Net income rose to $342 million from $191 million, and basic earnings per share increased to $1.08 from $0.54, reflecting improved profitability, including a $301 million gain on disposition of real estate.

Insights
CBRE posts strong revenue and EPS growth, funded partly by active capital markets activity and portfolio gains.
CBRE delivered notable top-line expansion, with revenue rising from $8,875 million to $10,527 million. Net income attributable to the company nearly doubled to $318 million, helped by a $301 million gain on real estate sales and higher operating scale across segments.
Despite higher earnings, operating cash flow was negative $825 million, driven by mortgage loan origination and sale flows, working capital movements and compensation accruals. Short-term funding reliance increased, with commercial paper outstanding at $1,918 million and warehouse lines at $940 million, while long-term debt remained around $5.1 billion.
Strategic acquisitions continue to reshape the portfolio: Pearce and Industrious add large goodwill balances—$610 million and $592 million respectively—tied to infrastructure and flexible workspace strategies. Investors may focus on sustainability of earnings once real estate gains normalize and on the company’s ability to manage leverage and ongoing share repurchases of $531 million in the quarter.

Mortgage servicing rights financial
"we began reclassifying amortization associated with MSRs (mortgage servicing rights) to net against the related revenue"
Mortgage servicing rights are the contractual right to collect mortgage payments, manage escrow accounts, handle customer service and delinquency actions on a pool of home loans, in exchange for a portion of the loan’s payments. They matter to investors because their value behaves like a revenue stream that can rise or fall with interest rates and borrower behavior — similar to owning a toll bridge where income depends on traffic volume and maintenance costs — and thus affect a lender’s earnings and risk profile.
Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method financial
"The fair value of customer relationships was determined using the Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method (MPEEM), a form of the Income Approach."
Relief-from-Royalty Method financial
"The fair value of the tradenames was determined by using the Relief-from-Royalty Method, a form of the Income Approach"
Variable Interest Entity financial
"Business Combination (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity."
A variable interest entity (VIE) is a company structure where one party controls another company’s operations and economic outcomes through contracts or special arrangements instead of owning a majority of its voting shares. For investors, VIEs matter because the controlling party’s financial results, debts and risks can appear in the controller’s reports even though ownership looks separate, so understanding VIEs helps assess true exposure, governance limits and transparency—like spotting a puppet controlled by strings rather than direct ownership.
Net investment hedge financial
"These contracts are designated as net investment hedges at the date of contract inception"
Commercial paper program financial
"CBRE Services established a commercial paper program pursuant to which we may issue and sell up to $3.5 billion"
A commercial paper program is a formal way a company issues very short-term IOUs to raise quick cash, typically for days to months, without using a bank loan. Investors care because it shows how the company manages short-term funding and how trustworthy it appears—like watching whether someone keeps using and repaying a credit card; frequent use or higher costs can signal cash strain, while smooth issuance suggests healthy liquidity.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
Readers of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (Quarterly Report) should refer to the audited financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements of CBRE Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (which may be referred to in these financial statements as “CBRE,” “the company,” “we,” “us” and “our”), for the year ended December 31, 2025, which are included in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K (2025 Annual Report), filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and also available on our website (www.cbre.com), since we have omitted from this Quarterly Report certain footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in such audited financial statements. You should also refer to Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies, in the notes to consolidated financial statements in our 2025 Annual Report for further discussion of our significant accounting policies and estimates.
Financial Statement Preparation
During the first quarter of 2026, we began reclassifying amortization associated with MSRs (mortgage servicing rights) to net against the related revenue (Commercial mortgage origination). Historically, the corresponding MSR intangible assets were amortized through amortization expense over the estimated mortgage service period. This reclassification more closely aligns the amortization with the related revenue stream to reflect the net amount earned by the business. This treatment also more closely aligns with the practice most commonly used within the commercial real estate industry. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we recognized amortization related to MSRs of $38 million and $35 million, respectively. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2026 presentation.

