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.

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 $19,578 and $21,246 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $39,977 and $42,796 for the six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, 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 didnot earn incentive business management fees from the Managed Equity REITs for calendar years 2024 or 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.
We earned aggregate base business management fees from the Private Capital clients of $6,579 and $6,613 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $13,386 and $13,295 for the six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, 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 March 31, 2025 and 2024, we earned aggregate property management fees of $17,561 and $20,601, respectively, including construction supervision fees of $1,795 and $3,611, respectively. For the six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we earned aggregate property management fees of $36,538 and $37,463, respectively, including construction supervision fees of $5,624 and $8,882, respectively.
Management Agreements with Private Capital Joint Ventures
We enter into joint venture arrangements with the intent to acquire, improve and sell commercial real estate for a risk-adjusted return. We have management agreements with these joint ventures that entitle us to certain fees, such as property management, construction management fees and reimbursements of certain costs incurred on behalf of the joint ventures. Other applicable fees include:
Acquisition Fees — We recognize revenue when the performance obligation related to the acquisition services is satisfied, typically at the closing of the real estate transaction. Acquisition fees are recorded in management services in our condensed consolidated statements of income. We recognized acquisition fee revenue of $664 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025.
Carried Interest Revenues — For certain investments, through our subsidiaries, we invest alongside limited partners in investment vehicles and are entitled to a pro-rata share of their results, or a pro-rata allocation. In addition to a pro-rata allocation, and assuming certain investment returns are achieved, we are entitled to a disproportionate allocation of the income otherwise allocable to the limited partners, commonly referred to as a carried interest. We recognize carried interest in accordance with the performance-based fee arrangements outlined in our investment management agreements. Carried interest is recognized when the performance criteria specified in the agreements are met, typically upon the realization of investment gains that exceed a predetermined hurdle rate. The recognition of such revenues is contingent upon the achievement of both the investment return threshold and the requisite performance period. This ensures that the earnings process is substantially complete, the amount is reasonably estimable and it is no longer probable that there will be significant reversals. Given the unique nature of each fee arrangement and need for significant judgment, contracts with our clients are evaluated on an individual basis to determine the timing of revenue recognition. Accordingly, a portion of fees we recognize may be partially related to services performed in prior periods that meet recognition criteria in the current period. We did not recognize any carried interest revenues for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
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.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we earned incentive fees from SEVN of $19 and $60, respectively, and $87 and $359 for the six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We earned advisory services revenue of $1,104 and $1,126 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $2,245 and $2,251 for the six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, 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 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 six months ended March 31, 2025, 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 and six months ended March 31, 2025, we amortized an aggregate $118 and $235, respectively, in deferred origination fees and exit fees. As of March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, deferred origination fees of $511 and $651, respectively, remain unamortized and we accrued $130 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 March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024:
| March 31, 2025 | 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 | 8.39% | 9.15% |
| Weighted average all in yield (2) | 9.33% | 10.13% |
| Weighted average floor | 4.34% | 4.34% |
| Weighted average maximum maturity (years) (3) | 4.27 | 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 March 31, 2025, ourtwo 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 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 condensed 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 March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, we recorded an allowance for credit losses of $113 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. Aggregate reversal of credit losses was $81 and $153 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025, respectively.
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 March 31, 2025, we recognized $422 in prepaid and other current assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets related to accrued interest receivable on our loans and no amounts were written off for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025.
As of March 31, 2025 and April 30, 2025, our borrowers with outstanding loans had paid their debt service obligations owed and due to us.

