About this update from Marcus & Millichap, Inc.

Marcus & Millichap, Inc. (the “Company”, “Marcus & Millichap”, or “MMI”) (NYSE: MMI), a leading national real estate services firm specializing in commercial real estate investment sales, financing services, research and advisory services, reported its second quarter financial results today. Second Quarter 2026 Highlights Compared to Second Quarter 2025 Total revenue increased by 17.8% to $202.9 million, compared to $172.3 million Brokerage commissions increased by 18.1% to $167.0 million, compared to $141.4 million Private Client Market brokerage revenue increased by 13.6% to $106.2 million, compared to $93.5 million Middle Market and Larger Transaction Market brokerage revenue increased by 29.4% to $54.7 million, compared to $42.3 million Financing fees increased by 15.3% to $30.3 million, compared to $26.3 million Pre-tax income increased by $10.0 million to $6.3 million compared to pre-tax loss of $3.7 million Net income of $3.9 million, or $0.10 per common share, diluted, compared to a net loss of $11.0 million, or $0.28 per common share, diluted Adjusted EBITDA 1 increased by $10.6 million to $12.1 million compared to $1.5 million Six Months 2026 Highlights Compared to Six Months 2025 Total revenue increased by 18.0% to $374.4 million, compared to $317.3 million Brokerage commissions increased by 15.1% to $305.1 million, compared to $265.0 million Private Client Market brokerage revenue increased by 13.5% to $194.4 million, compared to $171.2 million Middle Market and Larger Transaction Market brokerage revenue increased by 19.5% to $99.3 million, compared to $83.1 million Financing fees increased by 28.7% to $57.1 million, compared to $44.4 million Pre-tax income increased by $21.8 million to $4.1 million compared to pre-tax loss of $17.7 million Net income of $0.8 million, or $0.02 per common share, diluted, compared to a net loss of $15.5 million, or $0.40 per common share, diluted Adjusted EBITDA 1 increased by $22.4 million to $15.1 million compared to $(7.3) million “Our strong second quarter is the culmination of numerous internal initiatives to expand our client outreach and more favorable catalysts for CRE sales and financing,” said Hessam Nadji, President and Chief Executive Officer of Marcus & Millichap. “Our private client recovery gained momentum as banks and credit unions have become more active, while our larger, institutional sales and financing volumes also showed significant progress.” Mr. Nadji continued, “The passage of time since the market bottom, coupled with the repricing of CRE assets in response to higher interest rates, is driving increased transaction activity. The recent resurgence of the Middle East conflict and inflation pressures continue to challenge bid/ask spreads tied to the rise in rates over the last few months. However, we are leveraging MMI’s size, scale and unwavering focus on client connectivity to continue revenue growth and service expansion strategies. Our fortress balance sheet is enabling us to continue investing in our platform and talent while returning capital to shareholders as part of our ongoing efforts to create long-term value.” _____________________________ 1 Please refer to the reconciliation of U.S. GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures at the end of this release for more information. Second Quarter 2026 Results Compared to Second Quarter 2025 Total revenue for the second quarter 2026 was $202.9 million, an increase of 17.8% compared to $172.3 million for the second quarter 2025. For real estate brokerage commissions, revenue was $167.0 million, an increase of 18.1% compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily attributed to an 18.4% increase in total sales volume compared to the second quarter 2025. The Larger Transaction Market revenue increased by 43.2% and the Private Client Market revenue increased by 13.6%. For financing fees, revenue was $30.3 million, an increase of 15.3% compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily attributed to a 5.4% increase in total financing volume and a 10 basis point increase in the average fee rate earned, compared to the second quarter 2025. Total operating expenses for the second quarter 2026 were $200.7 million compared to $181.3 million for the same period in the prior year. The change was primarily due to an increase of $20.0 million in cost of services. Cost of services as a percentage of total revenue increased by 50 basis points to 62.4% 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 remained relatively consistent at $71.7 million for the second quarter 2026 compared to $71.6 million for the same period in 2025. Net income for the second quarter 2026 was $3.9 million, or $0.10 per common share, diluted, compared to a net loss of $11.0 million, or $0.28 per common share, diluted, for the same period in 2025. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter 2026 was $12.1 million, compared to $1.5 million for the same period in the prior year, primarily as a result of the increase in operating income. Six Months 2026 Results Compared to Six Months 2025 Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $374.4 million, compared to $317.3 million for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $57.1 million, or 18.0%. Total operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased by 9.8% to $377.9 million compared to $344.1 million for the same period in the prior year. Cost of services as a percentage of total revenue increased to 61.5%, an increase of 10 basis points compared to the first six months of 2025. The Company’s net income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $0.8 million, or $0.02 per common share, diluted, compared to a net loss of $15.5 million, or $0.40 per common share, diluted for the same period in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $15.1 million compared to $(7.3) million for the same period in the prior year. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had 1,677 investment sales and financing professionals, compared to 1,640 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, payable on October 6, 2026, to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 15, 2026. During the six months ended June 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 price of $30.06 per share for a total price of $119.9 million. On April 30, 2026, the Company's Board of Directors approved an additional $70 million to repurchase common stock under its stock repurchase program. After accounting for shares repurchased through August 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. We believe 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, geopolitics 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.

OTHER INFORMATION (Unaudited) Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation Adjusted EBITDA, which the Company defines as net income (loss) before (i) interest income and other, including interest on marketable debt securities, available-for-sale and cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, and net realized gains (losses) on marketable debt securities, available-for-sale, (ii) interest expense, (iii) provision (benefit) for income taxes, (iv) depreciation and amortization, and (v) stock-based compensation. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA in its business operations to evaluate the performance of its business, develop budgets and measure its performance against those budgets, among other things. The Company also believes that analysts and investors use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to evaluate its overall operating performance. However, Adjusted EBITDA has material limitations as a supplemental metric and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company finds Adjusted EBITDA to be a useful management metric to assist in evaluating performance, because Adjusted EBITDA eliminates items related to capital structure, taxes and non-cash items. Considering the foregoing limitations, the Company does not rely solely on Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure and also considers its U.S. GAAP results. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of the Company’s financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), operating income (loss) or any other measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated in the same manner by all companies, it may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, net income (loss), to Adjusted EBITDA is as follows (in thousands):   Three Months Ended June 30,   Six Months Ended June 30,   2026   2025   2026   2025 Net income (loss) $ 3,909     $ (11,035 )   $ 809     $ (15,457 ) Adjustments:               Interest income and other (1)   (3,410 )     (4,373 )     (7,462 )     (8,411 ) Interest expense   140       200       293       387   Provision (benefit) for income taxes   2,356       7,288       3,290       (2,209 ) Depreciation and amortization   2,348       3,153       4,739       6,002   Stock-based compensation   6,780       6,223       13,396       12,402   Adjusted EBITDA $ 12,123     $ 1,456     $ 15,065     $ (7,286 ) (1) Other includes net realized gains (losses) on marketable debt securities available-for-sale.