2. New Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2025-05, “Credit Losses (Topic 326): Financial Instruments.” This ASU provides a practical expedient to assume current economic conditions will not change for the remaining life of an asset when preparing forecasts as part of estimating expected credit losses. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted and should be applied on a prospective basis if the practical expedient is elected. We adopted ASU 2025-05 in the first quarter of 2026. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” This ASU requires public business entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 with early adoption permitted. These requirements should be applied on a prospective basis with an option to apply them retrospectively. We anticipate ASU 2024-03 will result in expanded disclosures related to our income statement expenses.
In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, “Business Combination (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity.” This ASU requires public business entities to assess which entity is the accounting acquirer for a business combination that is effected primarily by exchanging equity interest in which a Variable Interest Entity (VIE) is acquired. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. These requirements should be applied on a prospective basis to any transaction that occurs after the initial application date. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2025-03 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Internal-use Software.” This ASU removes all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages (referred to as “project stages”) throughout Subtopic 350-40 and requires the capitalization of software costs to begin when 1) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and 2) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. These requirements should be applied using a prospective, modified transition, or retrospective approach. We are evaluating the impact that ASU 2025-06 will have on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract.” This ASU excludes from derivative accounting non-exchange-traded contracts with underlyings based on operations or activities specific to one of the parties to the contract. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. These requirements may be applied prospectively or on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2025-07 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans.” This ASU introduces the concept of “purchased seasoned loans” through new seasoning guidance and expands the use of the gross-up approach for non-Purchased Credit Deteriorated loans. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The amendments must be applied prospectively to loans that are acquired on or after the date of initial application. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2025-08 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements.” This ASU clarifies and increases flexibility in hedge accounting and further aligns hedge accounting with the economics of an entity’s risk management activities through clarification of five primary issues. This guidance is effective for

fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted and should be applied on a prospective basis. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2025-09 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, “Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities.” This ASU provides authoritative guidance for the recognition, measurement, and presentation of government grants, aiming to reduce diversity in practice and improve consistency. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2028, with early adoption permitted. These requirements may be applied using a modified prospective, modified retrospective, or retrospective approach. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2025-10 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
3. Acquisitions
Pearce
On November 4, 2025, we acquired 100 % ownership interest in Pearce Services, LLC (Pearce), a leading provider of advanced technical services for digital and power infrastructure. Pearce forms part of our Building Operations & Experience (BOE) segment.
The Pearce acquisition was treated as a business combination under FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 805, “Business Combinations,” and was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. We financed the acquisition with (i) cash on hand and (ii) borrowings under our existing commercial paper program, which were partially repaid with the net proceeds from the issuance of $750 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.900 % senior notes in November 2025. See Note 10 – Long-Term Debt and Short-Term Borrowings for more information on the above-mentioned debt instruments.
The following summarizes the consideration transferred at closing for the Pearce acquisition (dollars in millions):
| Cash consideration | $ | ||||
| Settlement of long-term debt | |||||
| Deferred and contingent consideration | |||||
Other | |||||
| Total consideration | $ | ||||
The purchase price includes a deferred consideration payment of $115 million, due on November 3, 2026. The transaction also includes contingent consideration related to a potential earnout payment of up to $115 million, which is subject to the achievement of certain performance thresholds through the calendar year 2027. In addition, certain Pearce performance-based stock compensation awards and certain transaction bonuses payable to certain executives participate in the deferred and contingent consideration payouts, provided the holders of such awards or bonuses remain employed with the Company, up to the relevant payment date. The amounts of both the performance-based stock compensation awards and transaction bonuses vary based on a sliding scale according to the same thresholds as the contingent consideration. The fair values of the non-compensatory portion of the deferred consideration and contingent consideration were $101 million and $31 million, respectively, as of the acquisition date.
The following represents the summary of the excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired (dollars in millions):
| Purchase price | $ | ||||
Less: Estimated fair value of net assets acquired | |||||
| Excess purchase price over estimated fair value of net assets acquired | $ | ||||
The purchase accounting adjustments related to the Pearce acquisition have been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired has been recorded to goodwill. The goodwill arising from the Pearce acquisition consists largely of the synergies and opportunities related to the digital and power infrastructure space. Of the goodwill generated, approximately $106 million is deductible for tax purposes.
The acquired assets and assumed liabilities of Pearce were recorded at their estimated fair values. The purchase price allocation for the business combination is primarily for intangible assets acquired, and subject to change within the respective