Mortgage Note Payable, Net
As of March 31, 2025, one of our residential properties 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 $1,211 as of March 31, 2025.
Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility
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 byone 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 March 31, 2025 and April 30, 2025, we had no amounts outstanding.
Note 7. Investments
Seven Hills Realty Trust
As of March 31, 2025, 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 determined 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 March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, based on quoted market prices, was $21,334 and $23,520, respectively. The unrealized (loss) gain in our condensed consolidated statements of income related to our investment in SEVN was $(409) and $563 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $(990) and $4,612 for the six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We received distributions from SEVN of $598 and $597 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $1,196 and $1,195 for the six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
Carroll MF VII, LLC and Carroll Multifamily Venture VII, LP
Prior to December 2024, we 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 and six months ended March 31, 2025, which included $687 in accounts payable and accrued expenses. As of March 31, 2025, MF VII owned a $3,813 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. The unrealized loss in our condensed consolidated statements of income related to our investment in MF VII was $300 and $790 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025, respectively.
Private Capital Joint Ventures
In the second fiscal quarter of 2025, we closed two joint venture acquisitions: (i) a 225-unit residential community in Pompano Beach, FL, or the Pompano JV, and (ii) a 400-unit residential community in Sunrise, FL, or the Sunrise JV, for an aggregate purchase price of $190,100. As general partner of both joint ventures, we made an aggregate equity contribution of $11,031, with institutional investors funding the remaining equity. In conjunction with these transactions, we earned aggregate acquisition fees of $664 and are entitled to construction management and property management fees pursuant to management agreements with these private capital joint ventures. We are also entitled to a carried interest if we meet certain investment returns. We account for our investments in the Pompano JV and Sunrise JV using the equity method of accounting because we are deemed to exert significant influence, but not control, over these joint ventures’ most significant activities. We elected the fair value option to account for our investments and determined their fair values using unobservable Level 3 inputs. There was no change in the fair value of our investments in the Pompano JV and Sunrise JV for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025.
For further information regarding the fair value of these investments and the 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 and six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, all of our income before taxes was derived solely from domestic operations.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recognized estimated income tax expense of $1,378 and $2,120, respectively, which includes $986 and $1,635, respectively, of U.S. federal income tax and $392 and $485, respectively, of state income taxes. For the six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recognized estimated income tax expense of $3,854 and $4,758, respectively, which includes $2,798 and $3,336, respectively, of U.S. federal income tax and $1,056 and $1,422, respectively, of state income taxes.
A reconciliation of the statutory income tax rate to the effective tax rate is as follows:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | Six Months Ended March 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| Income taxes computed at the federal statutory rate | 21.0% | 21.0% | 21.0% | 21.0% |
| State taxes, net of federal benefit | 3.2% | 2.5% | 3.0% | 2.6% |
| Permanent items | 0.7% | 0.5% | 0.7% | 0.6% |
| Uncertain tax position reserve, net of federal benefit | 0.3% | —% | 0.2% | —% |
| Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest | (10.0)% | (9.7)% | (9.9)% | (9.8)% |
| Total | 15.2% | 14.3% | 15.0% | 14.4% |
The components of the deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2025 and 2024 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 March 31, 2024, 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 March 31, 2025 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 March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024:
| As of March 31, 2025 | As of September 30, 2024 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carrying Value | Fair Value | Carrying Value | Fair Value | |
| Loans held for investment | $58,086 | $59,282 | $56,221 | $57,365 |
| Secured financing facility | 41,084 | 41,862 | 41,109 | 41,793 |
| Mortgage note payable | 45,289 | 45,921 | 45,149 | 46,520 |
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:
| Total | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Leases
As of March 31, 2025, 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 $1,334 and $1,438 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $2,732 and $2,745 for the six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, 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 March 31, 2025, 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 six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, RMR LLC made required quarterly tax distributions to holders of its membership units totaling $12,679 and $15,253, respectively, of which $6,741 and $8,092, respectively, was distributed to us and $5,938 and $7,161, 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.
RMR LLC entered into a letter agreement, or the Retirement Agreement, dated February 5, 2025, with Jennifer B. Clark, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of RMR Inc. and of RMR LLC. For more information on the Retirement Agreement, see Part II, Item 5 “Other Information” of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on February 5, 2025.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recognized separation costs for certain officers and employees of $3,455 and $410, respectively, including cash separation costs of $3,178 and $0, respectively, and equity based separation costs of $277 and $410, respectively. For the six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recognized separation costs for certain officers and employees of $3,455 and $3,954, respectively, including cash separation costs of $3,178 and $3,446, respectively, and equity based separation costs of $277 and $508, respectively.
Note 11. Shareholders’ Equity
We award our Class A common stock, or Class A Common Shares, to our Directors, officers and employees under the Second Amended and Restated 2016 Omnibus Equity Plan adopted at our 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Director share awards vest immediately. Officer and employee share awards vest infive 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.
On March 27, 2025, we awarded 5,988 of our Class A Common Shares, valued at $16.70 per share, the closing price of our Class A Common Shares on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, or Nasdaq, on that day, to each of our six Directors as part of his or her annual compensation for serving as a Director. For the six months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded general and administrative expense of $600 for these awards.
Equity based compensation expense related to shares awarded to certain officers and employees was $474 and $458 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $1,030 and $960 for the six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. As of March 31, 2025, we had 229,051 unvested shares outstanding which are scheduled to vest as follows:90,701 shares in 2025,62,858 shares in 2026,47,145 shares in 2027 and 28,347 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 1,377 and 1,671 Class A Common Shares repurchased during the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 was $23 and $29, respectively, 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 six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, 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:

As of March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $137,186 and $141,599, respectively, of which $21,317 and $23,189, respectively, was held by RMR Inc., and $115,869 and $118,410, respectively, was held by RMR LLC and its subsidiaries. The remainder of the dividends noted above were funded with cash accumulated at RMR Inc.
On April 10, 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 April 22, 2025, in the amount of $0.45 per Class A Common Share and Class B-1 Common Share, or $7,596. 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 $10,201, of which $5,401 will be distributed to us based on our aggregate ownership of 16,879,239 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 May 15, 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 aone-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 March 31, 2025, the assumed redemption is anti-dilutive to earnings per share. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and the six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the assumed redemption is dilutive to earnings per share.
The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, is as follows (amounts in thousands, except per share amounts):

(1)Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest in consolidated entity is not adjusted when calculating diluted earnings per share.
(2)Income tax expense assumes the hypothetical conversion of the noncontrolling interest in The RMR Group LLC, which results in an estimated tax rate of 28.9% for the six months ended March 31, 2025 and 28.7% and 28.5% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2024, respectively.

Note 14. Subsequent Events
As part of our strategic initiative to expand our private capital business, our plan is to acquire a small portfolio of value-add retail properties to establish a track record in this sector for future fundraising efforts. In April 2025, we closed an acquisition of a 77% leased,22-acre community shopping center in Chicago, IL for a purchase price of $21,250, excluding closing costs. We acquired this value-add property in an all-cash transaction.
