Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
Note 1. Organization
The RMR Group Inc., or RMR Inc., is a holding company and substantially all of its business is conducted by its majority owned subsidiary, The RMR Group LLC, or RMR LLC. RMR Inc. is a Maryland corporation and RMR LLC is a Maryland limited liability company. RMR Inc. serves as the sole managing member of RMR LLC and, in that capacity, operates and controls the business and affairs of RMR LLC. In these condensed consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise indicated, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to RMR Inc. and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including RMR LLC.
As of December 31, 2024, RMR Inc. owned 15,844,688 class A membership units of RMR LLC, or Class A Units, and 1,000,000 class B membership units of RMR LLC, or Class B Units. The aggregate RMR LLC membership units RMR Inc. owns represented 52.9% of the economic interest of RMR LLC as of December 31, 2024. We refer to economic interest as the right of a holder of a Class A Unit or Class B Unit to share in distributions made by RMR LLC and, upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of RMR LLC, to share in the assets of RMR LLC after payments to creditors. A wholly owned subsidiary of ABP Trust, a Maryland statutory trust, owns 15,000,000 redeemable Class A Units, representing 47.1% of the economic interest of RMR LLC as of December 31, 2024, which is presented as noncontrolling interest in the RMR Group LLC within the condensed consolidated financial statements. Adam D. Portnoy, the Chair of our Board, one of our Managing Directors and our President and Chief Executive Officer, is the sole trustee of ABP Trust, and owns all of ABP Trust’s voting securities.
RMR LLC provides management services to four publicly traded equity real estate investment trusts, or REITs: Diversified Healthcare Trust, or DHC, which owns medical office and life science properties, senior living communities and other healthcare related properties; Industrial Logistics Properties Trust, or ILPT, which owns and leases industrial and logistics properties; Office Properties Income Trust, or OPI, which owns and leases office properties primarily to single tenants and those with high credit quality characteristics; and Service Properties Trust, or SVC, which owns a diverse portfolio of hotels and service-focused retail net lease properties. DHC, ILPT, OPI and SVC are collectively referred to as the Managed Equity REITs.
RMR LLC’s wholly owned subsidiary, Tremont Realty Capital LLC, or Tremont, an investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, provides advisory services for Seven Hills Realty Trust, or SEVN. SEVN is a publicly traded mortgage REIT that focuses on originating and investing in first mortgage loans secured by middle market and transitional commercial real estate. Tremont may also act as a transaction broker for non-investment advisory clients for negotiated fees, which we refer to as the Tremont business. The Managed Equity REITs and SEVN are collectively referred to as the Perpetual Capital clients.
RMR LLC provides management services to AlerisLife Inc., or AlerisLife, an operator of senior living communities, many of which are owned by DHC, and Sonesta International Hotels Corporation, or Sonesta, a privately owned franchisor and operator of hotels, resorts and cruise ships in the United States, Latin America, the Caribbean and the Middle East, and many of the U.S. hotels that Sonesta operates are owned by SVC.
RMR LLC provides management services through certain of its subsidiaries to multiple private funds and the underlying residential real estate assets of the funds, as well as property management services to third party owners. The residential real estate we manage through these subsidiaries are presented as RMR Residential in these condensed consolidated financial statements.
In addition, RMR LLC provides management services to other private capital vehicles including ABP Trust and other private entities that own commercial real estate, of which certain of our Managed Equity REITs own minority equity interests. These other private clients, along with AlerisLife, Sonesta and clients of RMR Residential are collectively referred to as the Private Capital clients.
Note 2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. Certain information and disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted. We believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. However, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, or our 2024 Annual Report.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim period have been included. All intercompany transactions and balances with or among our consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation. Our operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
We report our results in a single reportable segment, which reflects how our chief operating decision maker, or the CODM, allocates resources and evaluates our financial results. Preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make certain estimates and assumptions that may affect the amounts reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes. Significant estimates in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include purchase price allocations, useful lives of intangibles and the fair value of certain assets and liabilities. The actual results could differ from these estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Segments. On November 27, 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, or ASU No. 2023-07, which requires public entities to: i) provide disclosures of significant segment expenses and other segment items if they are regularly provided to the CODM and included in each reported measure of segment profit or loss; ii) provide all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets currently required by Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 280, Segment Reporting, or ASC 280, in interim periods; and iii) disclose the CODM’s title and position, as well as an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures and other disclosures. Public entities with a single reportable segment must apply all the disclosure requirements of ASU No. 2023-07, as well as all the existing segment disclosures under ASC 280. The amendments in ASU No. 2023-07 are incremental to the requirements in ASC 280 and do not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates those operating segments, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. ASU No. 2023-07 should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU No. 2023-07 will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Income Taxes. On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, or ASU No. 2023-09, which requires public entities to enhance its annual income tax disclosures by requiring: i) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation, and ii) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU No. 2023-09 should be applied prospectively but entities have the option to apply it retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. ASU No. 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU No. 2023-09 will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Note 3. Acquisition of MPC Partnership Holdings LLC
On December 19, 2023, or the Acquisition Date, RMR LLC acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of MPC Partnership Holdings LLC, or MPC (now doing business as RMR Residential), or the Acquisition. The Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under the FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. The purchase price of $99,021 was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimates of fair values as of the Acquisition Date. As of December 31, 2024, we have completed the purchase price allocation for the Acquisition with no material adjustments from those disclosed within our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
As part of the Acquisition, we acquired a 90.0% economic ownership interest in 260 Woodstock Investor, LLC, a mixed-use apartment complex located in Woodstock, GA, or the Woodstock Property. As of December 31, 2024, the aggregate carrying value of the Woodstock Property is presented in assets held for sale and liabilities held for sale in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. In January 2025, we sold the Woodstock Property for a sales price of $9,800, excluding closing costs.