The fair value of customer relationships was determined using the Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method (MPEEM), a form of the Income Approach. The MPEEM is a specific application of the Discounted Cash Flow Method. The principle behind the MPEEM is that the value of an intangible asset is equal to the present value of the incremental cash flows attributable only to the subject intangible asset. This estimation used certain unobservable key inputs such as timing of projected cash flows, growth rates, expected contract renewal probabilities, discount rates, and the asset's useful life.
The fair value of the tradenames was determined by using the Relief-from-Royalty Method, a form of the Income Approach, and relied on key unobservable inputs such as timing of the projected cash flows, growth rates, and royalty rates. The basic tenet of the Relief-from-Royalty Method is that without ownership of the subject intangible asset, the user of that intangible asset would have to make a stream of payments to the owner of the asset in return for the rights to use that asset. By acquiring the intangible asset, the user avoids these payments.
Supplemental pro forma information reflecting the impact of the Pearce acquisition is not provided as the acquisition did not have a material effect on the company’s results of operations.
Industrious
On January 16, 2025, we acquired the remaining 60 % ownership interest that we did not already own in Industrious National Management Company, LLC (Industrious), a leading provider of flexible workplace solutions, increasing our ownership to 100 %. Industrious forms part of our BOE segment.
The Industrious acquisition was treated as a business combination under FASB ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations,” and was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. We financed the acquisition with (i) borrowings under our existing commercial paper program and (ii) cash on hand.

The purchase accounting adjustments related to the Industrious acquisition have been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired has been recorded to goodwill. The goodwill arising from the Industrious acquisition consists largely of the synergies and opportunities related to the flexible workplace solutions space. Of the goodwill generated, approximately $440 million is deductible for tax purposes.
The acquired assets and assumed liabilities of Industrious were recorded at their estimated fair values. The purchase price allocation for the business combination is primarily for intangible assets acquired, and subject to change within the respective measurement period which did not extend beyond one year from the acquisition date. Measurement period adjustments were recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts were determined.

Turner & Townsend
In early January 2025, we completed the combination of our project management business with our Turner & Townsend subsidiary, whereby we contributed CBRE’s project management businesses in exchange for an additional 10 % ownership interest in the combined project management business (the Combined Project Management Business). Upon completion of the transaction, CBRE holds a 70 % controlling interest in the Combined Project Management Business. The transaction was accounted for as a transfer under common control.
As part of the combination agreement, CBRE granted to the Turner & Townsend partners an option to require CBRE to purchase additional shares in the Combined Project Management Business, which is exercisable during the period between January 1, 2027 and March 31, 2030 (the Put Option). The price payable to the Turner & Townsend partners will be the fair value of the shares at the date the Put Option is exercised. As exercise of the Put Option is not solely in the control of the company, the interest in the Combined Project Management Business related to the Put Option has been classified as Mezzanine Equity on our balance sheet per ASC 480-10-S99, “Distinguishing liabilities from Equity – SEC Materials.” The shares in the Combined Project Management Business subject to the Put Option were valued at $447 million and $433 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and were estimated based on discounted forecasted cash flows for the business. We have elected to recognize changes in the redemption value as they occur by adjusting the amount of the redeemable shares to their redemption value at the end of each period.
4. Warehouse Receivables & Warehouse Lines of Credit
Our wholly-owned subsidiary CBRE Capital Markets, Inc. (CBRE Capital Markets) is a Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) approved Multifamily Program Plus Seller/Servicer and an approved Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) Aggregation and Negotiated Transaction Seller/Servicer. In addition, CBRE Capital Markets’ wholly-owned subsidiary CBRE Multifamily Capital, Inc. (CBRE MCI) is an approved Fannie Mae Delegated Underwriting and Servicing (DUS) Seller/Servicer and CBRE Capital Markets’ wholly-owned subsidiary CBRE HMF, Inc. (CBRE HMF) is a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) approved Non-Supervised Federal Housing Authority (FHA) Title II Mortgagee, an approved Multifamily Accelerated Processing (MAP) lender and an approved Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae) issuer of mortgage-backed securities (MBS). Under these arrangements, before loans are originated through proceeds from warehouse lines of credit, we obtain either a contractual loan purchase commitment from either Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae or a confirmed forward trade commitment for the issuance and purchase of a Fannie Mae or Ginnie Mae MBS that will be secured by the loans. The warehouse lines of credit are generally repaid within a one-month period when Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae buys the loans or upon settlement of the Fannie Mae or Ginnie Mae MBS, while we retain the servicing rights. Loans are funded at the prevailing market rates. We elected the fair value option for all warehouse receivables. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, all of the warehouse receivables included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets were either under commitment to be purchased by Freddie Mac or had confirmed forward trade commitments for the issuance and purchase of Fannie Mae or Ginnie Mae MBS that will be secured by the underlying loans.

