We also closed the CARROLL acquisition in mid- December, providing RMR an attractive platform to drive long term growth and value creation in the residential sector. This transaction further strengthens our position as a scaled, alternative asset manager with over $41 billion of assets under management across all major sectors of commercial real estate. We remain well positioned to take advantage of future growth opportunities with more than $200 million of cash and no corporate indebtedness.” Adam Portnoy, President and Chief Executive Officer THE RMR GROUP INC.

21 RMR presents certain “non-GAAP financial measures” within the meaning of the applicable rules of the SEC, including Adjusted Net Income Attributable to The RMR Group Inc., Adjusted Net Income Attributable to The RMR Group Inc. per diluted share, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Distributable Earnings. The GAAP financial measure that is most directly comparable to Adjusted Net Income Attributable to The RMR Group Inc. is net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc. The GAAP financial measure that is most directly comparable to Adjusted Net Income Attributable to The RMR Group Inc. per diluted share is net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc. per diluted share. The GAAP financial measure that is most directly comparable to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Earnings is net income and the GAAP financial measure that is most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA Margin is Net Income Margin, which represents net income divided by total management and advisory services revenues. These non-GAAP financial measures do not represent net income, net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc., net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc. per diluted share or cash generated by operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered alternatives to net income, net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc., net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc. per diluted share or net income margin determined in accordance with GAAP, as indicators of RMR’s financial performance or as measures of its liquidity. Other asset management businesses may calculate these non-GAAP measures differently than RMR does. • Adjusted Net Income Attributable to The RMR Group Inc. RMR calculates Adjusted Net Income Attributable to The RMR Group Inc. and Adjusted Net Income Attributable to The RMR Group Inc. per diluted share as net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc. and net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc. per diluted share, respectively, excluding the effects of certain individually significant items occurring or impacting its financial results during the quarter that are not expected to be regularly occurring, relate to a special project or initiatives or relate to gains or losses. RMR provides Adjusted Net Income Attributable to The RMR Group Inc. and Adjusted Net Income Attributable to The RMR Group Inc. per diluted share for supplemental informational purposes in order to enhance the understanding of RMR’s condensed consolidated statements of income and to facilitate a comparison of RMR’s current operating performance with its historical operating performance. • Distributable Earnings is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA less tax distributions to members and is considered to be an appropriate measure of RMR’s operating performance, along with net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc. RMR believes that Distributable Earnings provides useful information to investors because by excluding amounts payable for tax obligations, it increases comparability between periods and more accurately reflects earnings that may be available for distribution to shareholders. Distributable Earnings is among the factors RMR’s Board of Directors considers when determining shareholder dividends. • Distributable Earnings Per Share calculations are based on end of period shares outstanding and includes 15,000,000 Redeemable Class A Units of RMR LLC which are paired with RMR Inc's. Class B-2 common shares outstanding; actual dividends are paid to shareholders as of the applicable record date. • EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are supplemental measures used to assess operating performance, along with net income, net income attributable to The RMR Group Inc. and net income margin. RMR believes that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain amounts, such as non-cash items or non-recurring gains and losses, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin may facilitate a comparison of current operating performance with RMR’s historical operating performance and with the performance of other asset management businesses. RMR also believes that providing Adjusted EBITDA Margin may help investors assess RMR’s performance of its business by providing the margin that Adjusted EBITDA represents to its contractual management and advisory fees (excluding incentive business management fees, if any).