Note 4. Revenue Recognition
Revenues from services we provide are recognized as earned over time as the services provided represent performance obligations that are satisfied over time.
Management Agreements with the Managed Equity REITs
We are party to a business management and a property management agreement with each Managed Equity REIT. The following is a summary of the fees we earn pursuant to our business management agreements with the Managed Equity REITs. For a summary of the fees we earn pursuant to our property management agreements with the Managed Equity REITs, see Property Management Agreements, below.
Base Business Management Fees — We earn annual base business management fees from the Managed Equity REITs by providing continuous services pursuant to business management agreements equal to the lesser of:
•the sum of (a) 0.5% of the historical cost of transferred real estate assets, if any, as defined in the applicable business management agreement, plus (b) 0.7% of the average invested capital (exclusive of the transferred real estate assets), as defined in the applicable business management agreement, up to $250,000, plus (c) 0.5% of the average invested capital exceeding $250,000; and
•the sum of (a) 0.7% of the average market capitalization, as defined in the applicable business management agreement, up to $250,000, plus (b) 0.5% of the average market capitalization exceeding $250,000.
The foregoing base business management fees are paid in cash monthly in arrears.
We earned aggregate base business management fees from the Managed Equity REITs of $20,399 and $21,550 for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Incentive Business Management Fees — We may also earn annual incentive business management fees from the Managed Equity REITs under the business management agreements. The incentive business management fees, which are payable in cash, are contingent performance based fees recognized only when earned at the end of each respective measurement period. Incentive business management fees are excluded from the transaction price until it becomes probable that there will not be a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized.
The incentive business management fees are calculated for each Managed Equity REIT as 12.0% of the product of (a) the equity market capitalization of the Managed Equity REIT, as defined in the applicable business management agreement, on the last trading day of the year immediately prior to the relevant measurement period and (b) the amount, expressed as a percentage, by which the Managed Equity REIT’s total return per share, as defined in the applicable business management agreement, exceeded the applicable benchmark total return per share, as defined in the applicable business management agreement, of a specified REIT index identified in the applicable business management agreement for the measurement period, as adjusted for net share issuances during the period and subject to caps on the values of the incentive fees. The measurement period for the annual incentive business management fees is defined as the three year period ending on December 31 of the year for which such fee is being calculated.
We did not earn incentive business management fees from the Managed Equity REITs for calendar years 2024 and 2023.
Other Management Agreements
We earn management fees by providing continuous services pursuant to the management agreements with ABP Trust regarding AlerisLife and with Sonesta; equal to 0.6% of: (i) in the case of AlerisLife, AlerisLife’s revenues from all sources reportable under GAAP, less any revenues reportable by AlerisLife with respect to properties for which it provides management services, plus the gross revenues at those properties determined in accordance with GAAP, payable in cash monthly in arrears; and (ii) in the case of Sonesta, Sonesta’s estimated revenues from all sources reportable under GAAP, less any estimated revenues reportable by Sonesta with respect to hotels for which it provides management services, plus the estimated gross revenues at those hotels determined in accordance with GAAP, payable in cash monthly in advance.
We also earn management fees from certain other Private Capital clients based on a percentage of average invested capital, as defined in the applicable management agreements. These management fees are payable in cash monthly in arrears.
The RMR Group Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
We earned aggregate base business management fees from the Private Capital clients of $6,807 and $6,682 for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Property Management Agreements
We earn property management fees by providing continuous services pursuant to property management agreements with the Managed Equity REITs, SEVN, RMR Residential and certain Private Capital clients. We generally earn fees under these agreements between 2.5% to 3.5% of gross collected rents. Also, under the terms of the property management agreements, we receive additional fees for construction supervision services up to 5.0% of the cost of such construction. In addition, we earn fees under our RMR Residential property management agreements for providing certain marketing, information technology and other management services, as defined in the applicable management agreements, and the related costs are included in general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated financial statements. These management fees are payable in cash monthly in arrears.
For the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we earned aggregate property management fees of $18,977 and $16,862, respectively, including construction supervision fees of $3,829 and $5,271, respectively.
Management Agreements with Advisory Clients
Tremont is primarily compensated pursuant to its management agreement with SEVN at an annual rate of 1.5% of equity, as defined in the applicable agreement. Tremont may also earn an incentive fee under its management agreement with SEVN equal to the difference between: (a) the product of (i) 20% and (ii) the difference between (A) core earnings, as defined in the applicable agreements, for the most recent 12 month period (or such lesser number of completed calendar quarters, if applicable), including the calendar quarter (or part thereof) for which the calculation of the incentive fee is being made, and (B) the product of (1) equity in the most recent 12 month period (or such lesser number of completed calendar quarters, if applicable), including the calendar quarter (or part thereof) for which the calculation of the incentive fee is being made, and (2) 7% per year and (b) the sum of any incentive fees paid to Tremont with respect to the first three calendar quarters of the most recent 12 month period (or such lesser number of completed calendar quarters preceding the applicable period, if applicable). No incentive fee shall be payable with respect to any calendar quarter unless core earnings for the 12 most recently completed calendar quarters in the aggregate is greater than zero. The incentive fee may not be less than zero. Tremont earned incentive fees from SEVN of $68 and $299 for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
We earned advisory services revenue of $1,141 and $1,125 for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Other Revenues
Interest income related to our commercial real estate mortgage loans is generally accrued based on the coupon rates applied to the outstanding principal balance of such loans. Fees, premiums and discounts, if any, will be amortized or accreted into interest income over the remaining lives of the loans using the effective interest method, as adjusted for any prepayments. Revenues from our rental of residential property is recognized on a straight line basis over the underlying lease term.
Reimbursable Costs
We determined we control the services provided by third parties for certain of our clients and therefore account for the cost of these services and the related reimbursement revenue on a gross basis.
Reimbursable Compensation and Benefits — Reimbursable compensation and benefits include reimbursements, at cost, that arise primarily from services our employees provide pursuant to our property management agreements at the properties of our clients. A significant portion of these compensation and benefits are charged or passed through to and paid by tenants of our clients. We recognize the revenue for reimbursements when we incur the related reimbursable compensation and benefits expense on behalf of our clients.
Reimbursable Equity Based Compensation — Reimbursable equity based compensation includes awards of common shares by our clients directly to certain of our officers and employees in connection with the provision of management services to those clients. The revenue in respect of each award is based on the fair value as of the award date for those shares that have vested, with subsequent changes in the fair value of the unvested awards being recognized in our condensed consolidated
The RMR Group Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
statements of income over the requisite service periods. We record an equal, offsetting amount as equity based compensation expense for the value of these awards.
Other Reimbursable Expenses — Other reimbursable expenses include reimbursements that arise from services we provide pursuant to our property management agreements, which include third party costs related to matters such as maintenance and repairs, development costs, security and cleaning services, a significant portion of which are charged or passed through to and paid by tenants of our clients.
Note 5. Loans Held for Investment, Net
As part of our strategic initiative to expand our private capital business, our plan is to amass a small portfolio of loans, financed, in part, through a bank repurchase facility, in a Tremont managed vehicle and bring in third parties to invest in the vehicle. The vehicle would then continue growing by making additional loans.
Generally, these loans are classified as held for investment based upon our intent and ability to hold them until maturity. Loans that are held for investment are carried at cost, net of unamortized loan origination fees, accreted exit fees, unamortized premiums and unaccreted discounts, as applicable, that are required to be recognized in the carrying value of the loans in accordance with GAAP, unless the loans are determined to be collateral dependent.
During the three months ended December 31, 2024, we funded an additional $1,400 to the borrower of our floating rate first mortgage loan secured by an industrial property in Wayne, PA.
During the three months ended December 31, 2024, we amortized an aggregate $117 in deferred origination fees and exit fees. As of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, deferred origination fees of $582 and $651, respectively, remain unamortized and we accrued $83 and $35, respectively, in exit fee receivables, which we include in loans held for investment in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The table below provides overall statistics for our loan portfolio as of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | December 31, 2024 | | September 30, 2024 |
Number of loans | | 2 | | | 2 | |
Total loan commitments | | $ | 67,000 | | $ | 67,000 |
Unfunded loan commitments (1) | | $ | 8,420 | | $ | 9,820 |
Principal balance | | $ | 58,580 | | $ | 57,180 |
Weighted average coupon rate | | 8.52 | % | | 9.15 | % |
Weighted average all in yield (2) | | 9.47 | % | | 10.13 | % |
Weighted average floor | | 4.34 | % | | 4.34 | % |
Weighted average maximum maturity (years) (3) | | 4.52 | | 4.80 |
| | | | |
(1)Unfunded loan commitments are primarily used to finance property improvements and leasing capital and are generally funded over the term of the loan.
(2)All in yield represents the yield on a loan, including amortization of deferred fees over the initial term of the loan.
(3)Maximum maturity assumes all borrower loan extension options have been exercised, which options are subject to the borrower meeting certain conditions.
Credit Quality Information
We evaluate the credit quality of each of our loans at least quarterly by assessing a variety of risk factors in relation to each loan and assigning a risk rating to each loan based on those factors. The higher the number, the greater the risk level. As of December 31, 2024, our two loans had an internal risk rating of 3. See our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information regarding our loan risk ratings.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The measurement of current expected credit losses, or CECL, is based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts incorporating forward-looking information that affect the collectability of the reported
The RMR Group Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
amount. Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments prescribes a forward-looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of credit losses and is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance sheet credit exposures, such as unfunded loan commitments.
The allowance for credit losses required under ASU No. 2016-13 is a valuation account that is deducted from the related loans’ amortized cost basis in our consolidated balance sheets. Our loans typically include commitments to fund incremental proceeds to borrowers over the life of the loan; these future funding commitments are also subject to the CECL model. The allowance for credit losses related to unfunded loan commitments is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in our consolidated balance sheets.
Given the lack of historical loss data related to our loan portfolio, we estimate our expected losses using an analytical model that considers the likelihood of default and loss given default for each individual loan. This analytical model incorporates data from a third party database with historical loan loss information for commercial mortgage-backed securities, or CMBS, and commercial real estate, or CRE, loans since 1998. We estimate the allowance for credit losses for our loan portfolio, including unfunded loan commitments, at the individual loan level. Significant inputs to the model include certain loan specific data, such as loan to value, or LTV, property type, geographic location, occupancy, vintage year, remaining loan term, net operating income, expected timing and amounts of future loan fundings, and macroeconomic forecast assumptions, including the performance of CRE assets, unemployment rates, interest rates and other factors. We utilize the model to estimate credit losses over a reasonable and supportable economic forecast period, followed by a straight-line reversion period to average historical losses. Average historical losses are established using a population of third party historical loss data that approximates our portfolio as of the measurement date. We evaluate the estimated allowance for each of our loans individually and we consider our internal loan risk rating as the primary credit quality indicator underlying our assessment.
We estimate credit losses over a reasonable and supportable forecast period of 12 months, followed by a straight-line reversion period of 12 months back to average historical losses. As of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, we recorded an allowance for credit losses of $194 and $343, respectively, related to our then outstanding loans held for investment and increased accounts payable and accrued expenses by $336 and $259, respectively, related to then unfunded loan commitments.
We have elected to exclude accrued interest receivable from amortized cost and not to measure an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivable. Accrued interest receivables are generally written off when payments are 120 days past due. Such amounts, if any, are reversed against interest income and no further interest will be recorded until it is collected. As of December 31, 2024, we recognized $431 in prepaid and other current assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets related to accrued interest receivable on our loans and no amounts were written off for the three months ended December 31, 2024.
As of December 31, 2024 and February 3, 2025, our borrowers with outstanding loans had paid their debt service obligations owed and due to us.