6. Goodwill
We test each of our reporting units for goodwill impairment annually at October 1st, or upon a triggering event, in accordance with ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other.” As of January 1, 2026, we transferred the data center project work that is integrated with our Data Center Services facilities management business from the Project Management segment to the BOE segment. This changed the composition of our reporting units which resulted in the reallocation of goodwill from the Project Management segment to the BOE segment as of January 1, 2026. Additionally, the change in composition of our reporting units was considered a triggering event requiring an interim goodwill impairment test as of January 1, 2026. We determined that no impairment existed as the estimated fair values of our reporting units were in excess of their respective carrying values, both before and after the transfer.

7. Fair Value Measurements
FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” (Topic 820) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Topic 820 also establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
•Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
•Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.
There have been no significant changes to the valuation techniques and inputs used to develop the recurring fair value measurements from those disclosed in our 2025 Annual Report.

Fair value measurements for our available for sale debt securities are obtained from independent pricing services which utilize observable market data that may include quoted market prices, dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. treasury yield curve, trading levels, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the instrument’s terms and conditions.
The equity securities are generally valued at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation or, if no sales occurred on the valuation date, at the mean of the bid and ask prices on such date. The above tables do not include $129 million and $130 million related to capital investments as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 respectively in certain non-public entities as they are non-marketable equity investments accounted for under the measurement alternative, which are measured at cost, with fair value adjustments for observable market transactions, minus impairment. These investments are included in “Other assets” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The fair values of the warehouse receivables are primarily calculated based on locked-in purchase prices. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, all of the warehouse receivables included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets were either under commitment to be purchased by Freddie Mac or had confirmed forward trade commitments for the issuance and purchase of Fannie Mae or Ginnie Mae mortgage backed securities that will be secured by the underlying loans (see Note 4 – Warehouse Receivables & Warehouse Lines of Credit). These assets are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as a substantial majority of inputs are readily observable.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries at fair value using NAV were $395 million and $402 million, respectively, and investments at fair value using NAV which are not accounted for under the equity method were $22 million and $23 million, respectively. These investments fall under the practical expedient rules that do not require them to be included in the fair value hierarchy and as a result have been excluded from the tables above.

(1)As of March 31, 2026, a Monte Carlo model was used to estimate the fair value of Contingent Consideration related to the Pearce acquisition. The unobservable inputs used for volatility and the discount rate were 18.6 % and 4.8 %, respectively.

FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Our financial instruments are as follows:
•Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash – These balances include cash and cash equivalents as well as restricted cash with maturities of less than three months. The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
•Receivables, less Allowance for Doubtful Accounts – Due to their short-term nature, fair value approximates carrying value.
•Warehouse Receivables – These balances are carried at fair value. The primary source of value is either a contractual purchase commitment from Freddie Mac or a confirmed forward trade commitment for the issuance and purchase of a Fannie Mae or Ginnie Mae MBS (see Note 4 – Warehouse Receivables & Warehouse Lines of Credit).
•Investments in Unconsolidated Subsidiaries – A portion of these investments are carried at fair value as discussed above. It includes our equity investment and related interests in both public and non-public entities. Our previous ownership of common shares in Altus Power, Inc. (Altus) was considered Level 1 and was measured at fair value using a quoted price in an active market. On April 16, 2025, Altus was acquired by a third-party and as a result we no longer hold any shares in Altus (see Note 9 – Investments in Unconsolidated Subsidiaries). Certain non-controlling equity investments are considered Level 3.
•Available for Sale Debt Securities – Primarily held by our wholly-owned captive insurance company, these investments are carried at their fair value.
•Equity Securities – Primarily held by our wholly-owned captive insurance company, these investments are carried at their fair value.

