Key Terms

gaap financial
GAAP, or Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, are a set of standardized rules and guidelines that companies follow when preparing their financial statements. They ensure consistency, transparency, and comparability across different companies, making it easier for investors to understand and compare financial information accurately. This helps investors make informed decisions based on trustworthy and uniform financial reports.
pass-through costs financial
Costs that a company collects from customers and forwards to a third party instead of paying from its own pocket, such as taxes, shipping fees, or supplier surcharges. Investors care because these amounts inflate reported revenue without reflecting the firm’s underlying profit or operating performance—think of a store charging a delivery fee that it immediately sends to the courier rather than keeping it as income.
free cash flow financial
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
net leverage ratio financial
The net leverage ratio measures how much debt a company has compared to its available assets or earnings, after accounting for its cash and liquid assets. It helps investors understand how heavily a company relies on borrowed money to finance its operations and growth. A higher ratio indicates greater financial risk, while a lower ratio suggests a more cautious approach to borrowing.

Real Estate Development

  • Operating profit(8) totaled $9 million.
  • The portfolio of in-process projects and pipeline ended the second quarter at $29.6 billion, unchanged from the prior quarter. Excluding fee development, the overall portfolio stands at $21.2 billion.

Investment Management

  • Revenue edged up 2% (1% local currency), reflecting higher recurring asset management fees.
  • Operating profit(8) increased 3% (same local currency), as higher asset management fees were partly offset by lower co-investment returns.
  • Assets under management (AUM) ended the second quarter at approximately $155 billion, down slightly from the prior quarter, driven by unfavorable currency movement.

Core Corporate Segment

Core corporate operating loss increased by approximately $9 million for the quarter, primarily driven by higher incentive compensation related to the company’s strong performance.

Capital Allocation Overview

  • Free Cash Flow – Free cash flow totaled nearly $1.7 billion for the 12 months ended June 30, 2026.
  • Stock Repurchase Program – Year-to-date, the company repurchased nearly $1.0 billion worth of shares.

Leverage and Financing Overview

  • Leverage – CBRE’s net leverage ratio (net debt(9) to trailing twelve-month core EBITDA) was 1.60x as of June 30, 2026. The net leverage ratio is computed as follows (dollars in millions):

Safe Harbor and Footnotes

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding the economic outlook, the company’s future growth momentum, operations and business outlook.

our ability to identify, acquire and integrate accretive businesses; costs and potential future capital requirements relating to businesses we may acquire; integration challenges arising out of companies we may acquire; increases in unemployment and general slowdowns in economic or commercial activity; trends in pricing and risk assumption for commercial real estate services; the effect of significant changes in supply/demand and capitalization rates across different property types; a reduction by companies in their reliance on outsourcing for their commercial real estate needs, which would affect our revenues and operating performance; client actions to restrain project spending and reduce outsourced staffing levels;

our ability to leverage our global services platform to maximize and sustain long-term cash flow; our ability to continue investing in our platform and client service offerings; our ability to maintain expense discipline;

the ability of our investment management business to maintain and grow assets under management and achieve desired investment returns for our investors, and any potential related litigation, liabilities or reputational harm possible if we fail to do so; our ability to manage fluctuations in net earnings and cash flow, which could result from poor performance in our investment programs, including our participation as a principal in real estate investments; the ability of our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, CBRE Capital Markets, Inc. to periodically amend, or replace, on satisfactory terms, the agreements for its warehouse lines of credit; declines in lending activity of U.S. Government Sponsored Enterprises, regulatory oversight of such activity and our loan servicing revenue from the commercial real estate mortgage market; changes in U.S. and international law and regulatory environments (including relating to anti-corruption, anti-money laundering, trade sanctions, tariffs, currency controls and other trade control laws), particularly in Asia, Africa, Russia, Eastern Europe and the Middle East, due to the level of political instability in those regions;

our leverage under our debt instruments as well as the limited restrictions therein on our ability to incur additional debt, and the potential increased borrowing costs to us from a credit-rating downgrade; our and our employees’ ability to execute on, and adapt to, information technology strategies and trends; cybersecurity threats or other threats to our information technology networks, including the potential misappropriation of assets or sensitive information, corruption of data or operational disruption; our ability to comply with laws and regulations related to our global operations, including real estate licensure, tax, labor and employment laws and regulations, fire and safety building requirements and regulations, as well as data privacy and protection regulations, sustainability matters, and the anti-corruption laws and trade sanctions of the U.S. and other countries; changes in applicable tax or accounting requirements; any inability for us to implement and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting; the effect of implementation of new accounting rules and standards or the impairment of our goodwill and intangible assets;

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, 2025, our quarterly reports 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 “core adjusted net income,” “core EBITDA,” “core EPS,” “business line operating profit (loss),” “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.

