“MMI continued to deliver revenue growth and improved financial results during the quarter despite another rise in interest rates and continued pressure on real estate valuations,” said Hessam Nadji, President and Chief Executive Officer of Marcus & Millichap. “Private client activity grew at a more moderate pace as bid-ask spreads widened following the 80 bps increase in the 10-year Treasury yield during the quarter. At the same time, our increased penetration of the middle market and larger transactions continued to drive stronger revenue growth.”

Mr. Nadji continued, “The near-term outlook remains somewhat tempered by the interest rate volatility of the past several months. However, we are seeing a growing number of assets that need to trade as loans mature and previously postponed transactions run out of time going into 2027. The price adjustments of the past three years, together with lenders’ increased ability to dispose of underperforming assets, are expected to result in increased sales activity. Our focus on platform improvements, talent acquisition and supporting our sales force remains on track. We are excited about our key growth initiatives to expand revenue lines and market share, while leveraging our strong balance sheet to pursue strategic acquisitions in 2027 and beyond.”

Third Quarter 2026 Results Compared to Third Quarter 2025

Total revenue for the third quarter 2026 was $208.4 million, an increase of 7.5% compared to $193.9 million for the third quarter 2025.

For real estate brokerage commissions, revenue was $174.1 million, an increase of 7.4% compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily attributed to a 12.6% increase in total brokerage sales volume, partially offset by a nine basis point decrease in the average commission rate earned compared to the third quarter 2025. The Middle Market and Larger Transaction Market revenue increased by 18.1% and the Private Client Market revenue increased by 3.6%.

For financing fees, revenue was $27.0 million, an increase of 2.6% compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily attributed to a five basis point increase in the average fee rate earned and a 0.7% increase in total financing volume, compared to the third quarter 2025.

Total operating expenses for the third quarter 2026 were $209.3 million compared to $196.3 million for the same period in the prior year. The change was primarily due to an increase of $12.5 million in cost of services. Cost of services as a percentage of total revenue increased by 160 basis points to 64.0% compared to the same period during the prior year, primarily due to our senior investment sales and financing professionals earning higher commissions in 2026.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $73.5 million for the third quarter 2026 compared to $72.5 million for the same period in 2025. The net increase of $1.0 million is primarily due to an increase in IT related costs partially offset by a decrease in litigation costs. In the third quarter of 2025, a $4.0 million legal accrual was recorded related to an ongoing litigation matter.

Net income for the third quarter 2026 was $1.0 million, or $0.03 per common share, diluted, compared to $0.2 million, or $0.01 per common share, diluted, for the same period in 2025. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter 2026 was $8.2 million, compared to $6.9 million for the same period in the prior year, primarily as a result of the decrease in operating losses.

Nine Months 2026 Results Compared to Nine Months 2025

Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $582.8 million, compared to $511.2 million for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $71.6 million, or 14.0%. Total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 increased by 8.7% to $587.2 million compared to $540.3 million for the same period in the prior year. Cost of services as a percentage of total revenue increased to 62.4%, an increase of 60 basis points compared to the first nine months of 2025.

The Company’s net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $1.8 million, or $0.05 per common share, diluted, compared to a net loss of $15.2 million, or $0.39 per common share, diluted for the same period in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $23.3 million compared to $(0.4) million for the same period in the prior year. As of September 30, 2026, the Company had 1,670 investment sales and financing professionals, compared to 1,669 at the end of the same period last year.

Capital Allocation

On July 31, 2026, the Board of Directors declared a semi-annual regular dividend of $0.25 per share, which was paid on October 6, 2026, to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 15, 2026.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company repurchased 912,957 shares of common stock at an average price of $26.22 for a total purchase price of $23.9 million. Since August 2022, the Company has repurchased and retired 3,987,494 shares of common stock at an average purchase price of $30.06 per share for a total price of $119.9 million.

After accounting for shares repurchased through November 3, 2026, the Company has approximately $90.1 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 Company believes 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, geopolitical 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.