•Derivative assets and liabilities – The fair value of cross-currency swaps reflects the net present value of expected payments and receipts under the swap agreement based on the market’s expectation of future spot foreign currency exchange rates. Additional inputs to the net present value calculation may include the contract terms, counterparty credit risk and discount rates. These financial instruments are designated as Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy (see Note 8 – Derivatives and Hedging Activities).
•Contingent Consideration – The fair values of contingent consideration related to business acquisitions are estimated using Monte Carlo simulations or the probability-weighted present value of estimated future payments resulting from the achievement levels of financial targets.
•Short-Term Borrowings – The majority of this balance represents outstanding amounts under our warehouse lines of credit of our wholly-owned subsidiary, CBRE Capital Markets, our commercial paper program, and our revolving credit facilities. Due to the short-term nature and/or variable interest rates of these instruments, fair value approximates carrying value (see Note 4 – Warehouse Receivables & Warehouse Lines of Credit and Note 10 – Long-Term Debt and Short-Term Borrowings).

8. Derivatives and Hedging Activities
We use fixed to fixed and float to float cross-currency swaps to hedge our exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates on certain foreign investments as well as foreign currency denominated loans. These swaps are designated as either net investment or fair value hedges. Derivative financial instruments that are not designated as hedges were immaterial as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
We are exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance of counterparties, and we manage our exposure to credit risk by selecting major global banks and financial institutions as counterparties and monitor their credit ratings on an ongoing basis. We do not enter into derivative transactions for trading or speculative purposes. Certain of these contracts are subject to credit support annexes (CSAs) which establish thresholds for posting collateral at certain future dates. There are currently no requirements for the company to post collateral.
None of our derivative transactions are subject to master netting arrangements that allow net settlement of contracts with the same counterparties.

Fair value hedges
On July 10, 2023 and March 14, 2025, we entered into cross-currency swaps, designated as fair value hedges, to manage foreign currency exposure from the Tranche A (USD) Term Loans and Incremental USD Term Loans entered into by Relam Amsterdam Holdings B.V., a Euro functional currency subsidiary (see Note 10 – Long-Term Debt and Short-Term Borrowings). As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the total principal outstanding balance of the loans was $441 million, $24 million of which was current, and $447 million, $24 million of which was current, respectively. The swaps have an aggregate notional value of $441 million and $447 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and will mature on July 10, 2028.
We also utilize additional cross-currency swaps designated as fair value hedges to manage foreign currency exposure related to intercompany loans. The total notional amount of this portfolio as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $20 million and $26 million, respectively.
The cross-currency swaps designated in these fair value hedging relationships are accounted for using the spot method, with changes in the fair value of the contract attributable to the changes in spot rates recorded within operating, administrative, and other in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company has elected to exclude the changes in the fair value attributable to the difference between the spot price and the forward price, as well as any cross-currency basis spread (the “Excluded Fair Value Hedge Components”) from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. The value of the Excluded Fair Value Hedge Components was not significant to the consolidated financial statements in the current fiscal period or prior fiscal period. The changes in fair value attributable to the Excluded Fair Value Hedge Components are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL) and are recognized in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations on a systematic and rational basis through the swap accrual over the life of the hedging instrument.
The gains and losses on outstanding fair value hedges resulting from the change in foreign currency rates for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 were gains of $6 million and losses of $10 million recorded in operating, administrative, and other on the consolidated statements of operations, respectively. These were offset by foreign currency transaction gains on the hedged loans resulting in no 1