Mortgage Note Payable, Net
As of December 31, 2024, one of our properties, excluding one property held for sale, is encumbered by a $46,500 mortgage loan with a 5.34% fixed interest rate. This mortgage loan requires monthly payments of interest only until maturity in July 2029. Deferred financing fees incurred in connection with this mortgage financing are amortized over the term of the mortgage agreement and are recorded as a component of interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of income. Unamortized deferred financing fees totaled $1,281 as of December 31, 2024.
Note 7. Investments
Seven Hills Realty Trust
As of December 31, 2024, Tremont owned 1,708,058, or approximately 11.5%, of SEVN’s outstanding common shares. We account for our investment in SEVN using the equity method of accounting because we are deemed to exert significant influence, but not control, over SEVN’s most significant activities. We elected the fair value option to account for our investment in SEVN and determine fair value using the closing price of SEVN’s common shares as of the end of the period, which is a Level 1 fair value input. The aggregate market value of our investment in SEVN as of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, based on quoted market prices, was $22,341 and $23,520, respectively. The unrealized (loss) gain in our condensed consolidated statements of income related to our investment in SEVN was $(581) and $4,049 for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We received distributions from SEVN of $598 for each of the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Carroll MF VII, LLC and Carroll Multifamily Venture VII, LP
We previously accounted for our investment in Carroll MF VII, LLC, or MF VII, a co-investment vehicle managed by RMR Residential, using the equity method of accounting because we were deemed to exert significant influence, but not control, over MF VII’s most significant activities. Accordingly, this investment was recorded in investments in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2024 and was not consolidated.
In December 2024, we funded a $768 capital call to MF VII and reevaluated our consolidation considerations. As a result of our increased equity interest of 14.3% and existing influence over MF VII’s most significant activities, we concluded that we control MF VII and, therefore, consolidated its financial position and results as of and for the three months ended December 31, 2024, which included $27 in due from related parties and $713 in accounts payable and accrued expenses. As of December 31,

