CBRE GROUP, INC. REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR SECOND-QUARTER 2024

Dallas, TX – July 25, 2024 — CBRE Group, Inc. (NYSE:CBRE) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Key Highlights:

Revenue up 9%; net revenue up 11%
Resilient Business(1) net revenue increased 14%, bolstered by Turner & Townsend’s 18% growth
Advisory transaction revenue - leasing and capital markets - rose 5%, supported by growth of 13% in U.S. leasing revenue and 20% in mortgage origination fees
GAAP EPS down 34% to $0.42; Core EPS down 2% to $0.81
Deployed $1.3 billion of capital year-to-date across M&A and REI co-investments
Both net cash flow from operations and free cash flow improved by approximately $300 million; free cash flow conversion was nearly 90%
Now expect slightly over $1 billion of free cash flow for the full year
Increased full-year Core EPS outlook to a range of $4.70 to $4.90 – up from $4.25 to $4.65

“CBRE had a successful second quarter for three reasons. First, revenue, profitability and cash flow exceeded our expectations, with outperformance across all three business segments. Second, we made several sizable capital investments consistent with our strategy to invest in cyclically resilient or secularly favored elements of our business. And third, we made quick, material progress on the cost challenges we identified last quarter,” said Bob Sulentic, chair and chief executive officer of CBRE.

In Europe, the Middle East & Africa (EMEA), leasing revenue fell 3% (4% local currency) with growth in the Netherlands, Poland and Spain offset by weakness elsewhere in the region.

Capital Markets
Property sales revenue began to stabilize. Global sales revenue declined 3% (2% local currency), less pronounced than expected.
EMEA once again paced global activity with sales revenue up 3% (same local currency), led by double-digit growth in the United Kingdom, where property values have largely reset.
In contrast, sales revenue fell 4% (same local currency) in the Americas and 5% (up 1% local currency) in APAC. Greater China, India and Singapore showed solid growth in the quarter.
Among property types, industrial and multifamily sales showed global growth.
Mortgage origination revenue jumped 38% (same local currency), led by a 20% increase in loan origination fees reflecting refinancing activity with debt funds, as well as higher interest earnings on escrow balances.

Other Advisory Business Lines
Loan servicing revenue rose 7% (6% local currency). The servicing portfolio increased to more than $425 billion, up 3% for the quarter and 7% from a year ago.
Property management net revenue increased 16% (same local currency), fueled by the onboarding of the Brookfield 65 million sq. ft. U.S. office portfolio.
Valuations revenue edged up 2% (3% local currency). Growth was strongest in Continental Europe.

Project management net revenue rose 11% (12% local currency), with continued strong growth from Turner & Townsend.
Net operating margin improved 20 basis points compared with first-quarter 2024 reflecting the early benefit of recent cost actions but was below the prior-year second quarter level.

Investment Management
Total revenue slipped 2% (1% local currency).
Operating profit increased 4% (5% local currency) to approximately $39 million, largely due to higher co-investment returns.
Assets Under Management (AUM) totaled $142.5 billion, a decrease of $1.5 billion from first-quarter 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by lower asset values as well as adverse foreign currency movement.

Real Estate Development
Global development operating loss(9) totaled approximately $26 million. As expected, asset sales activity was limited in the period.
The in-process portfolio ended second-quarter 2024 at $18.8 billion, unchanged from first-quarter 2024. The pipeline increased $0.3 billion during the quarter to $13.1 billion.

Corporate and Other Segment
Non-core operating loss totaled $13 million, primarily due to the lower value of the company’s investment in Altus Power, Inc. (NYSE:AMPS), reflecting a decline in its share price during the quarter.
Core corporate operating loss increased by approximately $29 million, primarily due to a resetting of incentive compensation, which had been reduced in last year’s second quarter.

Additional information concerning factors that may influence the company’s financial information is discussed under “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” and “Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, our latest quarterly report on Form 10-Q, as well as in the company’s press releases and other periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Such filings are available publicly and may be obtained on the company’s website at www.cbre.com or upon written request from CBRE’s Investor Relations Department at investorrelations@cbre.com.
The terms “net revenue,” “core adjusted net income,” “core EBITDA,” “core EPS,” “business line operating profit (loss),” “segment operating profit on revenue margin,” “segment operating profit on net revenue margin,” “net debt” and “free cash flow,” all of which CBRE uses in this press release, are non-GAAP financial measures under SEC guidelines, and you should refer to the footnotes below as well as the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section in this press release for a further explanation of these measures. We have also included in that section reconciliations of these measures in specific periods to their most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP for those periods.
Totals may not sum in tables in millions included in this release due to rounding.

Note: We have not reconciled the (non-GAAP) core earnings per share forward-looking guidance included in this release to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because this cannot be done without unreasonable effort due to the variability and low visibility with respect to costs related to acquisitions, carried interest incentive compensation and financing costs, which are potential adjustments to future earnings. We expect the variability of these items to have a potentially unpredictable, and a potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.

(1)Net revenue from Resilient Businesses includes facilities management, project management, property management, loan servicing, valuations and investment management business fees. Net revenue from Transactional Businesses includes sales, leasing, mortgage origination, carried interest and incentive fees in the investment management business, and development fees.
(2)Local currency percentage change is calculated by comparing current-period results at prior-period exchange rates versus prior-period results.
(3)Net revenue is gross revenue less costs largely associated with subcontracted vendor work performed for clients. These costs are reimbursable by clients and generally have no margin.



