RMR GROUP INC. (RMR)

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 2025 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, SEVN and our private capital clients so as to maintain, grow and increase the value of their businesses 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 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.

Despite some macroeconomic uncertainty, both we and our clients will continue to balance our pursuit of growth of our and our clients’ businesses by executing, on behalf of our clients, sensible 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.

We are also actively investing in our capital formation capabilities and continuously engaging with institutional investors seeking to deploy capital into North American commercial real estate.

Managed Equity REITs

The base business management fees we earn from the Managed Equity REITs, with the exception of OPI, 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 communities, travel centers and wellness centers, which are separately managed by 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.

In connection with OPI’s emergence from chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on June 17, 2026, we entered into an amended and restated business management agreement and an amended and restated property management agreement with OPI, each with initial terms of five years and terminable without payment of a termination fee after the first two years. Under the amended and restated business management agreement, we are entitled to an annual fee of $14.0 million during the first two years and we will be paid a 3.0% property management fee and a 5.0% construction supervision fee under the new property management agreement, consistent with the prior property management agreement.

For further information regarding the fees we earn, see Note 4, Revenue Recognition, and for further information regarding our amended and restated management agreements with OPI, Note 3, Related Person Transactions, to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Table of Contents

The following table presents for each Managed Equity REIT, with the exception of OPI, a summary of its primary strategy and the lesser of the historical cost of its assets under management and its market capitalization as of June 30, 2026 and 2025, as applicable:

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 real estate (including acquisition related costs which may be allocated to intangibles or are unallocated), all before reserves for depreciation, amortization, impairment charges 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, if any, and the principal amount of consolidated indebtedness during the period. The table above presents for each Managed Equity REIT, with the exception of OPI, 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 is calculated for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 may differ from the basis at the end of the periods presented in the table above. As of June 30, 2026, the market capitalization was lower than the historical cost of assets under management for DHC, ILPT and SVC; the historical cost of assets under management for DHC, ILPT and SVC as of June 30, 2026, were $6,777,893, $5,713,404 and $9,904,087, respectively.

Other Clients

We provide business management services to Sonesta and AlerisLife. Sonesta manages and franchises hotels, resorts and cruise ships in the United States, Latin America, the Caribbean and the Middle East; the majority of the U.S. hotels that Sonesta operates are owned by SVC. AlerisLife operated senior living communities throughout the U.S., many of which were owned by DHC. In September 2025, AlerisLife announced that it had entered into agreements to transition the management of its senior living communities to third party operators and in January 2026 completed the sale of all of its assets. AlerisLife will continue to wind down its business and operations. RMR LLC will continue to provide management services through the wind down period. Generally, our fees earned from business management services to Sonesta and AlerisLife are based on a percentage of certain revenues.

In addition, we also provide management services to certain other Private Capital clients, including high-quality institutional investor relationships we maintain through RMR Residential, and earn fees based on a percentage of average invested capital, as defined in the applicable agreements, property management fees based on a percentage of rents collected from managed properties and construction supervision fees based on a percentage of the cost of construction activities. RMR Residential also provides us the potential to generate a carried interest on any new co-investments in the future.

Our management fee revenues from services to these clients for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, are set forth in the following tables:

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following information should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

OVERVIEW (dollars in thousands)

Business Environment and Outlook

The continuation and growth of our business depends upon our ability to manage the Managed Equity REITs, SEVN and our private capital clients so as to maintain, grow and increase the value of their businesses 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.

U.S. trade and fiscal policy, coupled with ongoing geopolitical tensions, has caused uncertainty in financial markets. As a result, we believe many CRE investors continue to remain on the sidelines, waiting until they have greater clarity on the outcomes of negotiations with U.S. trade partners, new tariff announcements, domestic fiscal policy initiatives and the path of interest rates to make buy and sell decisions.

Despite the macroeconomic uncertainty, both we and our clients will continue to balance our pursuit of growth of our and our clients’ businesses by executing, on behalf of our clients, sensible 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.

For a discussion of some of the circumstances that may adversely affect us and our business, see elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including “Warning Concerning Forward-Looking Statements”, Part I, Item 1 “Business” and Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors”.

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.

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. In connection with OPI’s voluntary chapter 11 petitions on October 30, 2025, we entered into a restructuring support agreement with OPI and certain of its lenders pursuant to which we have agreed to terms for new management agreements with OPI to take effect upon the effectiveness of OPI’s plan of reorganization. Pursuant to the management agreement term sheet, the initial term of the new management agreements will be five years, RMR LLC will be paid an annual fee under the new business management agreement of $14.0 million payable per year for the first two years, and RMR LLC will be paid a 3% property management fee and a 5% construction supervision fee under the new property management agreement, consistent with the existing property management agreement. The current management agreements between OPI and RMR LLC will remain in effect during the pendency of the OPI chapter 11 cases, and RMR LLC will continue to manage OPI’s business in the ordinary course. For further information regarding the fees we earn, see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our consolidated financial statements included in Part IV, Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