(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
2024, MF VII owned a $4,113 investment in Carroll Multifamily Venture VII, LP, or Fund VII. MF VII accounts for its investment in Fund VII using the equity method of accounting because it is deemed to exert significant influence, but not control, over Fund VII’s most significant activities. MF VII elected the fair value option to account for its investment in Fund VII and determines fair value using unobservable Level 3 inputs. Following consolidation of MF VII, we recognized a $490 loss on investments as a result of the difference between the carrying value of our investment in MF VII prior to consolidation and its fair value.
For further information regarding the fair value of the investment in Fund VII and the Level 3 inputs used, see Note 9, Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Note 8. Income Taxes
We are the sole managing member of RMR LLC. We are a corporation subject to U.S. federal and state income tax with respect to our allocable share of any taxable income of RMR LLC and its tax consolidated subsidiaries. RMR LLC is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. As a partnership, RMR LLC is generally not subject to U.S. federal and most state income taxes. Any taxable income or loss generated by RMR LLC is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of its members, including RMR Inc. and ABP Trust, based on each member’s respective ownership percentage. During the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, all of our income before taxes was derived solely from domestic operations.
For the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we recognized estimated income tax expense of $2,476 and $2,638, respectively, which includes $1,812 and $1,701, respectively, of U.S. federal income tax and $664 and $937, respectively, of state income taxes.
A reconciliation of the statutory income tax rate to the effective tax rate is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended December 31, | | |
| | 2024 | | 2023 | | | | |
Income taxes computed at the federal statutory rate | | 21.0 | % | | 21.0 | % | | | | |
State taxes, net of federal benefit | | 2.9 | % | | 2.8 | % | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
Permanent items | | 0.6 | % | | 0.6 | % | | | | |

| | | | | | | | |
Total | | 14.9 | % | | 14.5 | % | | | | |
The components of the deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 are entirely comprised of the outside basis difference in our partnership interest in RMR LLC.
ASC 740, Income Taxes, provides a model for how a company should recognize, measure and present in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that have been taken or are expected to be taken with respect to all open years and in all significant jurisdictions. Pursuant to this topic, we recognize a tax benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that a particular tax position will be sustained upon examination or audit. To the extent the “more likely than not” standard has been satisfied, the benefit associated with a tax position is measured as the largest amount that is greater than 50.0% likely to be realized upon settlement.
We continue to be subject to federal, state, and local income tax audit examinations for open periods, which can lead to adjustments to our provision for income taxes, the resolution of which may be highly uncertain. We have accrued an uncertain tax position reserve related to an ongoing examination with a state jurisdiction for the fiscal years ending September 30, 2019 and thereafter. As of December 31, 2023, we had no uncertain tax positions. Our policy is to include interest expense related to unrecognized tax benefits within the provision for income taxes in our condensed consolidated statements of income. We do not reasonably expect any significant changes relating to our unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.

Note 9. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We determine the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities using the three-tier fair value hierarchy established by GAAP, which prioritizes observable inputs in active markets when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value in order of priority are as follows:
Level 1 — Inputs include quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access.
Level 2 — Inputs include quoted prices in markets that are less active or inactive or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 — Inputs include unobservable prices and are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the overall fair value measurement.
As of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, the fair values of our financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, amounts due from related parties, accounts payable and accrued expenses and reimbursable accounts payable and accrued expenses, were not materially different from their carrying values due to the short term nature of these financial instruments.
We estimate the fair value of our fixed rate mortgage note payable, loans held for investment and outstanding principal balances under our secured financing facility using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), including discounted cash flow analyses and prevailing market interest rates.
The table below provides information regarding these financial instruments not carried at fair value in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024:

