NEWTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The RMR Group Inc. (Nasdaq: RMR) today announced its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2022.

Adam Portnoy, President and Chief Executive Officer, made the following statement regarding the fourth quarter fiscal 2022 results:

“Despite ongoing macroeconomic headwinds and market volatility, management and advisory services revenues this quarter were $51.7 million, demonstrating our significant fee stability. Revenues this quarter also reflect continued growth in construction management fees and increases in fees from our Managed Operating Companies. These growing revenues have positively impacted our operating results highlighted by Adjusted EBITDA of $29.5 million, Net Income Margin of 52.8% and Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 54.6%.

For the fiscal year, we generated $31.0 million of excess capital after the consideration of dividends and our tax obligations, bringing our cash balance to approximately $189 million at year end. We continue to have no debt, our dividend remains well covered and we remain well positioned to pursue a range of capital allocation strategies, including opportunistically taking advantage of market dislocation to promote long term growth.”

  • For the three months ended September 30, 2022, net income was $27.3 million and net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc. was $12.0 million, or $0.73 per diluted share, compared to net income of $30.8 million and net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc. of $13.6 million, or $0.82 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2021.
  • For the three months ended September 30, 2022, Adjusted Net Income Attributable to The RMR Group Inc. was $9.4 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, compared to $8.3 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The adjustments to net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc. this quarter included $0.8 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, related to certain compensation adjustments, net of reimbursements, and $0.3 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, of separation costs, offset by $3.7 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, of unrealized gains on its equity method investments in SEVN and TA.

    The adjustment for certain compensation adjustments relates to our annual discretionary bonus program paid in September of each year. For this fiscal year, September bonus payments exceeded estimates accrued throughout the year by $2.3 million, net of any client reimbursements, as a result of the current competitive job market conditions for real estate professionals.
  • For the three months ended September 30, 2022, Adjusted EBITDA was $29.5 million, Net Income Margin was 52.8% and Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 54.6%, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $26.3 million, Net Income Margin of 65.6% and Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 53.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2021.
  • As of September 30, 2022, The RMR Group Inc. had $189.1 million in cash and cash equivalents with no outstanding debt obligations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

The RMR Group Inc. presents certain “non-GAAP financial measures” within the meaning of the applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, including Adjusted Net Income Attributable to The RMR Group Inc., Adjusted Net Income Attributable to The RMR Group Inc. per diluted share, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Distributable Earnings. The U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or GAAP, financial measure that is most directly comparable to Adjusted Net Income Attributable to The RMR Group Inc. is net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc. The GAAP financial measure that is most directly comparable to Adjusted Net Income Attributable to The RMR Group Inc. per diluted share is net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc. per diluted share. The GAAP financial measure that is most directly comparable to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Earnings is net income and the GAAP financial measure that is most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA Margin is Net Income Margin, which represents net income divided by total management and advisory services revenues.

These non-GAAP financial measures do not represent net income, net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc., net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc. per diluted share or cash generated by operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered alternatives to net income, net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc., net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc. per diluted share or net income margin determined in accordance with GAAP, as indicators of The RMR Group Inc.’s financial performance or as measures of its liquidity. Other asset management businesses may calculate these non-GAAP measures differently than The RMR Group Inc. does.

The RMR Group Inc. calculates EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as presented on page 10 and considers them to be appropriate supplemental measures of its operating performance, along with net income, net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc. and net income margin. The RMR Group Inc. believes that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain amounts, such as unrealized gains and losses, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin may facilitate a comparison of current operating performance with The RMR Group Inc.’s historical operating performance and with the performance of other asset management businesses. The RMR Group Inc. also believes that providing Adjusted EBITDA Margin may help investors assess The RMR Group Inc.’s performance of its business by providing the margin that Adjusted EBITDA represents to its contractual management and advisory fees (excluding incentive business management fees, if any).

The RMR Group Inc. calculates Adjusted Net Income Attributable to The RMR Group Inc. and Adjusted Net Income Attributable to The RMR Group Inc. per diluted share as net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc. and net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc. per diluted share, respectively, excluding the effects of certain individually significant items occurring or impacting its financial results during the quarter. The RMR Group Inc. provides Adjusted Net Income Attributable to The RMR Group Inc. and Adjusted Net Income Attributable to The RMR Group Inc. per diluted share for supplemental informational purposes in order to enhance the understanding of The RMR Group Inc.’s consolidated statements of income and to facilitate a comparison of The RMR Group Inc.’s current operating performance with its historical operating performance.

Distributable Earnings is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA less tax distributions to members and is considered to be an appropriate measure of The RMR Group Inc.’s operating performance, along with net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc. The RMR Group Inc. believes that Distributable Earnings provides useful information to investors because by excluding amounts payable for tax obligations, it increases comparability between periods and more accurately reflects earnings that may be available for distribution to shareholders. Distributable Earnings is among the factors The RMR Group Inc.’s Board of Directors considers when determining the amount of dividends to its shareholders.

Reconciliations of net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc. determined in accordance with GAAP to Adjusted Net Income Attributable to The RMR Group Inc., net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc. per diluted share determined in accordance with GAAP to Adjusted Net Income Attributable to The RMR Group Inc. per diluted share, and of net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as well as calculations of Net Income Margin, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Distributable Earnings are presented later in this press release.

