By: The RMR Group Inc. via Business Wire

May 04, 2022 at 16:15 PM EDT

Net Income of $0.39 Per Diluted Share, a 30% Increase from Last Year

Adjusted Net Income of $0.50 Per Diluted Share, a 35% Increase from Last Year

$37.7 Billion in Total AUM, with Managed Private Real Estate Capital AUM Increasing to $3.9 Billion

The RMR Group Inc. (Nasdaq: RMR) today announced its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022.

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

“For the second fiscal quarter, RMR reported management and advisory services revenue of $49.3 million, a 17% increase from last year, reflecting early success in growing our private capital business and the execution of strategic growth and repositioning strategies at our Managed REITs. Similarly, Net income, Adjusted net income and Adjusted EBITDA all were in line with our second quarter guidance and each measure exceeded prior year results by at least 22%, fueled primarily by the successful integration of ILPT’s acquisition of Monmouth Real Estate Investment Corporation.

During the quarter, DHC closed on a $703 million joint venture with two global institutional investors, increasing RMR’s managed private real estate capital AUM to $3.9 billion. We believe this growth not only showcases our ability to expand our AUM through private capital transactions, but also highlights RMR’s alignment with our clients’ shareholders by expanding their access to capital.

With over $181 million of cash and no debt, we remain well positioned to continue pursuing a range of capital allocation strategies.”

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

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 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 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 Adjusted EBITDA less Cash Tax Obligation 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. 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 Adjusted EBITDA less Cash Tax Obligation for each of the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 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, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC.

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 and six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the assumed redemption is dilutive to earnings per share as presented in the table below. The calculation of basic and diluted EPS is as follows:

(1)		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. 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 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. or net income 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 March 31, 2022 and 2021, or $4,708 for each of the six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, 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 three and six months ended March 31, 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 and six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, 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 for the second fiscal quarter, management and advisory services revenues of $49.3 million increased 17% from last year, reflecting early success in growing The RMR Group Inc.’s private capital business and the execution of strategic growth and repositioning strategies at the Managed REITs. Mr. Portnoy also states that similarly, net income, adjusted net income and Adjusted EBITDA all were in line with second quarter guidance and each measure exceeded prior year results by at least 22%, fueled primarily by the successful integration of ILPT’s acquisition of Monmouth Real Estate Investment Corporation. These statements may imply that The RMR Group Inc. will continue to earn increased management and advisory services revenues, net income, adjusted net income and Adjusted EBITDA 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, including as a result of inflation, for a prolonged period and negatively impact The RMR Group Inc.’s and its clients’ businesses operating and financial results;
Mr. Portnoy states that during the quarter, DHC closed on a $703 million joint venture with two global institutional investors, increasing The RMR Group Inc.’s managed private real estate capital AUM to $3.9 billion. In addition, Mr. Portnoy also states that he believes this growth not only showcases The RMR Group Inc.’s ability to expand its AUM through private capital transactions, but also highlights The RMR Group Inc.’s alignment with its clients’ shareholders by expanding their access to capital. These statements may imply that the DHC joint venture will be successful and that it will benefit DHC and The RMR Group Inc. as a result. However, this transaction may not be successful and the fees earned from clients may decline or not meet expectations as a result. In addition, The RMR Group Inc. may not succeed in expanding its AUM through private transactions in the future and any such expansion may not realize the benefits to it and its clients; and
Mr. Portnoy states that The RMR Group Inc. has over $181 million of cash and no debt, and that it remains well positioned to continue pursuing a range of capital allocation strategies. This statement may imply that The RMR Group Inc. will 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. However, identifying and executing on capital allocation strategies are subject to various uncertainties and risks and it may take an extended period of time to realize any benefits. 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. 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.
