The RMR Group Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter 2021 Results

Net Income of $30.8 Million, or $0.82 Per Diluted Share

Adjusted Net Income of $0.50 Per Diluted Share, a 6% Sequential Quarter Increase and a 28% Increase from Last Year

Adjusted EBITDA of $26.3 Million, an 8% Sequential Quarter Increase and a 27% Increase from Last Year

The RMR Group Inc. (Nasdaq: RMR) today announced its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Adam Portnoy, President and Chief Executive Officer, made the following statement regarding the fourth quarter fiscal 2021 results:

“During the quarter, management and advisory services revenues increased 16.5% from last year, to $46.8 million, and marked RMR’s fifth straight quarter of sequential growth. This growth was driven by steady increases in property management fees due to recent REIT acquisitions, increased construction management fees tied to our expanded oversight of client redevelopment activities and continued revenue growth at our Managed Operating Companies. In addition to growth in Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin increased 240 basis points sequentially to 53.5% this quarter and is now just below pre-pandemic levels, which is a testament to the high-quality operating leverage inherent in RMR’s structure.

We believe fiscal 2022 will bring RMR significant opportunities to see continued increases in revenues, including potential incentive management fees from the Managed Equity REITs, as our clients execute on their strategic plans during what we expect to be a period of continued economic recovery. After our special dividend distribution of $7.00 per share in September, RMR has nearly $160 million of cash and no debt and remains well positioned to pursue a range of capital allocation strategies, with a concentrated focus on the growth of our private capital business.”

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2021 Highlights:

  • As of September 30, 2021, The RMR Group LLC had $32.7 billion of assets under management, or AUM, compared to $32.4 billion as of September 30, 2020.
  • Total management and advisory services revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, were $46.8 million, compared to $40.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

  • For the three months ended September 30, 2021, net income was $30.8 million and net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc. was $13.6 million, or $0.82 per diluted share, compared to net income of $14.4 million and net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc. of $6.2 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2020.
  • For the three months ended September 30, 2021, adjusted net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc. was $8.3 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, compared to $6.4 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The most significant adjustments to net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc. this quarter include $4.9 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, of unrealized gains on our equity method investment in TA and $0.8 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, related to a gain realized on our TRMT shares as part of TRMT’s merger with SEVN (then RMRM) on September 30, 2021.
  • For the three months ended September 30, 2021, Adjusted EBITDA was $26.3 million, Operating Margin was 45.1% and Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 53.5%, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $20.8 million, Operating Margin of 34.6% and Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 48.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2020.
  • Effective August 1, 2021, The RMR Group LLC and each Managed Equity REIT amended their business management agreements to replace the benchmark indexes used in the calculation of incentive business management fees. For periods beginning on and after August 1, 2021, each Managed Equity REIT’s respective subsector index of the MSCI U.S. REIT indexes will replace the discontinued SNL U.S. REIT indexes and be used to calculate benchmark returns per share for purposes of determining any incentive business management fee. For periods prior to August 1, 2021, the previously used and now discontinued SNL U.S. REIT indexes will continue to be used. These changes of index were due to S&P Global ceasing to publish the SNL U.S. REIT indexes.

    As of September 30, 2021, The RMR Group LLC estimates that it would have earned an incentive business management fee from OPI of $6.0 million for calendar 2021, if September 30, 2021 had been the end of the next measurement period.
  • As of September 30, 2021, The RMR Group Inc. had $159.8 million in cash and cash equivalents with no outstanding debt obligations. Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2021 reflects the payment of annual cash bonuses to officers and employees during the fiscal fourth quarter and a one-time special dividend of $7.00 per share, or $219.9 million, paid in September 2021.

Reconciliations to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or GAAP:

Adjusted net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc., EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA less Cash Tax Obligation are non-GAAP financial measures. The 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 EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA less Cash Tax Obligation is net income and the GAAP financial measure that is most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA Margin is Operating Margin, which represents operating income divided by total management and advisory services revenues. 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., and of net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as well as calculations of Operating Margin, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA less Cash Tax Obligation for each of the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 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.

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, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. The RMR Group Inc.’s SEC filings are available at the SEC website: www.sec.gov.

Equity based compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2021 consists of $1,212 related to shares granted by The RMR Group Inc. to certain of its officers and employees and $3,543 related to clients' shares granted to certain of The RMR Group Inc.’s officers and employees.

 

Equity based compensation related to shares granted by clients is based on the fair value as of the grant date for those shares that have vested, with subsequent changes in the fair value of the unvested grants being recognized over the requisite service periods. An equal, offsetting amount is recorded as reimbursable equity based compensation revenue.