CBRE Press Release
July 25, 2024
Page 8
(4)Core adjusted net income and core earnings per diluted share (or core EPS) exclude the effect of select items from GAAP net income and GAAP earnings per diluted share as well as adjust the provision for (benefit from) income taxes and impact on non-controlling interest for such charges. Adjustments during the periods presented included non-cash depreciation and amortization expense related to certain assets attributable to acquisitions and restructuring activities, interest expense related to indirect tax settlement, certain carried interest incentive compensation expense (reversal) to align with the timing of associated revenue, costs incurred related to legal entity restructuring, write-off of financing costs on extinguished debt, integration and other costs related to acquisitions, asset impairments, costs associated with efficiency and cost-reduction initiatives, and charges related to indirect tax settlement. It also removes the fair value changes and related tax impact of certain strategic non-core non-controlling equity investments that are not directly related to our business segments (including venture capital “VC” related investments).
(5)Core EBITDA represents earnings, inclusive of non-controlling interest, before net interest expense, write-off of financing costs on extinguished debt, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, asset impairments, adjustments related to certain carried interest incentive compensation expense (reversal) to align with the timing of associated revenue, costs incurred related to legal entity restructuring, integration and other costs related to acquisitions, costs associated with efficiency and cost-reduction initiatives, charges related to indirect tax settlement. It also removes the fair value changes, on a pre-tax basis, of certain strategic non-core non-controlling equity investments that are not directly related to our business segments (including venture capital “VC” related investments).
(6)Free cash flow is calculated as cash flow provided by operations, less capital expenditures (reflected in the investing section of the consolidated statement of cash flows).
(7)Segment operating profit (loss) is the measure reported to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to each segment and assessing performance of each segment. Segment operating profit represents earnings, inclusive of non-controlling interest, before net interest expense, write-off of financing costs on extinguished debt, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and asset impairments, as well as adjustments related to the following: certain carried interest incentive compensation expense (reversal) to align with the timing of associated revenue, costs incurred related to legal entity restructuring, integration and other costs related to acquisitions, costs associated with efficiency and cost-reduction initiatives, and charges related to indirect tax settlement.
(8)Segment operating profit on revenue and net revenue margins represent segment operating profit divided by revenue and net revenue, respectively.
(9)Represents line of business profitability/losses, as adjusted.
(10)For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the company incurred capital expenditures of $66.8 million (reflected in the investing section of the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows) and received tenant concessions from landlords of $5.9 million (reflected in the operating section of the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows).
(11)Net debt is calculated as total debt (excluding non-recourse debt) less cash and cash equivalents.
(12)Cash represents cash and cash equivalents (excluding restricted cash).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The following measures are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under SEC guidelines:
(i)Net revenue
(ii)Core EBITDA
(iii)Business line operating profit/loss
(iv)Segment operating profit on revenue and net revenue margins
(v)Free cash flow
(vi)Net debt
(vii)Core net income attributable to CBRE Group, Inc. stockholders, as adjusted (which we also refer to as “core adjusted net income”)
(viii)Core EPS
These measures are not recognized measurements under United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). When analyzing our operating performance, investors should use these measures in addition to, and not as an alternative for, their most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Our management generally uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate operating performance and for other discretionary purposes. The company believes these measures provide a more complete understanding of ongoing operations, enhance comparability of current results to prior periods and may be useful for investors to analyze our financial performance because they eliminate the impact of selected charges that may obscure trends in the underlying performance of our business. The company further uses certain of these measures, and believes that they are useful to investors, for purposes described below.
With respect to net revenue, net revenue is gross revenue less costs largely associated with subcontracted vendor work performed for clients. We believe that investors may find this measure useful to analyze the company’s overall financial performance because it excludes costs reimbursable by clients that generally have no margin, and as such provides greater visibility into the underlying performance of our business.
With respect to Core EBITDA, business line operating profit/loss, and segment operating profit on revenue and net revenue margins, the company believes that investors may find these measures useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry because their calculations generally eliminate the accounting effects of strategic acquisitions, which would include impairment charges of goodwill and intangibles created from such acquisitions, the effects of financings and income tax and the accounting effects of capital spending. All of these measures may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. In the case of Core EBITDA, this measure is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for our management’s discretionary use because it does not consider cash requirements such as tax and debt service payments. The Core EBITDA measure calculated herein may also differ from the amounts calculated under similarly titled definitions in our credit facilities and debt instruments, which amounts are further adjusted to reflect certain other cash and non-cash charges and are used by us to determine compliance with financial covenants therein and our ability to engage in certain activities, such as incurring additional debt. The company also uses segment operating profit and core EPS as significant components when measuring our operating performance under our employee incentive compensation programs.
With respect to free cash flow, the company believes that investors may find this measure useful to analyze the cash flow generated from operations after accounting for cash outflows to support operations and capital expenditures. With respect to net debt, the company believes that investors use this measure when calculating the company’s net leverage ratio.

With respect to core EBITDA, core EPS and core adjusted net income, the company believes that investors may find these measures useful to analyze the underlying performance of operations without the impact of strategic non-core equity investments (Altus Power, Inc. and certain other investments) that are not directly related to our business segments. These can be volatile and are often non-cash in nature.
