 and damage our business prospects. In addition, if any lawsuits were brought against us and resulted in a finding of substantial legal liability, it could materially, adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations or cause significant reputational harm to us, which could materially impact our business.

For example, on October 1, 2025, a jury in Boone County, Missouri returned a verdict against our subsidiary, Marcus & Millichap Real Estate Investment Services, Inc., in connection with the 2019 sale of a student-housing property near the University of Missouri. The jury awarded the purchaser of the property $4.075 million in actual damages and $20.0 million in punitive damages and awarded another party $10.0 million in punitive damages with $0 in actual damages. On October 24, 2025, the judge entered judgments in the above amounts in favor of the purchaser and the other party. We deny wrongdoing and believe the verdict was rendered in error and contrary to Missouri law. The judgments are subject to post-trial motions and appeal. A hearing has been scheduled for January 6, 2026 to consider post-trial motions.

Management has estimated a range of possible loss from $0 to approximately $34.1 million, exclusive of any pre-judgment interest or costs. We recorded an accrual of $4.0 million, representing approximately the actual damages awarded. If our post-trial motions or appeals are not successful in reversing or significantly reducing the awards, we could be required to record significant additional charges, which could have a material impact on our financial results.

In the event of a substantial loss, our commercial insurance coverage and/or self-insurance reserve levels might not be sufficient to pay the full damages, or the scope of available coverage may not cover certain types of claims. Further, the value of otherwise valid claims we hold under insurance policies could become uncollectible in the event of the covering insurance company’s insolvency, although we seek to limit this risk by placing our commercial insurance only with highly-rated companies. Any of these events could negatively impact our business, financial condition or results of operations.
