to prioritize operational efficiency, strategic investment in our platform, and long-term value creation for our clients and shareholders as we navigate this evolving environment.”

Second Quarter 2025 Results Compared to Second Quarter 2024

Total revenue for the second quarter 2025 was $172.3 million, an increase of 8.8%, compared to $158.4 million for the same period in the prior year.

For real estate brokerage commissions, revenue was $141.4 million, an increase of 4.4%, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily attributed to an 11.8% increase in total sales volume, partially offset by a 13 basis point decrease in the average commission rate earned compared to the second quarter 2024. Private Client Market revenue increased by 10.3%, while the combined Middle Market and Larger Transaction Market revenue decreased by 6.6%.

For financing fees, revenue was $26.3 million, an increase of 43.5%, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily attributed to an 86.0% increase in total financing volume, partially offset by a 12 basis point decrease in the average fee rate earned compared to the second quarter 2024.

Total operating expenses for the second quarter 2025 were $181.3 million, compared to $166.4 million for the same period in the prior year. The change was primarily due to an increase of $8.5 million in cost of services and a $6.6 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses. Cost of services as a percentage of total revenue was 61.9% for the second quarters of both 2025 and 2024.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter 2025 were $71.6 million, compared to $65.0 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to (i) an increase in compensation-related costs (ii) increased investment in business development, marketing and other support related to the long-term talent acquisition and retention of our investment sales and financing professionals and (iii) a change in valuation of deferred contingent consideration.

The loss before provision for income taxes for the second quarter 2025 was $3.7 million, which is comparable to $3.4 million for the same period in the prior year. Net loss for the second quarter 2025 was $11.0 million, or $0.28 per common share, diluted, compared to a net loss of $5.5 million, or $0.14 per common share, diluted, for the same period in the prior year.

The loss per common share, diluted, of $0.28, includes $0.19 of provision for income taxes, primarily related to a change in tax methodology.

The Company calculated its income taxes for the second quarter of 2025 based on the actual year-to-date method as it was determined to be a more appropriate method than the annual effective tax rate (“AETR”) method used in prior periods. This change was made because nominal changes to projected pre-tax earnings can result in significant variability in the quarterly tax provisions under the AETR method. The net loss for the second quarter 2025 of $11.0 million includes a provision for income taxes of $7.3 million, which is primarily related to this change in the quarterly tax methodology.

Adjusted EBITDA was comparable at $1.5 million for the second quarter 2025 and $1.4 million for the second quarter 2024.

Six Months 2025 Results Compared to Six Months 2024

Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were $317.3 million, compared to $287.5 million for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $29.8 million, or 10.4%. Total operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased by 9.0% to $344.1 million compared to $315.6 million for the same period in the prior year. Cost of services as a percentage of total revenues increased to 61.4%, up 50 basis points compared to the first six months of 2024. The Company’s net loss for both the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024 was $15.5 million, or $0.40 per common share, diluted. Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $(7.3) million compared to $(8.6) million for the same period in the prior year. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had 1,640 investment sales and financing professionals, compared to 1,726 at the end of the same period last year.

Capital Allocation

On July 31, 2025, the Board of Directors declared a semi-annual regular dividend of $0.25 per share, or approximately $10.2 million, with a payment date of October 6, 2025, to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 15, 2025.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company repurchased 242,821 shares of common stock at an average price of $30.47 per share for a total price of $7.4 million. Since August 2022, the Company has repurchased 2,384,243 shares of common stock at an average price of $32.06 per share for a total price of $76.4 million.

After accounting for shares repurchased through August 4, 2025, Marcus & Millichap has approximately $63.6 million available to repurchase shares under its share repurchase program. No time limit has been established for the completion of the share repurchase program, and the repurchases are expected to be executed from time-to-time, through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions, including through Rule 10b5-1 plans, subject to general business and market conditions and other investment opportunities.

Business Outlook

Notwithstanding the ongoing price discovery and wider than normal bid/ask spreads, the commercial real estate transaction market is poised to overcome the near-term challenges which are currently expected to extend through 2025. Accordingly, the Company believes it remains well-positioned to achieve long-term growth.

The Company benefits from its experienced management team, infrastructure investments, industry-leading market research and proprietary technology. The size and fragmentation of the Private Client Market continues to offer long-term growth opportunities through consolidation. This highly fragmented market segment consistently accounts for over 80% of all U.S. commercial property transactions and over 60% of the commission pool. The top 10 brokerage firms led by MMI had an estimated 19% share of this segment by transaction count in 2024.

Key factors that may influence the Company’s business during the remainder of 2025 include:

• Volatility in transactional activity and investor sentiment driven by:
  • The elevated and still volatile cost of debt capital
  • Interest rate uncertainty, the potential for rising inflation and the heightened bid-ask spread between buyers and sellers
  • Risks of a potential recession and its unfavorable impact to commercial real estate space demand
  • Possible impact to market sentiment related to the new U.S. presidential administration’s tariff, immigration and other policy changes which may influence transaction velocity and/or future fluctuations in interest rates, sales and financing activity
  • Increases in operating expenses driven by labor costs, insurance, taxes and construction materials
• The implementation of new tax laws, many of which are beneficial to commercial real estate investors
• Volatility in the markets in which the Company operates
• Increases in costs related to in-person events, client meetings, and conferences
• Global geopolitical uncertainty, which may cause investors to refrain from transacting
• The potential for acquisition activity and subsequent integration

Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation

Adjusted EBITDA, which the Company defines as net loss before (i) interest income and other, including net realized gains (losses) on marketable debt securities, available-for-sale and cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, (ii) interest expense, (iii) provision (benefit) for income taxes, (iv) depreciation and amortization, and (v) stock-based compensation. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA in its business operations to evaluate the performance of its business, develop budgets and measure its performance against those budgets, among other things. The Company also believes that analysts and investors use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to evaluate its overall operating performance. However, Adjusted EBITDA has material limitations as a supplemental metric and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company finds Adjusted EBITDA to be a useful management metric to assist in evaluating performance, because Adjusted EBITDA eliminates items related to capital structure, taxes and non-cash items. Considering the foregoing limitations, the Company does not rely solely on Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure and also considers its U.S. GAAP results. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of the Company’s financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net loss, operating loss or any other measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated in the same manner by all companies, it may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.

A reconciliation of the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, net loss, to Adjusted EBITDA is as follows (in thousands):