On a recurring basis, we measure certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value based upon quoted market prices. ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, or Level 1, the lowest priority to unobservable inputs, or Level 3, and significant other observable inputs, or Level 2. A financial asset’s or financial liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following tables present our financial assets and liabilities that have been measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Leases
As of December 31, 2024, RMR LLC leased from ABP Trust and certain Managed Equity REITs office space for use as our headquarters and local offices. We incurred rental expense under related party leases aggregating $1,398 and $1,307 for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Tax-Related Payments
Pursuant to our tax receivable agreement with ABP Trust, RMR Inc. pays to ABP Trust 85.0% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax that RMR Inc. realizes as a result of (a) the increases in tax basis attributable to RMR Inc.’s dealings with ABP Trust and (b) tax benefits related to imputed interest deemed to be paid by RMR Inc. as a result of the tax receivable agreement. As of December 31, 2024, our condensed consolidated balance sheet reflects a liability related to the tax receivable agreement of $20,863, including $2,421 classified as a current liability in accounts payable and accrued expenses that we expect to pay to ABP Trust during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025.
Pursuant to the RMR LLC operating agreement, for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, RMR LLC made required quarterly tax distributions to holders of its membership units totaling $6,253 and $8,662, respectively, of which $3,367 and $4,560, respectively, was distributed to us and $2,886 and $4,102, respectively, was distributed to ABP Trust, based on each membership unit holder’s respective ownership percentage at the time of distribution. The amounts distributed to us were eliminated in our condensed consolidated financial statements, and the amounts distributed to ABP Trust were recorded as a reduction of its noncontrolling interest. We use funds from these distributions to pay certain of our U.S. federal and state income tax liabilities and to pay part of our obligations under the tax receivable agreement.
Separation Arrangements
We may enter into retirement agreements with certain of our former executive officers. Pursuant to these agreements, we make various cash payments and accelerate the vesting of unvested shares of RMR Inc. previously awarded to these retiring officers. We may also enter into separation arrangements from time to time with executive and non-executive officers and employees of ours. All costs associated with separation arrangements, for which there remain no substantive performance obligations, are recorded in our condensed consolidated statements of income as separation costs.
The RMR Group Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
For the three months ended December 31, 2023, we recognized separation costs of $3,544, including cash separation costs of $3,446 and equity based separation costs of $98. We did not recognize any separation costs for the three months ended December 31, 2024.
Note 11. Shareholders’ Equity
We award our Class A common stock, or Class A Common Shares, to our Directors, officers and employees under the Amended and Restated 2016 Omnibus Equity Plan, or the 2016 Plan. Director share awards vest immediately. Officer and employee share awards vest in five equal, consecutive, annual installments, with the first installment vesting on the date of award. We recognize forfeitures as they occur. Compensation expense related to share awards is determined based on the market value of our shares on the date of award, with the aggregate value of the awarded shares amortized to expense over the related vesting period. Expense recognized for Director share awards are included in general and administrative expenses and expense recognized for officer and employee share awards are included in equity based compensation in our condensed consolidated statements of income.
Equity based compensation expense related to shares awarded to certain officers and employees was $556 and $502 for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, we had 231,010 unvested shares outstanding which are scheduled to vest as follows: 80,093 shares in 2025, 68,711 shares in 2026, 51,373 shares in 2027 and 30,833 in 2028.
In connection with the vesting and issuance of awards of our Class A Common Shares to our Directors, officers and employees, we provide for the ability to repurchase our Class A Common Shares to satisfy tax withholding and payment obligations for those eligible to do so. The repurchase price is based on the closing price of our Class A Common Shares on the date of repurchase. The aggregate value of 294 Class A Common Shares repurchased during the three months ended December 31, 2024 was $6, which is recorded as a decrease to additional paid in capital included in shareholders’ equity in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
In connection with the issuances and repurchases of our Class A Common Shares, and as required by the RMR LLC operating agreement, RMR LLC concurrently issues or acquires an identical number of Class A Units from RMR Inc.
Distributions
During the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we declared and paid dividends on our Class A Common Shares and Class B-1 common stock, or Class B-1 Common Shares, as follows:

On January 16, 2025, we declared a quarterly dividend on our Class A Common Shares and Class B-1 Common Shares to our shareholders of record as of January 27, 2025, in the amount of $0.45 per Class A Common Share and Class B-1 Common Share, or $7,580. This dividend will be partially funded by a distribution from RMR LLC to holders of its membership units in the amount of $0.32 per unit, or $10,190, of which $5,390 will be distributed to us based on our aggregate ownership of 16,844,688 membership units of RMR LLC and $4,800 will be distributed to ABP Trust based on its ownership of 15,000,000 membership units of RMR LLC. The remainder of this dividend will be funded with cash held by RMR Inc. We expect to pay this dividend on or about February 20, 2025.
Note 12. Per Common Share Amounts
We calculate basic earnings per share using the two-class method. Unvested Class A Common Shares awarded to our employees are deemed participating securities for purposes of calculating basic earnings per common share because they have dividend rights. Under the two-class method, we allocate earnings proportionately to vested Class A Common Shares and Class B-1 Common Shares outstanding and unvested Class A Common Shares outstanding for the period. Accordingly, earnings attributable to unvested Class A Common Shares are excluded from basic earnings per share under the two-class method. Our Class B-2 common stock of RMR Inc., or Class B-2 Common Shares, which are paired with ABP Trust’s Class A Units, have no independent economic interest in RMR Inc. and thus are not included as common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating basic earnings per common share.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the treasury stock method for unvested Class A Common Shares and the if-converted method for Class B-2 Common Shares. The 15,000,000 Class A Units that we do not own may be redeemed for our Class A Common Shares on a one-for-one basis, or upon such redemption, we may elect to pay cash instead of issuing Class A Common Shares. Upon redemption of a Class A Unit, the Class B-2 Common Share “paired” with such unit is canceled for no additional consideration. In computing the dilutive effect, if any, the assumed redemption would have on earnings per share, we considered net income available to holders of our 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 December 31, 2023, the assumed redemption is dilutive to earnings per share as presented in the table below. For the three months ended December 31, 2024, such redemption is not reflected in diluted earnings per share as the assumed redemption would be anti-dilutive.

