The RMR Group Inc. Announces First Quarter Fiscal 2018 Results

The RMR Group Inc. (Nasdaq: RMR) today announced its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2017.

Adam Portnoy, President and Chief Executive Officer, made the following statement regarding the first quarter fiscal 2018 results:

"We are pleased with our first quarter results, with net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc., Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin all increasing as compared to the previous quarter and the same period last year. In addition to growth in our recurring management services revenues, this quarter we recognized $155.9 million in incentive business management fees that we earned for calendar year 2017 from three of our managed equity REITs. Finally, the quarter includes the transitional impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on our operations, with a one time net gain of $4.9 million from the remeasurement of our tax assets and liabilities at lower corporate tax rates.

Our first quarter results build on the positive momentum we realized in growing and diversifying our business since becoming a publicly traded company about two years ago. Recently, the IPO of our fifth managed equity REIT, Industrial Logistics Properties Trust, was successfully completed on January 17, 2018."

First Quarter Fiscal 2018 Highlights:

  • Total revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 were $218.5 million, including $155.9 million of incentive business management fees, compared to total revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 of $105.3 million, including $52.4 million of incentive business management fees.
  • For the three months ended December 31, 2017, net income was $159.3 million and net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc. was $71.1 million, or $4.39 per diluted share, compared to net income of $60.2 million and net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc. of $23.5 million, or $1.46 per diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2016.
  • The RMR Group Inc. earned management services revenues and incentive business management fees for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 from the following sources (dollars in thousands):
   
Three Months Ended December 31,
2017     2016
Managed Equity REITs (1) $ 40,965       20.1 % $ 35,759       37.6 %
Managed Operators (2) 6,741 3.3 % 6,452 6.8 %
Other 864   0.4 % 516   0.5 %
Total Management Services Revenues 48,570 23.8 % 42,727 44.9 %
Incentive Business Management Fees (3) 155,881   76.2 % 52,407   55.1 %
Total Management Services Revenues and Incentive Business Management Fees $ 204,451   100.0 % $ 95,134   100.0 %
 

(1) Managed Equity REITs collectively refers to: Government Properties Income Trust (GOV), Hospitality Properties Trust (HPT), Select Income REIT (SIR) and Senior Housing Properties Trust (SNH). Industrial Logistics Properties Trust (ILPT) was a wholly-owned subsidiary of SIR until ILPT's initial public offering was completed on January 17, 2018.

(2) Managed Operators collectively refers to: Five Star Senior Living Inc. (FVE), Sonesta International Hotels Corporation and TravelCenters of America LLC (TA).

(3) Incentive Business Management Fees for the three months ended December 31, 2017, includes fees earned from HPT, SIR and SNH of $74,572, $25,569 and $55,740, respectively, and for the three months ended December 31, 2016 includes fees only earned from HPT.

  • For the three months ended December 31, 2017, Adjusted EBITDA was $30.5 million and Adjusted EBITDA Margin was 58.4%, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $26.1 million and Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 56.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2016. Adjusted EBITDA Margin equals Adjusted EBITDA divided by the contractual management and advisory fees earned from The RMR Group LLC’s client companies. These contractual management and advisory fees are calculated pursuant to The RMR Group LLC’s contracts with its client companies and do not deduct non-cash asset amortization recognized in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, as a reduction to management services revenues. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are calculated on recurring revenues and do not include incentive business management fees earned.
  • On December 22, 2017, the U.S government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or the Tax Act. The Tax Act significantly revised the U.S. corporate income tax system by, among other things, lowering corporate income tax rates. Since we have a September 30 fiscal year end, we currently expect the lower corporate income tax rate will be phased in, resulting in a federal statutory tax rate of approximately 24.5% for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2018 and 21.0% for subsequent fiscal years. This reduction in the federal statutory rate caused us to adjust our deferred tax asset and our income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2017.
  • As of December 31, 2017, The RMR Group Inc. had approximately $30.0 billion of total assets under management, compared to total assets under management of $28.5 billion as of September 30, 2017 and $27.2 billion as of December 31, 2016.

Reconciliations to GAAP:

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of net income determined in accordance with GAAP to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as well as calculations of Adjusted EBITDA Margin appear later in this press release. Also, comparisons of The RMR Group Inc.'s revenues, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, net income and net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc. for the three months ended December 31, 2017 to the three months ended December 31, 2016 are presented later in this press release.

Impact of Significant Items on Results:

To help investors better understand the impacts on our results for the quarter ending December 31, 2017 of certain individually significant items, we are presenting later in this press release detail quantifying the impact of those items on our results.

Total Assets Under Management:

The calculation of total assets under management includes: (i) the gross book value of real estate and related assets, excluding depreciation, amortization, impairment charges or other non-cash reserves, of the Managed Equity REITs and ABP Trust, plus (ii) the gross book value of real estate assets, property and equipment of the Managed Operators, excluding depreciation, amortization, impairment charges or other non-cash reserves, plus (iii) the fair value of investments of Affiliates Insurance Company, the managed assets of RMR Real Estate Income Fund and the equity of Tremont Mortgage Trust (TRMT), plus (iv) the contributed capital of and outstanding principal of loans serviced for certain private clients. This calculation of total assets under management may include amounts in respect of the Managed Equity REITs that are higher than the calculations of assets under management used for purposes of calculating fees under the terms of the business management agreements, which are based, in part, upon the lesser of the historical cost of real estate assets or total market capitalization. For information on the calculation of assets under management of the Managed Equity REITs 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.

Reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and Calculation of Adjusted EBITDA Margin (1)

Three Months Ended December 31,

Reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:
Net income $ 159,324 $ 60,200
Plus: income tax expense 48,343 15,673
Plus: depreciation and amortization 380   555  
EBITDA 208,047 76,428
Plus: other asset amortization 2,354 2,354
Plus: operating expenses paid in The RMR Group Inc.'s common shares 566 138
Plus: transaction costs related to the initial public offering of TRMT 142
Plus: business email compromise fraud costs 225
Plus: equity in losses of investees 222
Less: certain other adjustments (425 ) (408 )
Less: tax receivable agreement remeasurement due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (24,710 )
Less: incentive business management fees earned (155,881 ) (52,407 )
Adjusted EBITDA $ 30,540   $ 26,105  
 
Calculation of Adjusted EBITDA Margin:
Contractual management and advisory fees (excluding
any incentive business management fees)(2) $ 52,306 $ 46,091
Adjusted EBITDA $ 30,540 $ 26,105
Adjusted EBITDA Margin 58.4 % 56.6 %

(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 operating income. 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 income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, incentive business management fees earned, other asset amortization, operating expenses paid in The RMR Group Inc.'s common shares, transaction costs related to the initial public offering of TRMT, business email compromise fraud costs, equity in losses of investees, tax receivable agreement remeasurement due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and certain other adjustments, 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 any incentive business management fees). 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 operating income as an indicator of The RMR Group Inc.’s financial performance or as a measure of The RMR Group Inc.’s liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net income, net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc. and operating income as presented in The RMR Group Inc.'s condensed consolidated statements of income. Also, other asset management businesses may calculate EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin differently than The RMR Group Inc. does.

(2) These contractual management fees are the base business management fees, property management fees and advisory fees The RMR Group Inc. earns pursuant to its management and investment advisory agreements with its client companies. 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 December 31, 2017 and 2016, 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 $155,881 and $52,407 that The RMR Group Inc. recognized under GAAP during the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, which were earned for the calendar years 2017 and 2016, respectively.
