“We delivered solid third quarter results that reflect our strength in navigating ongoing market complexities,” said Hessam Nadji, President and Chief Executive Officer of Marcus & Millichap. “Our fifth consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue growth was driven by expanded client outreach, leading research content and gradually improving bid/ask spreads. MMI’s private client business showed particular strength in both sales and financing as banks and credit unions continued to expand lending. At the same time, the company’s expansion into larger transactions remains on track despite tough year-over-year comparisons driven by outsized revenue growth in the segment last year.”

Mr. Nadji continued, “We are encouraged by our strong pipeline, improved hiring and the company’s near record exclusive inventory levels. Although the 10-year Treasury yield has not been as responsive to the Fed’s recent rate cut compared to a year ago, the more accommodative stance supports further improvement in trading volumes. We remain focused on productivity growth through technology and AI investments, strategic acquisitions and growing the MMI brand to drive long-term value for our clients and shareholders.”

Third Quarter 2025 Results Compared to Third Quarter 2024

Total revenue for the third quarter 2025 was $193.9 million, an increase of 15.1%, compared to $168.5 million for the same period in the prior year.

For real estate brokerage commissions, revenue was $162.2 million, an increase of 14.2%, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily attributed to a 19.2% increase in the total number of transactions and a 28 basis point increase in the average commission rate earned, partially offset by a 2.0% decrease in total sales volume compared to the third quarter 2024. The increase in the average commission rate was due to the revenue shift from the Middle Market and Larger Transaction Market to the Private Client Market, which generally earns higher commission. The Private Client Market revenue increased by 16.9%, while the combined Middle Market and Larger Transaction Market revenue increased by 6.5%.

For financing fees, revenue was $26.3 million, an increase of 27.7%, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily attributed to a 34.4% increase in total financing volume, partially offset by a four basis point decrease in the average fee rate earned compared to the third quarter 2024.

Total operating expenses for the third quarter 2025 were $196.3 million, compared to $180.0 million for the same period in the prior year. The change was primarily due to an increase of $16.2 million in cost of services. Cost of services as a percentage of total revenue increased by 20 basis points to 62.4% compared to the same period during prior year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter 2025 were $72.5 million, compared to $70.7 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to a $4.0 million accrual related to an ongoing litigation matter, partially offset by a decrease in compensation related costs.

Net income for the third quarter 2025 was $0.2 million, or $0.01 per common share, diluted, compared to a net loss of $5.4 million, or $0.14 per common share, diluted, for the same period in the prior year. Earnings per common share, diluted, includes $0.08 loss per common share accrual for litigation. Adjusted EBITDA increased by $6.9 million from approximately breakeven, primarily as a result of the increase in operating income.

Nine Months 2025 Results Compared to Nine Months 2024

Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $511.2 million, compared to $456.0 million for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $55.2 million, or 12.1%. Total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 increased by 9.0% to $540.3 million compared to $495.6 million for the same period in the prior year. Cost of services as a percentage of total revenues increased to 61.8%, up 50 basis points compared to the first nine months of 2024. The Company’s net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $15.2 million, or $0.39 per common share, diluted, compared to $20.9 million, or $0.54 per common share, diluted for the same period in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $(0.4) million compared to $(8.7) million for the same period in the prior year. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had 1,669 investment sales and financing professionals, compared to 1,678 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, which was paid on October 6, 2025, to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 15, 2025.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company repurchased 264,554 shares of common stock at an average price of $30.33 per share for a total price of $8.0 million. Since August 2022, the Company has repurchased 2,405,976 shares of common stock at an average price of $32.03 per share for a total price of $77.1 million.

After accounting for shares repurchased through November 4, 2025, Marcus & Millichap has approximately $59.0 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 Company believes 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 return to 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 still potentially 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 U.S. 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 cost of 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 income (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 income (loss), operating income (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):