As the general partner, we retained a 30.0% interest, or an $8,535 equity contribution, with an institutional investor funding the remaining equity. In conjunction with this transaction, we are entitled to an acquisition fee, as well as asset management, construction management and property management fees. We are also entitled to a carried interest if we meet certain investment returns.
Sunrise, FL Investment
In February 2025, we are scheduled to close a joint venture acquisition of a 400-unit residential community in Sunrise, FL for a purchase price of $117,100. As a general partner, we expect to retain a 4.0% interest, or an $1,800 equity contribution, with an institutional investor funding the remaining equity. In conjunction with this transaction, we will be entitled to an acquisition fee, as well as asset management, construction management and property management fees. We will also be entitled to a carried interest if we meet certain investment returns.
Credit Agreement
In January 2025, we entered into a credit agreement, or our credit agreement, for a $100,000 senior secured revolving credit facility, or our revolving credit facility. Our revolving credit facility is secured by substantially all of our assets and provides us with enhanced financial flexibility as we continue to invest in our private capital initiatives and position ourselves to capitalize on long term growth opportunities. We can borrow, repay and reborrow funds available under our revolving credit facility until maturity, and no principal repayments on borrowings under our credit agreement are due until maturity. The maturity date of our credit agreement is January 22, 2028 and, subject to the payment of an extension fee and meeting certain other requirements, we can extend the maturity date of our revolving credit facility by one year. Interest is payable on borrowings under our credit agreement at a rate of SOFR plus a margin of 225 basis points. We are also required to pay a fee of 50 basis points per annum on the amount of unused lending commitments. Our credit agreement contains a number of covenants, including covenants that require us to maintain certain financial ratios and restrict our ability to incur additional debt in excess of calculated amounts. Availability of borrowings under our credit agreement is subject to ongoing minimum performance, our satisfying certain financial covenants and other credit facility conditions. As of February 3, 2025, we had no amounts outstanding.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following information should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our 2024 Annual Report.
OVERVIEW (dollars in thousands)
RMR Inc. is a holding company and substantially all of its business is conducted by RMR LLC. RMR Inc. has no employees, and the personnel and various services it requires to operate are provided by RMR LLC. RMR LLC manages a diverse portfolio of real estate and real estate related businesses.
Business Environment and Outlook
The continuation and growth of our business depends upon our ability to manage the Managed Equity REITs, our private capital clients and SEVN so as to maintain, grow and increase the value of their businesses, to assist AlerisLife and Sonesta to grow their businesses and operate profitably, and to successfully expand our business through the execution of new business ventures and additional investments. Our business and the businesses of our clients generally follow the business cycle of the U.S. real estate industry, but with certain property type and regional geographic variations. Typically, as the general U.S. economy expands, commercial real estate, or CRE, occupancies increase and new real estate development occurs; new development frequently leads to increased real estate supply and reduced occupancies; and then the cycle repeats. These general trends can be impacted by property type characteristics or regional factors; for example, demographic factors such as the aging U.S. population, the growth of e-commerce retail sales or net population migration across different geographic regions can slow, accelerate, overwhelm or otherwise impact general cyclical trends. Because of such multiple factors, we believe it is often possible to grow real estate based businesses in selected property types or geographic areas despite general national trends.
Beyond general CRE trends, we also take into account general economic factors impacting our clients. Heading in to 2024, certain CRE investors seemed cautiously optimistic that inflation had peaked, that the U.S. economy was likely headed for a “soft-landing” and that the Federal Open Market Committee of the U.S. Federal Reserve, or the FOMC, would be poised to reduce the federal funds rate by 125 to 150 basis points as a result of five or six rate cuts in 2024. With the anticipation of lower interest rates in the future, investors chose to delay sale or refinancing decisions and overall CRE investment and transaction volume remained tepid well into the later half of calendar 2024. In September 2024, the FOMC lowered the targeted federal funds rate by 50 basis points. In December 2024, citing progress toward its 2% inflation target, the FOMC lowered the targeted federal funds rate by 25 basis points, to a range of 4.25% to 4.50%, the second reduction since March 2020. With clarity on the intentions of the FOMC and the possible direction of future interest rates, we believe CRE owners are now better positioned to make sale or refinance decisions and opt between floating or fixed rate financing options.
Although certain CRE investors are cautiously optimistic that the current period of elevated interest rates is nearing an end, other challenges remain. Special servicing rates for commercial mortgage-backed securities, or CMBS, and CRE collateralized loan obligations continue to increase and lenders have become more willing to foreclose on borrowers unable to support underperforming properties. Furthermore, certain segments of the CRE industry continue to experience headwinds in trying to improve operating fundamentals, whether it be post-pandemic shifts in work habits and weak demand for office space impacting the office sector or oversupply in certain markets adversely impacting the industrial and residential sectors.
Both we and our clients consider industry and general economic factors and attempt to take advantage of opportunities when they arise. For example: (i) SVC transitioned over 200 hotels from other hotel operators to Sonesta, which on March 17, 2021, completed its acquisition of RLH Corporation, establishing it as one of the largest hotel companies in the U.S. and expanding its franchising capabilities; (ii) on February 25, 2022, ILPT completed its acquisition of 126 new, Class A, single tenant, net leased, e-commerce focused industrial properties as a result of its acquisition of Monmouth Real Estate Investment Corporation in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $4.0 billion; and (iii) on December 19, 2023, we completed our acquisition of MPC Partnership Holdings LLC, or MPC, for total consideration of $99,021, which added residential capabilities to RMR LLC. In addition, we balance our pursuit of growth of our and our clients’ businesses by executing, on behalf of our clients, prudent capital recycling or business arrangement restructurings in an attempt to help our clients prudently manage leverage and increased operating costs. We also look to reposition their portfolios and businesses when circumstances warrant such changes or when other more desirable opportunities are identified.
Managed Equity REITs
The base business management fees we earn from the Managed Equity REITs are calculated monthly in accordance with the applicable business management agreement and are based on a percentage of the lower of (i) the average historical cost of each REIT’s properties and (ii) each REIT’s average market capitalization. The property management fees we earn from the
Managed Equity REITs are principally based on a percentage of the gross rents collected at certain managed properties owned by the Managed Equity REITs, excluding rents or other revenues from hotels, senior living properties and wellness centers, which are separately managed by AlerisLife, Sonesta or a third party. Also under the terms of the property management agreements, we receive construction supervision fees in connection with certain construction activities undertaken at the properties owned by the Managed Equity REITs based on a percentage of the cost of such construction. For further information regarding the fees we earn, see Note 4, Revenue Recognition, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following table presents for each Managed Equity REIT a summary of its primary strategy and the lesser of the historical cost of its assets under management and its market capitalization as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, as applicable:

