PART III — NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q,
10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) was unable to
file, without unreasonable effort or expense, its Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q (the “Form 10-Q”) for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 (the
“Third Quarter”) by November 9, 2021, the original due date for such filing.
As previously announced in the
Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 3,
2021, and in Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on
October 6, 2021, the Company is
in the process of evaluating the materiality of the change to the purchase accounting for six independent regions acquired between 2007
and 2017. While the Company has made substantial progress with respect to its evaluation, the work is not yet complete given the complexity
of the analysis and number of transactions involved.
The
Company continues to believe that the change to purchase accounting will not affect previously reported revenue, Adjusted EBITDA1,
Adjusted Earnings Per Share1, accounts receivable, or cash balances. However,
the change may affect the Company’s balance sheet and net income, and the Company has not completed its quarter closing and review process. As a result, the Company is currently unable to finalize its
financial results for the Third Quarter. The Company believes that the change to purchase accounting is likely to result in a reduction
to goodwill and identifiable intangible assets balances and a reduction of intangible asset amortization expense subsequent to the acquisition
date for each of the six independent region acquisitions subject to the analysis. As previously reported, the Company has not identified
any evidence of misconduct with respect to these matters.
In addition, the Company has been undertaking an ongoing evaluation
of its internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures in connection with these matters.
The Company released certain preliminary operational metrics and financial
results for the Third Quarter in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 3, 2021 (the “Preliminary
Results Form 8-K”).
Although the Company continues to work expeditiously to complete the
work necessary to file the Form 10-Q as soon as practicable, the Company does not anticipate filing the Form 10-Q within the
five-day period provided by Rule 12b-25. As previously reported, the Company currently anticipates filing its quarterly report on
Form 10-Q for the Third Quarter in November 2021.
1 Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Earnings Per Share are non-GAAP
measures. Please see our latest Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our latest earnings release for definitions of these terms and
for reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

(3)
|
Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for
the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
|
Yes x
No ¨
If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change,
both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
As previously reported, the Company acquired the North American operations
of RE/MAX INTEGRA, the sub-franchisor of the RE/MAX brand in five Canadian provinces and nine U.S. states (collectively, the “Acquisition”).
The Acquisition closed on July 21, 2021, and was the most significant factor affecting the Company’s Third Quarter results
of operations, contributing to (1) a substantial increase in revenue in the Third Quarter versus the 2020 third quarter as further
described in the Preliminary Results Form 8-K and in the Preliminary Third Quarter Information below, and (2) a loss on the
settlement of the pre-existing master franchise agreements upon closing of the Acquisition in which the pre-acquisition royalty rates
paid by RE/MAX INTEGRA were below the current market rate.
In the Preliminary Results Form 8-K, the Company reported its
preliminary financial results for the Third Quarter as follows:
Preliminary Third Quarter Information
The preliminary financial results set forth
in this Form 12b-25 are unaudited preliminary numbers, which are subject to change. The final results for the Third Quarter may vary materially from the preliminary financial information included in
this Form 12b-25. Further information about the Company’s actual Third Quarter results will be provided as part of its Third
Quarter earnings conference call, earnings release, and Form 10-Q.
Third Quarter Highlights
(Compared to third quarter 2020)
|
|
•
|
Total revenue increased 28.0% to $91.0 million
|
|
|
•
|
Revenue, excluding the Marketing Funds, increased to $67.7 million or 25.9%, which was comprised of 6.9% organic growth, 18.3% growth
from acquisitions and 0.7% growth from foreign currency movements1
|
|
|
•
|
Total agent count increased 4.6% to 140,936 agents
|
|
|
•
|
U.S. and Canada combined agent count increased 2.2% to 85,656
agents, led by 10.0% growth in Canada
|
|
|
•
|
Total open Motto Mortgage franchises increased 32.3% to 176
offices2
|
The Company generated total revenue of $91.0
million in the Third Quarter, an increase of $19.9 million, or 28.0%, compared to $71.1 million in the third quarter of 2020. Total revenue
grew primarily due to contributions from the Company’s recent RE/MAX INTEGRA North American regions acquisition, which performed
above expectations, and broad-based performance from its core business, including fewer agent recruiting initiatives versus the prior
year, increased broker fees stemming from rising home prices, a RE/MAX continuing franchise fee price increase, and Motto growth. Recurring
revenue streams, which consist of continuing franchise fees and annual dues, increased $8.4 million, or 25.6%, compared to the third quarter
of 2020 and accounted for 61.2% of revenue (excluding the Marketing Funds) in the Third Quarter, almost even with last year’s 61.3%.
1 The Company defines organic
revenue growth as revenue growth from continuing operations excluding Marketing Funds, revenue from acquisitions, and foreign currency
movements. The Company defines revenue from acquisitions as the revenue generated from the date of an acquisition to its first anniversary
(excluding Marketing Funds revenue related to acquisitions where applicable).
2 Total open Motto Mortgage franchises
includes only “bricks and mortar” offices with a unique physical address with rights granted by a full franchise agreement
with Motto Franchising, LLC and excludes any “virtual” offices or “Branchises”.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 12b-25 includes “forward-looking statements”
within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements are often identified by the use of words such as “believe,” “intend,” “expect,”
“estimate,” “plan,” “outlook,” “project,” “anticipate,” “may,”
“will,” “would” and other similar words and expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends that
are not statements of historical matters. Forward-looking statements include statements related to: the Company’s preliminary results
for the Third Quarter and the anticipated significant changes to the results of operations from the corresponding period for the last
fiscal year, the Company’s belief that the changes to purchase accounting would not affect
previously reported revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Earnings Per Share, accounts receivable, or cash balances, statements regarding
the expectation that the change to purchase accounting will likely result in a reduction to goodwill and identifiable intangible assets
balances and a reduction of intangible asset amortization expense, and statements regarding when the Company expects to file the Form 10-Q.
Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and will not necessarily accurately indicate
the times at which such performance or results may be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time
those statements are made and/or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events and are subject to
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the
forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include the global COVID-19 pandemic, which continues to pose significant and
widespread risks to the Company’s business, including the Company’s agents, loan originators, franchisees, and employees,
as well as home buyers and sellers. Other important risks and uncertainties include, without limitation (1) that the preliminary
results for the Third Quarter and the anticipated significant changes to the results of operations from the corresponding period for the
last fiscal year are preliminary and subject to change pending the completion of the Company’s quarterly closing process and review,
(2) that the Company’s review of the matters described above is ongoing and the amounts at issue to which they relate have
not been definitively determined, (3) that additional adjustments may be identified, the impact of which could be material, (4) the
outcome of the Company’s evaluation of the effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls
and procedures has not been finalized, and (5) the timing of the filing of the Form 10-Q is an estimate and is subject to change,
and those risks and uncertainties described in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC and similar disclosures in subsequent periodic and current reports filed with the SEC, which
are available on the investor relations page of the Company’s website at www.remax.com and on the SEC website at www.sec.gov.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made.
Except as required by law, the Company does not intend, and undertakes no obligation, to update this information to reflect future events
or circumstances.