26 Notes to page 20 – CALCULATION OF NET INCOME MARGIN, ADJUSTED EBITDA MARGIN, DISTRIBUTABLE EARNINGS AND DISTRIBUTABLE EARNINGS PER SHARE (1) Contractual management and advisory fees are the base business management fees, property management fees and advisory fees RMR or its subsidiaries earns pursuant to its management agreements. These amounts are calculated pursuant to the contractual formulas and do not deduct other asset amortization of $2,354 for each of the three month periods presented, required to be recognized as a reduction to management services revenues in accordance with GAAP. (2) Under the RMR LLC operating agreement, RMR LLC is required to make quarterly pro rata cash distributions to RMR and its noncontrolling interest based on each’s estimated tax liabilities and respective ownership percentages. Estimated tax liabilities are determined quarterly on a cumulative basis. As such, there may be fluctuations from quarter to quarter to account for prior periods where pro rata cash distributions were more or less than amounts determined cumulatively through a particular quarter. For each of the three month periods presented, RMR LLC made required quarterly tax distributions as follows: NOTES (CONTINUED) Notes to page 13 – GAAP RESULTS: EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE RMR calculates earnings per share (EPS) using the two-class method. As such, earnings attributable to unvested participating shares are excluded from earnings before calculating per share amounts. In addition, diluted EPS includes the assumed issuance of Class A Common Shares pursuant to RMR’s equity compensation plan using the treasury stock method and the issuance of Class A Common Shares related to the assumed redemption of the noncontrolling interest in The RMR Group LLC’s 15,000,000 Class A Units using the if-converted method. In computing the dilutive effect, if any, that the assumed redemption would have on EPS, RMR considered net income available to holders of 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 and 2022, the assumed redemption of the 15,000,000 Class A Units is dilutive to earnings per share. (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's Class A Units, which results in estimated tax rates of 28.5% and 29.8% for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. (a) Tax distributions for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, exclude $10 and $4,352, respectively, to The RMR Group Inc., and $10 and $3,848, respectively, to the noncontrolling interest, related to incentive business management fees earned from SEVN which are considered non-recurring transactions. ($ in thousands) 1Q'24 (a) 4Q'23 (a) 1Q'23 RMR LLC tax distributions to The RMR Group Inc. $ 4,550 $ 4,430 $ 4,255 RMR LLC tax distributions to noncontrolling interest 4,092 3,998 3,839 Total RMR LLC tax distributions to members $ 8,642 $ 8,428 $ 8,094


 
27 • Assets Under Management (AUM) All references in this presentation to AUM on, or as of, a date are calculated at a point in time. ▪ AUM is calculated as: (i) the historical cost of real estate and related assets, excluding depreciation, amortization, impairment charges or other non-cash reserves, of the Managed Equity REITs and certain Private Capital clients, plus (ii) the gross book value of real estate assets, property and equipment of AlerisLife, Sonesta and until May 15, 2023, TA, excluding depreciation, amortization, impairment charges or other non-cash reserves, plus (iii) the carrying value of loans held for investment and real estate owned by SEVN, plus (iv) the fair value of RMR Residential, both owned and third-party managed assets. Upon deconsolidation from a Managed Equity REIT, the respective real estate and related assets are characterized as Private Capital and their historical cost represents the fair value of the real estate at the time of deconsolidation. ▪ Fee-Earning AUM is calculated (i) monthly for the Managed Equity REITs, based upon the lower of the average historical cost of each REIT's properties and its average market capitalization, plus (ii) for all other clients, Fee-Earning AUM equals AUM and includes amounts that may differ from the measures used for purposes of calculating fees under the terms of the respective management agreements. For additional information on the calculation of AUM for purposes of the fee provisions of the business management agreements, see RMR's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, filed with the SEC. RMR's SEC filings are available at the SEC website: www.sec.gov. • GAAP refers to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. • Managed Equity REITs refers to Diversified Healthcare Trust (DHC), Industrial Logistics Properties Trust (ILPT), Office Properties Income Trust (OPI) and Service Properties Trust (SVC). • Mountain JV refers to Mountain Industrial REIT LLC, a joint venture in which ILPT owns a majority interest (and accordingly is presented in ILPT’s consolidated results). • Perpetual Capital refers to capital with an indefinite duration, which may be terminated under certain conditions, and includes the Managed Equity REITs, Seven Hills Realty Trust (SEVN), and until it was acquired by BP Products North America Inc. on May 15, 2023, TravelCenters of America Inc. (TA). • Private Capital consists of AlerisLife Inc. (AlerisLife), Sonesta International Hotels Corporation (Sonesta), residential real estate we manage from our acquisition of MPC Partnership Holdings LLC (RMR Residential) and other private capital vehicles including ABP Trust and other private entities that own commercial real estate. Some of the Managed Equity REITs own minority interests in certain of these entities. AlerisLife was a publicly traded company until March 20, 2023 when it was acquired by a subsidiary of ABP Trust. As a result, amounts for AlerisLife are characterized as Private Capital for all periods presented. DEFINITIONS