Net investment hedges
The Company has entered into cross-currency swap contracts to manage our foreign currency exposures to net investments of subsidiaries with local functional currencies that differ from their parent subsidiaries. These contracts are designated as net investment hedges at the date of contract inception, in accordance with the appropriate accounting guidance. These contracts are accounted for using the spot method with changes in the fair value of the contracts attributable to changes in spot rates recorded within foreign currency translation (loss) gain as a component of AOCL, where it will remain until the hedged net investments are sold or substantially liquidated. The Company has elected to exclude the changes in the fair value attributable to time value and spot-forward rate differences (the “Excluded Net Investment Hedge Components”) from the assessment of the hedge effectiveness. The changes in fair value attributable to the Excluded Net Investment Hedge Components on Cross Currency Swap Contracts are recognized into Interest expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations on a systematic and rational basis through the swap accrual over the life of the hedging instrument. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the total notional amount of these swaps was $4.8 billion and $3.9 billion, respectively. The swaps will mature between 2026 and 2045.
The following table summarizes the gains and losses recognized within AOCL related to the cross currency swap contracts designated as net investment hedges for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (dollars in millions):

We maintain credit facilities with third-party lenders, which we use for a variety of purposes. On July 10, 2023, CBRE Group, Inc. (CBRE Group), CBRE Services, Inc. (CBRE Services) and Relam Amsterdam Holdings B.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of CBRE Services (Relam Borrower), entered into a 5-year senior unsecured Credit Agreement (2023 Credit Agreement) maturing on July 10, 2028, which refinanced and replaced a prior credit agreement. The 2023 Credit Agreement provides for a senior unsecured term loan credit facility comprised of (i) tranche A Euro-denominated term loans in an aggregate principal amount of €367 million (Tranche A (Euro) Loans) and (ii) tranche A U.S. Dollar-denominated term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $350 million (Tranche A (USD) Loans), both requiring quarterly principal payments beginning on December 31, 2024 and continuing through maturity on July 10, 2028. The proceeds of the term loans under the 2023 Credit Agreement were applied to the repayment of all remaining outstanding senior term loans under the prior 2022 Credit Agreement, the payment of related fees and expenses and other general corporate purposes.
On March 13, 2025, CBRE Group, CBRE Services and Relam Borrower entered into Amendment No. 1 to the 2023 Credit Agreement, which provided for, among other things, the ability of Relam Borrower to obtain incremental commitments and loans under the 2023 Credit Agreement in an aggregate principal amount of $750 million (or the Euro equivalent). On March 14, 2025, CBRE Group, CBRE Services and Relam Borrower entered into Amendment No. 2 and Incremental Assumption Agreement to the 2023 Credit Agreement, pursuant to which Relam Borrower incurred incremental term loans (i) denominated in Euros in the aggregate principal amount of €425 million (Incremental Euro Term Loans) and (ii) denominated in U.S. Dollars in the aggregate principal amount of $125 million (Incremental USD Term Loans). The Incremental Euro Term Loans have the same terms applicable to, and constitute the same class as, the Tranche A (Euro) Loans, and the Incremental USD Term Loans have the same terms applicable to, and constitute the same class as, the Tranche A (USD) Loans under the 2023 Credit Agreement. The proceeds of the Incremental Euro Term Loans and the Incremental USD Term Loans were used for working capital and other general corporate purposes (including the partial repayment of borrowings under the commercial paper program), and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with entering into the amendments to the 2023 Credit Agreement. On June 24, 2025, CBRE Group, CBRE Services and Relam Borrower entered into Amendment No. 3 to the 2023 Credit Agreement, for the purpose of, among other things, amending the financial covenants to remove the interest coverage ratio covenant and to increase certain baskets and thresholds in the 2023 Credit Agreement in a manner consistent with the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreements described below.
We entered into a cross-currency swap to hedge the associated foreign currency exposure related to the Tranche A (USD) Loans and the Incremental USD Term Loans. See Note 8 – Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

On June 24, 2025, we entered into a 5-year senior unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement (the 5-Year Revolving Credit Agreement) which replaced our prior revolving credit agreement dated August 5, 2022.