DHC | | Medical office and life science properties, senior living communities and other healthcare related properties | | $ | 3,605,263 | | | $ | 3,952,740 | |
ILPT | | Industrial and logistics properties | | 4,549,255 | | | 4,635,406 | |

| | | | $ | 17,105,736 | | | $ | 18,588,598 | |
A Managed Equity REIT’s historical cost of assets under management includes the real estate it owns and its consolidated assets invested directly or indirectly in equity interests in or loans secured by real estate and personal property owned in connection with such real estate (including acquisition related costs which may be allocated to intangibles or are unallocated), all before reserves for depreciation, amortization, impairment charges or bad debts or other similar non-cash reserves. A Managed Equity REIT’s average market capitalization includes the average value of the Managed Equity REIT’s outstanding common equity value during the period, plus the daily weighted average of each of the aggregate liquidation preference of preferred shares and the principal amount of consolidated indebtedness during the period. The table above presents for each Managed Equity REIT, the lesser of the historical cost of its assets under management and its market capitalization as of the end of each period.
The basis on which our base business management fees are calculated for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 may differ from the basis at the end of the periods presented in the table above. As of December 31, 2024, the market capitalization was lower than the historical cost of assets under management for each of the Managed Equity REITs; the historical cost of assets under management for DHC, ILPT, OPI and SVC as of December 31, 2024, were $7,671,448, $5,703,224, $5,454,782 and $11,381,133, respectively.

Management services revenue. Management services revenue increased $1,089 primarily due to growth in management services revenue of $4,451 related to our acquisition of MPC, partially offset by decreases in construction supervision revenues and business management fee revenues earned from the Managed Equity REITs and our Private Capital clients of $1,442 and $1,196, respectively.
Income from loan investments, net. Income from loan investments, net includes loan investment interest income of $1,409 for loans originated, partially offset by interest expense of $863 incurred as part of our private capital business which began in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2024.

A significant portion of these compensation and benefits are charged or passed through to and paid by tenants of our clients.

Reimbursable equity based compensation. Reimbursable equity based compensation includes awards of common shares by our clients directly to certain of our officers and employees in connection with the provision of management services to those clients. We record an equal, offsetting amount as equity based compensation expense for the value of these awards. Reimbursable equity based compensation revenue decreased $2,757 primarily as a result of decreases in certain of our clients’ respective share prices.
Other reimbursable expenses. For further information about these reimbursements, see Note 4, Revenue Recognition, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q. Compensation and benefits.

Equity based compensation. Equity based compensation consists of the value of vested shares awarded to certain of our employees under our and our clients’ equity compensation plans. We record an equal offsetting amount as reimbursable equity based compensation revenue for the value of awards under our clients’ equity compensation plans to certain of our employees. Equity based compensation decreased $2,703 primarily as a result of decreases in certain of our clients’ respective share prices.
Separation costs. Separation costs consists of employment termination costs. For further information about these costs, see Note 10, Related Person Transactions, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q. General and administrative. General and administrative expenses consists of office related expenses, information technology related expenses, employee training, travel, professional services expenses, director compensation and other administrative expenses. General and administrative costs increased $1,770 primarily due to the incremental costs generated by RMR Residential and other professional fees, partially offset by decreases in third party construction supervision fees.
Rental property expenses. Rental property expenses includes property operating expenses, such as real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance and utility costs incurred at our two owned properties.
Transaction and acquisition related costs. Transaction and acquisition related costs primarily represent costs associated with our acquisition of MPC and related integration expenses.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased $1,924 primarily due to full quarter amortization of MPC acquisition related intangible assets and depreciation of our two owned properties in the current fiscal period.
Change in fair value of Earnout liability. For further information about the Earnout liability, see Note 9. Fair Value of Financial Instruments to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Interest income. Interest income decreased $1,952 due to a lower amount of investable cash and lower average interest rates during the current fiscal period compared to the prior period.
(Loss) gain on investments. (Loss) gain on investments represents the unrealized and realized gains or losses on our investment in SEVN common shares and on our consolidation of Carroll MF VII, LLC’s, or MF VII, investment in Carroll Multifamily Venture VII, LP, or Fund VII. For further information, see Note 7, Investments, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Income tax expense. The decrease in income tax expense of $162 is primarily attributable to lower taxable income.