 

Equity based compensation related to shares granted by The RMR Group Inc. is based on the market value on the date of grant, with the aggregate value of the shares granted amortized over the applicable vesting period. Shares issued each September vest in five equal, consecutive annual installments, with the first installment vesting on the date of grant. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, The RMR Group Inc. granted 96,300 shares to certain of its officers and employees. As of September 30, 2021, The RMR Group Inc. had 160,310 unvested shares outstanding which are scheduled to vest as follows:

Notes to Consolidated Statements of Income (Continued)

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 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, 2021 and 2020, the assumed redemption is dilutive to earnings per share as presented in the table below. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, 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:

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP financial measures calculated as presented in the tables above. The RMR Group Inc. considers EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to be appropriate supplemental measures of its operating performance, along with net income, net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc., operating income and operating 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 those outlined in the tables above, 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. In addition, The RMR Group Inc. 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). EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc., operating income or operating margin as an indicator of The RMR Group Inc.’s financial performance or as a measure of The RMR Group Inc.’s liquidity. Other asset management businesses may calculate EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin differently than The RMR Group Inc. does.

 
(2)

Adjusted EBITDA less Cash Tax Obligation is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as presented in the table above. The RMR Group Inc. considers Adjusted EBITDA less Cash Tax Obligation to be an appropriate measure of its operating performance, along with net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc. The RMR Group Inc. believes that Adjusted EBITDA less Cash Tax Obligation 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. Adjusted EBITDA less Cash Tax Obligation is among the factors The RMR Group Inc.’s Board of Directors considers when determining the amount of dividends to its shareholders. Other asset management businesses may calculate Adjusted EBITDA less Cash Tax Obligation differently than The RMR Group Inc. does.

 
(3)

Contractual management and advisory fees are the base business management fees, property management fees and advisory fees The RMR Group Inc. or its subsidiaries earns pursuant to its management agreements. These amounts are calculated pursuant to the contractual formulas and do not deduct other asset amortization of $2,354 for each of the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, or $9,416 for each of the fiscal years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, required to be recognized as a reduction to management services revenues in accordance with GAAP and do not include the incentive business management fees of $620 that The RMR Group Inc. recognized under GAAP for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021.

 
(4)

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. For the three months and fiscal years ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, RMR LLC made required quarterly tax distributions as follows:

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 during the quarter, management and advisory services revenues increased 16.5% from last year, to $46.8 million, and marked RMR’s fifth straight quarter of sequential growth. Mr. Portnoy also states that this growth was driven by steady increases in property management fees due to recent REIT acquisitions, increased construction management fees tied to The RMR Group Inc.’s expanded oversight of client redevelopment activities and continued revenue growth at The RMR Group Inc.’s Managed Operating Companies. In addition, Mr. Portnoy states that in addition to growth in Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin increased 240 basis points sequentially to 53.5% this quarter and is now just below pre-pandemic levels, which Mr. Portnoy states is a testament to high-quality operating leverage inherent in RMR’s structure. These statements may imply that The RMR Group Inc. will continue to earn increased management and advisory services revenues, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin 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, the impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic is not known and economic conditions could deteriorate for a prolonged period and negatively impact The RMR Group Inc.’s and its clients’ businesses operating and financial results;
  • Mr. Portnoy states that he believes fiscal 2022 will bring The RMR Group Inc. significant opportunities to see continued increases in revenues, including potential incentive management fees from the Managed Equity REITs as a result of The RMR Group Inc.’s clients executing on their strategic plans during what The RMR Group Inc. expects to be a period of continued economic recovery. This statement may imply that The RMR Group Inc.’s base management fees may continue to increase in future periods. However, The RMR Group Inc.’s base management fees may not grow in future periods and could decline. Further, this statement may imply that The RMR Group Inc. may earn incentive business management fees for calendar 2021 or in future years. In addition, this press release states that The RMR Group LLC estimates that it would have earned an incentive business management fee from OPI of $6.0 million for calendar 2021, if September 30, 2021 had been the end of the next measurement period. The incentive business management fees that The RMR Group LLC may earn from its Managed Equity REITs are based upon total returns realized by the REITs’ shareholders compared to the total shareholders return of certain identified indices. The RMR Group Inc. has only limited control over the total returns realized by shareholders of the Managed Equity REITs and effectively no control over indexed total returns. There can be no assurance that The RMR Group LLC will earn any incentive business management fees from its Managed Equity REITs in the future and any amounts it may earn may be less than amounts estimated; and
  • Mr. Portnoy states that The RMR Group Inc. has nearly $160 million of cash and no debt after the special dividend distribution of $7.00 per share in September 2021 and that it remains well positioned to pursue a range of capital allocation strategies, with a concentrated focus on the growth of its private capital business. This statement may imply that The RMR Group Inc. will successfully identify and execute one or more capital allocation strategies, including growth of its private capital business or future additional special dividends, and that any capital allocation strategy it may pursue will be successful and benefit it and its shareholders. However, identifying and executing on capital allocation strategies are subject to various uncertainties and risks and may take an extended period to realize any resulting benefit to its business. In addition, The RMR Group Inc. may elect to not pursue 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. The RMR Group Inc.’s filings with the SEC are available on its website and at www.sec.gov.

You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

Except as required by law, The RMR Group Inc. undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
