"We delivered a strong first quarter, with broad-based growth across the business, reflecting investments in talent, business development and platform expansion as well as improving market conditions," said Hessam Nadji, President and Chief Executive Officer of Marcus & Millichap. "Our Private Client business continued to build momentum while our institutional segment also posted gains as bid/ask spreads narrowed due to gradual price adjustments and improvements in the lending environment. Our financing business had an exceptional quarter as capital availability grew and we leveraged our market leading lender network to achieve revenue growth of 48%."

Mr. Nadji continued, "We are encouraged by the improvement we are seeing and the fundamentals supporting continued recovery - driven by more realistic pricing and an increasingly liquid credit environment. Geopolitical developments and energy price volatility have introduced near-term uncertainty, which we are navigating with the same discipline that has served us well through the extended market disruption. Our strong balance sheet and broad capital deployment plan enabled us to accelerate share buybacks while continuing our dividend policy and having ample capital for strategic acquisitions and platform investments."

First Quarter 2026 Results Compared to First Quarter 2025

Total revenue for the first quarter 2026 was $171.5 million, an increase of 18.2% compared to $145.0 million for the first quarter 2025.

For real estate brokerage commissions, revenue was $138.1 million, an increase of 11.7% compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily attributed to an 18.5% increase in total sales volume, partially offset by an 11 basis point decrease in the average commission rate earned compared to the first quarter 2025. The decrease in the average commission rate was due to revenue shifting from the Private Client Market to the Larger Transaction Market, which generally earns lower commission rates. The Larger Transaction Market revenue increased by 24.9%, while the Private Client Market revenue increased by 13.4%.

For financing fees, revenue was $26.8 million, an increase of 48.1% compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily attributed to a 60.1% increase in total financing volume, partially offset by a four basis point decrease in the average fee rate earned, compared to the first quarter 2025.

Total operating expenses for the first quarter 2026 were $177.2 million compared to $162.7 million for the same period in the prior year. The change was primarily due to an increase of $15.3 million in cost of services. Cost of services as a percentage of total revenue decreased by 40 basis points to 60.5% compared to the same period during the prior year, primarily due to our senior investment sales and financing professionals earning higher commissions in 2025.

Selling, general and administrative expenses remained relatively consistent at $71.2 million for the first quarter 2026 compared to $71.6 million for the same period in 2025.

Net loss for the first quarter 2026 was $3.1 million, or $0.08 per common share, diluted, compared to a net loss of $4.4 million, or $0.11 per common share, diluted, for the same period in 2025. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter 2026 was $2.9 million, compared to $(8.7) million for the same period in the prior year, primarily as a result of the decrease in operating losses.

Capital Allocation

On February 10, 2026, the Board of Directors declared a semi-annual regular dividend of $0.25 per share, which was paid on April 3, 2026, to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 13, 2026.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company repurchased 895,532 shares of common stock at an average price of $26.22 for a total purchase price of $23.5 million. Since August 2022, the Company has repurchased and retired 3,970,069 shares of common stock at an average price of $30.08 per share for a total price of $119.4 million.

On April 30, 2026, the Company's Board of Directors approved an additional $70 million to repurchase common stock under its stock repurchase program. After accounting for shares repurchased through May 4, 2026 and the increased authorization, the Company has approximately $90 million available to repurchase shares under its program. No time limit has been established for the completion of the program, and the repurchases are expected to be executed from time to time, subject to general business and market conditions and other investment opportunities, through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions, including through Rule 10b5-1 plans.

Business Outlook

Despite 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 2026. 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 continue 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 18% share of this segment by transaction count in 2025.

Key factors that may influence the Company's business during the remainder of 2026 include:

• Volatility in transactional activity and investor sentiment driven by:
  • 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 on commercial real estate space demand;
  • possible impact of the U.S. administration's tariff, immigration, geopolitics and other policy changes on market sentiment, which may influence transaction velocity and/or future fluctuations in interest rates, sales and financing activity; and
  • 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; and
• 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 interest on marketable debt securities, available-for-sale and cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, and net realized gains (losses) on marketable debt securities, available-for-sale, (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):
