Forward Looking Statements and Non-GAAP Information
This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws, that are subject to risks and uncertainties. All statements other
than statements of historical facts contained in this presentation are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give the company current expectations
and projections relating to the company’s financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business. You can identify forward-
looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,”
“plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue” or other words and terms of similar
meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events.
These forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that the company has made in light of its industry experience and perceptions of historical trends, current
conditions, expected future developments and other factors the company believes are appropriate under the circumstances. As you consider this presentation, you
should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond the company’s
control) and assumptions. The company derives many of its forward-looking statements from its operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed
assumptions. While the company believe that the assumptions are reasonable, the company cautions that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors and it
is impossible to anticipate all factors that could affect actual results. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the company’s
expectations, or cautionary statements, are disclosed under the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations” in the Company’s most recent Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and similar disclosures in subsequent
reports filed with the SEC. All forward-looking statements attributable to the Company, or persons acting on the Company’s behalf, are expressly qualified in their
entirety by these cautionary statements. Because of these factors, the company cautions that you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.
Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible to predict
those events or how they may affect the company. Except as required by law, the company has no duty to, and does not intend to, update or revise the forward-looking
statements in this presentation after the date of this presentation.
This presentation refers to “Adjusted EBITDA,” “Adjusted Net Income”, “Free Cash Flow”, “Free Cash Flow less Distributions to RIHI” and “Unencumbered Cash.”
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Free Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow less Distributions to RIHI and Unencumbered Cash are not measures of financial performance
or liquidity under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the use of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Free Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow less
Distributions to RIHI and Unencumbered Cash is limited because they do not include certain material costs necessary to operate this business. In addition, Adjusted
EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Free Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow less Distributions to RIHI and Unencumbered Cash, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly
titled measures of other companies. See the Appendix for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Free Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow less Distributions
to RIHI and Unencumbered Cash with the most directly comparable measure under GAAP.

2. Excludes stock based compensation for comparable companies; Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not GAAP measures; other companies may calculate this measure differently so these measures may not be comparable; this chart
is for illustrative purposes only
3. Adjusted EBITDA margin calculations use financial statements from the most recent public filings of the companies listed
4. CBRE does not report Adjusted EBITDA and as such EBITDA has been used for the calculation of the margin

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Securities and Exchange Commission (“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. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), such as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income and the ratios related thereto. These measures are derived on the basis of
methodologies other than in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
RE/MAX defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA (consolidated net income before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net and the provision for income taxes, each of which is
presented in the Company’s consolidated financial statements), adjusted for the impact of the following items, as applicable to each period presented, that the Company does not consider
representative of the Company’s ongoing operating performance: (gains) losses on sale or disposition of assets and sublease, loss on early extinguishment of debt, non-recurring equity
based compensation expense, non-cash straight-line rent expense, salaries paid to David and Gail Liniger, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chairman and Co-Founder, and Vice Chair
and Co-Founder, respectively, that the Company discontinued subsequent to the completion of the IPO, non-recurring severance and other related expenses recognized as a result of a 2014
restructuring plan, the retirement of the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer on December 31, 2014, subsequent organizational changes implemented in 2015, and the retirement of the
Company’s former President on August 19, 2015, acquisition integration and professional fees expense and professional fees and certain non-recurring expenses incurred in connection with
the IPO.
RE/MAX defines Adjusted net income as net income, excluding the impact of amortization expense related to the Company’s franchise agreements, the GAAP provision for income taxes and
adjusted for the impact of the following items, as applicable to each period presented: (gains) losses on sale or disposition of assets and sublease, loss on early extinguishment of debt, non-
recurring equity based compensation expense, non-cash straight-line rent expense, salaries paid to David and Gail Liniger that the Company discontinued subsequent to the completion of the
IPO, non-recurring severance and other related expenses recognized as a result of a 2014 restructuring plan, the retirement of the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer on December 31,
2014, subsequent organizational changes implemented in 2015, and the retirement of the Company’s former President on August 19, 2015, acquisition integration and professional fees
expense and professional fees and certain non-recurring expenses incurred in connection with the IPO, but reflects income taxes and is presented as if all outstanding common units of
RMCO were exchanged for or converted into shares of the Company’s Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. Assuming the full exchange and conversion, all income of RMCO is
treated as if it were allocated to RE/MAX, and the adjusted provision for income taxes represents an estimate of income tax expense at an effective rate reflecting assumed federal, state, and
local income tax rates. The estimated effective tax rate for all periods presented was 38%.
Because Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income omit certain non-cash items and other non-recurring cash charges or other items, the Company believes that these metrics are less
susceptible to variances that affect the Company’s operating performance resulting from depreciation, amortization and other non-cash and non-recurring cash charges or other items and is
more reflective of other factors that affect the Company’s operating performance. The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income because it believes the metrics are useful
as supplemental measures in evaluating the performance of the Company’s operating businesses and provide greater transparency into the Company’s results of operations. The Company’s
management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a factor in evaluating the performance of their business.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyzing results RE/MAX 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 historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
• 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;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the Company’s interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on the Company’s debt;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the Company’s income tax expense or the cash requirements to pay the Company’s taxes;
• Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income do not reflect the cash requirements to pay dividends to shareholders of the Company’s Class A common stock and tax and other cash
distributions to non-controlling unitholders;
• Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income do not reflect the cash requirements to pay RIHI, Inc. and Oberndorf Investments LLC pursuant to the tax receivable agreements entered into
at the time of the IPO; and
• other companies may calculate these measures differently, so they may not be comparable.