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)

Resilient Businesses include facilities management, critical infrastructure services, property management, project management, loan servicing, valuations, other portfolio services and recurring investment management fees. Transactional Businesses include property 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)

Pass-through costs represent certain costs incurred associated with subcontracted third-party vendor work performed for clients. These costs are reimbursable by clients and the corresponding amounts owed are reflected within Revenue.

(4)

Core adjusted net income and core earnings per diluted share (or core EPS) exclude the effect of select items from U.S. GAAP net income and U.S. GAAP earnings per diluted share. Adjustments during the periods presented included non-cash amortization expense related to intangible assets attributable to acquisitions, interest expense related to indirect tax audits and settlements, write-off of financing costs on extinguished debt, impact of adjustments on non-controlling interest, the tax impact of adjusted items and strategic non-core investments, net non-cash mortgage servicing rights, integration and other costs related to acquisitions, carried interest incentive compensation (reversal) expense to align with the timing of associated revenue, charges related to indirect tax audits and settlements, net results related to the wind-down of certain businesses, impact of fair value non-cash adjustments related to unconsolidated equity investments, business and finance transformation, costs associated with efficiency and cost-reduction initiatives, provision associated with Telford’s fire safety remediation efforts, and net fair value adjustments on strategic non-core investments.

(5)

Core EBITDA represents earnings before the portion attributable to non-controlling interests, depreciation and amortization, asset impairments, net interest expense, write-off of financing costs on extinguished debt, income taxes, further adjusted for net non-cash mortgage servicing rights, integration and other costs related to acquisitions, carried interest incentive compensation (reversal) expense to align with the timing of associated revenue, charges related to indirect tax audits and settlements, net results related to the wind-down of certain businesses, impact of fair value non-cash adjustments related to unconsolidated equity investments, business and finance transformation, costs associated with efficiency and cost-reduction initiatives, provision associated with Telford’s fire safety remediation efforts and net fair value adjustments on strategic non-core investments.

(6)

Free cash flow is calculated as cash flow provided by operations, plus gain on sale of real estate assets, less capital expenditures (reflected in the investing section of the consolidated statement of cash flows).

(7)

Segment operating profit (SOP) is the measure reported to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) for purposes of assessing performance and allocating resources to each segment. SOP represents earnings, inclusive of non-controlling interests, 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: net non-cash mortgage servicing rights, integration and other costs related to acquisitions, carried interest incentive compensation (reversal) expense to align with the timing of associated revenue, charges related to indirect tax audits and settlements, net results related to the wind-down of certain businesses, the impact of fair value non-cash adjustments related to unconsolidated equity investments, business and finance transformation, costs associated with efficiency and cost-reduction initiatives, and provision associated with Telford’s fire safety remediation efforts.

(8)

Represents line of business profitability/losses, as adjusted.

(9)

Net debt is calculated as total debt (excluding non-recourse debt) less cash and cash equivalents.

(10)

Includes cash available for company use, as well as availability under the company’s revolving credit facilities and commercial paper program.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following measures are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under SEC guidelines:

(i)

Core net income attributable to CBRE Group, Inc. stockholders, as adjusted (which we also refer to as “core adjusted net income”)

(ii)

Core EBITDA

(iii)

Core EPS

(iv)

Business line operating profit/loss

(v)

Net debt

(vi)

Free cash flow

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 core EBITDA, core EPS, core adjusted net income, and business line operating profit/loss, 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 acquisitions, which would include impairment charges of goodwill and intangibles created from acquisitions, the effects of financings, income taxes and the accounting effects of capital spending. The presentation of core adjusted net income, excluding amortization of intangible assets acquired in business combinations, is useful to investors as a supplemental measure to evaluate the company’s ongoing operating performance. While amortization expense of acquisition-related intangible assets is excluded from core adjusted net income, the revenue generated from the acquired intangible assets is not excluded. 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 and real estate investment and development activities 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 that are not directly related to our business segments. These can be volatile and are often non-cash in nature.

Core net income attributable to CBRE Group, Inc. stockholders, as adjusted (or core adjusted net income), and core EPS, are calculated as follows (in millions, except share and per share data):