Assets Under Management:

The calculation of AUM primarily includes: (i) the historical cost of real estate and related assets, excluding depreciation, amortization, impairment charges or other non-cash reserves, of the Managed Equity REITs and the Managed Private Real Estate Capital clients, plus (ii) the gross book value of real estate assets, property and equipment of the Managed Operating Companies, excluding depreciation, amortization, impairment charges or other non-cash reserves, plus (iii) the carrying value of loans held for investment at SEVN. Upon deconsolidation from a Managed Equity REIT, the respective real estate and related assets are characterized as Managed Private Real Estate Capital and their historical cost represents the fair value of the real estate at the time of deconsolidation.

All references in this press release to AUM on, or as of, a date are calculated at a point in time.

For additional information on the calculation of AUM for purposes of the fee provisions of the business management agreements, see The RMR Group Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, filed with the SEC. The RMR Group Inc.’s SEC filings are available at the SEC website: www.sec.gov.

The RMR Group Inc. calculates earnings per share, or EPS, using the two-class method. As such, earnings attributable to unvested participating shares are excluded from earnings before calculating per share amounts. In addition, diluted EPS includes the assumed issuance of Class A Common Shares pursuant to The RMR Group Inc.’s equity compensation plan using the treasury stock method and the issuance of Class A Common Shares related to the assumed redemption of the noncontrolling interest’s 15,000 Class A Units using the if-converted method. In computing the dilutive effect, if any, that the aforementioned redemption would have on EPS, The RMR Group Inc. considered that net income available to holders of Class A Common Shares would increase due to elimination of the noncontrolling interest offset by any tax effect, which may be dilutive. For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the assumed redemption of the 15,000 Class A Units is dilutive to earnings per share. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, such redemption is not reflected in diluted earnings per share as the assumed redemption would be anti-dilutive. The calculation of basic and diluted EPS is as follows:

Under the RMR LLC operating agreement, RMR LLC is required to make quarterly pro rata cash distributions to The RMR Group Inc. and its noncontrolling interest based on each’s estimated tax liabilities and respective ownership percentages. Estimated tax liabilities are determined quarterly on a cumulative basis. As such, there may be fluctuations from quarter to quarter to account for prior periods where pro rata cash distributions were more or less than amounts determined cumulatively through a particular quarter.

WARNING CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other securities laws. Forward-looking statements can be identified by use of words such as “outlook,” “believe,” “expect,” “potential,” “will,” “may,” “estimate,” “anticipate” and derivatives or negatives of such words or similar words. Forward-looking statements in this press release are based upon present beliefs or expectations. However, forward-looking statements and their implications are not guaranteed to occur and may not occur for various reasons, including some reasons beyond The RMR Group Inc.’s control. For example:

  • Mr. Portnoy states that despite ongoing macroeconomic headwinds and market volatility, management and advisory services revenues this quarter were $51.7 million reflecting continued growth in construction management fees and increases in fees from The RMR Group Inc.’s Managed Operating Companies. Mr. Portnoy also states that these growing revenues have positively impacted The RMR Group Inc.’s operating results highlighted by Adjusted EBITDA of $29.5 million, Net Income Margin of 52.8% and Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 54.6%. These statements may imply that The RMR Group Inc. will continue to earn increased management and advisory services revenues resulting in improved financial results in the future. However, The RMR Group Inc.’s and its clients’ businesses are subject to various risks, including risks outside its and their control. Further, economic conditions could deteriorate, including as a result of increasing interest rates, inflation, supply chain challenges, adverse geopolitical conditions and possible recession, for a prolonged period and negatively impact The RMR Group Inc.’s and its clients’ businesses and operating and financial results;
  • Mr. Portnoy statement that this quarter’s management and advisory services revenues demonstrates The RMR Group Inc.’s significant fee stability may imply that The RMR Group Inc.’s business will realize steady, or avoid significantly decreased or negative management and advisory services revenues, operating results and returns. However, The RMR Group Inc.’s fee stability may not be as stable as it believes if, for instance, its management agreements were terminated; and
  • Mr. Portnoy states that for the fiscal year, The RMR Group Inc. generated $31.0 million of excess capital after the consideration of dividends and its tax obligations, bringing its cash balance to approximately $189 million at year end. Mr. Portnoy also states that The RMR Group Inc. continues to have no debt, its dividend remains well covered and it remains well positioned to pursue a range of capital allocation strategies, including opportunistically taking advantage of market dislocation to promote long term growth. These statements may imply that The RMR Group Inc. will continue to generate excess capital after the consideration of dividends and tax obligations, will continue to pay a regular quarterly dividend at the current rate and successfully identify and execute one or more capital allocation strategies and that any capital allocation strategy it may pursue will be successful and benefit it and its shareholders and advance its long term growth. However, there can be no assurance that The RMR Group Inc. will generate similar or greater excess capital in the future or that it will continue to pay any regular dividends at the current rate or at all. The RMR Group Inc. may decide to lower or even eliminate its dividends. Further, identifying and executing on capital allocation strategies are subject to various uncertainties and risks, it may take an extended period of time to realize any benefits and there can be no assurance that any capital allocation strategy that it does pursue will advance continued long term growth. In addition, The RMR Group Inc. may elect to not continue pursuing a capital allocation strategy or abandon any such strategy it may pursue.

The information contained in The RMR Group Inc.’s filings with the SEC, including under the caption “Risk Factors” in The RMR Group Inc.’s periodic reports, or incorporated therein, identifies important factors that could cause differences from the forward-looking statements in this press release.
