The RMR Group Inc. Announces Third Quarter Fiscal 2021 Results

By: The RMR Group Inc. via Business Wire

August 05, 2021 at 16:15 PM EDT

Net Income of $19.0 Million, or $0.50 Per Diluted Share

Adjusted Net Income of $0.47 Per Diluted Share, a 27% Sequential Quarter Increase and a 24% Increase from Last Year

Adjusted EBITDA of $24.4 Million, a 16% Sequential Quarter Increase and a 25% Increase from Last Year

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

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

“This quarter, management and advisory services revenues were $45.5 million, an increase of 16% from the same time last year, when the pandemic was having its most severe impacts on our clients. This quarter’s results, which also saw significant increases in earnings per share, cash flows and EBITDA margins, reflect post pandemic tailwinds across many of the sectors we operate in. More specifically, this quarter saw meaningful increases in the enterprise values at our Managed Equity REITs, solid operating results at Sonesta, as travel volumes increased across the country, and a strong quarter from both fuel and non-fuel revenues at TravelCenters of America. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 51.1% this quarter, a sequential quarter increase of 300 basis points, which we believe showcases RMR’s operating leverage and earnings potential amidst the ongoing economic recovery.

We remain optimistic that we may begin earning incentive fees this calendar year, as Office Properties Income Trust’s potential 2021 incentive fee increased by $1.4 million to $22.2 million, based on its total return per share out-performance relative to its peers through June. With almost $400 million of cash and no debt, we remain well positioned to pursue numerous capital allocation strategies, including the potential return of shareholder capital.”

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 June 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 RMR Mortgage Trust and Tremont Mortgage Trust.

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 nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, 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., 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 June 30, 2021 and 2020, or $7,062 for each of the nine months ended June 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 nine months ended June 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 and nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, RMR LLC made required quarterly tax distributions as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Nine Months Ended June 30,

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 this quarter, management and advisory services revenues were $45.5 million, an increase of 16% from the same time last year, when the pandemic was having its most severe impacts on The RMR Group Inc.’s clients. Mr. Portnoy also states that this quarter’s results saw significant increases in earnings per share, cash flows and EBITDA margins, reflecting post pandemic tailwinds across many of the sectors The RMR Group Inc. operates in. More specifically, he states that this quarter saw meaningful increases in the enterprise values at the Managed Equity REITs, solid operating results at Sonesta, as travel volumes increased across the country, and a strong quarter from both fuel and non-fuel revenues at TravelCenters of America. These statements may imply that The RMR Group Inc. will continue to earn increased management and advisory services revenues, earnings per share, cash flows and 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 The RMR Group Inc. remains optimistic that it may begin earning incentive fees this calendar year, as Office Properties Income Trust’s potential 2021 incentive fee increased by $1.4 million to $22.2 million, based on its total return per share out-performance relative to its peers through June. This statement may imply that The RMR Group Inc. may earn incentive business management fees for calendar 2021 or in future years. The incentive business management fees that The RMR Group Inc. 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 Inc. will earn any incentive business management fees from its Managed Equity REITs in the future; and
Mr. Portnoy states that The RMR Group Inc. remains well positioned to pursue numerous capital allocation strategies, including the return of shareholder capital. These statements may imply that The RMR Group Inc. will successfully identify and execute one or more capital allocation strategies, including that it will return capital to shareholders, 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, RMR may elect to not pursue a capital allocation strategy, including returning shareholder capital, 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.