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents leave us well positioned to pursue a range of capital allocation strategies, with a focus on the growth of our private capital business, to fund our operations and cash distributions and enhance our technology infrastructure, in the next twelve months. Our experienced platform and existing relationships with institutional investors has provided us with significant opportunities to continue expanding our private capital business. We intend to diversify and further grow our private capital revenues by sponsoring and managing new real estate related investment funds and joint ventures that may invest in the equity of real estate or provide commercial mortgage loans secured by middle market and transitional real estate in the U.S. We anticipate that using our capital for possible formation costs and co-investment in these ventures will diversify our revenues and generate management fees, incentive fees and potential promote fees.
Our liquidity is highly dependent upon our receipt of fees from the businesses we manage. Historically, we have funded our working capital needs with cash generated from our operating activities. We expect that our future working capital needs will relate largely to our operating expenses, primarily consisting of employee compensation and benefits costs, our obligation to make quarterly tax distributions to the members of RMR LLC, our plan to make quarterly distributions on our Class A Common Shares and Class B-1 Common Shares and our plan to pay quarterly distributions to the members of RMR LLC in connection with the quarterly dividends to RMR Inc. shareholders.
In January 2025, we entered into a credit agreement, or our credit agreement, for a $100,000 senior secured revolving credit facility, or our revolving credit facility. Our revolving credit facility is secured by substantially all of our assets and provides us with enhanced financial flexibility as we continue to invest in our private capital business and position ourselves to capitalize on long term growth opportunities. We can borrow, repay and reborrow funds available under our revolving credit facility until maturity, and no principal repayments on borrowings under our credit agreement are due until maturity. The maturity date of our credit agreement is January 22, 2028 and, subject to the payment of an extension fee and meeting certain other requirements, we can extend the maturity date of our revolving credit facility by one year. Interest is payable on borrowings under our credit agreement at a rate of SOFR plus a margin of 225 basis points. We are also required to pay a fee of 50 basis points per annum on the amount of unused lending commitments. Our credit agreement contains a number of covenants, including covenants that require us to maintain certain financial ratios and restrict our ability to incur additional debt in excess of calculated amounts. Availability of borrowings under our credit agreement is subject to ongoing minimum performance, our satisfying certain financial covenants and other credit facility conditions. As of February 3, 2025, we had no amounts outstanding.
Cash Flows
The $4,902 decrease in net cash flows from operating activities for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to the prior period reflects a decrease in net income and unfavorable changes in working capital. The $76,257 decrease in net cash flows from investing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared to the prior period was due to our acquisition of MPC in the prior period. Net cash flows from financing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was relatively unchanged compared to the prior period.
As of December 31, 2024, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have had or that we expect would be reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Tax Receivable Agreement
We are party to a tax receivable agreement which provides for the payment by RMR Inc. to ABP Trust of 85.0% of the amount of savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax that RMR Inc. realizes as a result of (a) the increases in tax basis attributable to RMR Inc.’s dealings with ABP Trust and (b) tax benefits related to imputed interest deemed to be paid by it as a result of the tax receivable agreement. See Note 10, Related Person Transactions, to our condensed
consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and “Business—Our Organizational Structure—tax receivable agreement” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019. As of December 31, 2024, our condensed consolidated balance sheet reflects a liability related to the tax receivable agreement of $20,863, of which we expect to pay $2,421 to ABP Trust during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025.
Market Risk and Credit Risk
We have not invested in derivative instruments, borrowed through issuing debt securities or transacted in foreign currencies. As of December 31, 2024, our floating rate debt consisted of our purchased assets, which are governed by our master repurchase agreement with UBS AG, or UBS, or our UBS Master Repurchase Agreement and directly relate to our underlying loans held for investment. We are required to pay interest on our floating rate debt at a rate of SOFR plus a premium and earn interest on our underlying loans held for investment at a rate of SOFR plus a premium that is in excess of the premium paid on our floating rate debt. Changes in market interest rates would not impact the fixed spread that we earn between our purchased assets and our loans held for investment. As a result, we are not subject to significant direct market risk related to interest rate changes, changes to the market standard for determining interest rates, or commodity price changes; however, if any of these risks were to negatively impact our clients’ businesses or market capitalization, our revenues would likely decline. We are subject to the credit risk of our borrowers in connection with our loans held for investment. We seek to mitigate this risk by utilizing a comprehensive underwriting, diligence and investment selection process and by ongoing monitoring of our investments. Nevertheless, unanticipated credit losses could occur that may adversely impact our operating results.
In January 2025, we entered into our credit agreement governing our revolving credit facility. Interest payable on borrowings under our credit agreement is at a rate of SOFR plus a margin of 225 basis points. Accordingly, we may be vulnerable to changes in U.S. dollar based short term rates, specifically SOFR. Generally, a change in interest rates would not affect the value of our floating rate debt but would affect our operating results.
To the extent we change our approach on the foregoing activities, or engage in other activities, our market and credit risks could change. See Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our 2024 Annual Report for the risks to us and our clients.
Risks Related to Cash and Short Term Investments
Our cash and cash equivalents include short term, highly liquid investments readily convertible to known amounts of cash that have original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase. We invest a substantial amount of our cash in money market bank accounts. The majority of our cash is maintained in U.S. bank accounts. Some U.S. bank account balances exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit. We believe our cash and short term investments are not subject to any material interest rate risk, equity price risk, credit risk or other market risk.
Related Person Transactions
We have relationships and historical and continuing transactions with Adam Portnoy, the Chair of our Board and one of our Managing Directors, as well as our clients. For further information about these and other such relationships and related person transactions, please see Note 10, Related Person Transactions, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our 2024 Annual Report, our definitive Proxy Statement for our 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and our other filings with the SEC. In addition, see the section captioned “Risk Factors” in our 2024 Annual Report for a description of risks that may arise as a result of these and other related person transactions and relationships. We may engage in additional transactions with related persons, including businesses to which RMR LLC or its subsidiaries provide management services. Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates that impact the condensed consolidated financial statements include the revenue recognized during the reporting periods, the estimation of fair values and our principles of consolidation.
A discussion of our critical accounting estimates is included in our 2024 Annual Report. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates since the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Quantitative and Qualitative disclosures about market risk are set forth above in “Item 2—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation—Market Risk and Credit Risk.”
Item 4. Controls and Procedures

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