12. Commitments and Contingencies
We are a party to a number of pending or threatened lawsuits arising out of, or incident to, our ordinary course of business. We believe that any losses in excess of the amounts accrued as liabilities on our consolidated financial statements are unlikely to be significant, but litigation is inherently uncertain and there is the potential for a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements if one or more matters are resolved in a particular period in an amount materially in excess of what we anticipated.
In January 2008, CBRE MCI, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CBRE Capital Markets, entered into an agreement with Fannie Mae under Fannie Mae’s Delegated Underwriting and Servicing Lender Program (DUS Program) to provide financing for multifamily housing with five or more units. Under the DUS Program, CBRE MCI originates, underwrites, closes and services loans without prior approval by Fannie Mae, and typically, is subject to sharing up to one-third of any losses on loans originated under the DUS Program. CBRE MCI has funded loans with unpaid principal balances of $50.5 billion at March 31, 2026, of which $47.8 billion is subject to such loss sharing arrangements. CBRE MCI, under its agreement with Fannie Mae, must post cash reserves or other acceptable collateral under formulas established by Fannie Mae to provide for sufficient capital in the event losses occur. As of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, CBRE MCI had $165 81 million and $79 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, for its loan loss guarantee obligation under such arrangement. Fannie Mae’s recourse under the DUS Program is limited to the assets of CBRE MCI, which assets totaled approximately $941 million (including $358 million of warehouse receivables, which are pledged against warehouse lines of credit and are therefore not available to Fannie Mae) at March 31, 2026.
CBRE Capital Markets participates in Freddie Mac’s Multifamily Small Balance Loan (SBL) Program. Under the SBL Program, CBRE Capital Markets has certain repurchase and loss reimbursement obligations. We could potentially be obligated to repurchase any SBL loan originated by CBRE Capital Markets that remains in default for 120 days following the forbearance period, if the default occurred during the first 12 months after origination and such loan had not been earlier securitized. In addition, CBRE Capital Markets may be responsible for a loss not to exceed 10 % of the original principal amount of any SBL loan that is not securitized and goes into default after the 12-month repurchase period. CBRE Capital Markets must post a cash reserve or other acceptable collateral to provide for sufficient capital in the event the obligations are triggered. As of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, CBRE Capital Markets had posted a $5
Letters of credit
We had outstanding letters of credit totaling $321 million as of March 31, 2026, excluding letters of credit for which we have outstanding liabilities already accrued on our consolidated balance sheets related to our subsidiaries’ outstanding reserves for claims under certain insurance programs as well as letters of credit related to operating leases. The CBRE Capital Markets letters of credit totaling $170 million as of March 31, 2026 referred to in the preceding paragraphs are included in the $321 million outstanding letters of credit as of such date. The remaining letters of credit are primarily executed by us in the ordinary course of business and expire at the end of each of the respective agreements.
Guarantees
We had guarantees totaling $289 million as of March 31, 2026, excluding guarantees related to pension liabilities, operating leases, consolidated indebtedness and other obligations for which we have outstanding liabilities already accrued on our consolidated balance sheets. The $289 million primarily represents guarantees executed by us in the ordinary course of business, including various guarantees of management and vendor contracts in our operations overseas, which expire at the end of each of the respective agreements.
In addition, as of March 31, 2026, we had issued numerous non-recourse carveout, completion and budget guarantees relating to development projects for the benefit of third parties. These guarantees are commonplace in our industry and are made by us in the ordinary course of our REI business. Non-recourse carveout guarantees generally require that our project-entity borrower not commit specified improper acts, with us potentially liable for all or a portion of such entity’s indebtedness or other damages suffered by the lender if those acts occur. Completion and budget guarantees generally require us to complete construction of the relevant project within a specified timeframe and/or within a specified budget, with us potentially being liable for costs to complete in excess of such timeframe or budget. While there can be no assurance, we do not expect to incur any material losses under these guarantees.

Performance and payment bonds
In the ordinary course of business, we are required by certain customers to provide performance and payment bonds for contractual commitments related to our projects. These bonds provide a guarantee to the customer that the company will perform under the terms of a contract and that we will pay our subcontractors and vendors. If we fail to perform under a contract or to pay our subcontractors and vendors, the customer may demand that the surety make payments or provide services under the bond. We must reimburse the surety for expenses or outlays it incurs. As of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, outstanding performance and payment bonds were $1.0
Deferred and contingent consideration
The purchase price for our business acquisitions often includes deferred and contingent consideration. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had short-term deferred and contingent consideration of $151 million and $149 million, respectively, which was included within accounts payable and accrued expenses, and long-term deferred and contingent consideration of $127 million and $130 million, respectively, which was included within other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

An important part of the strategy for our REI segment involves co-investing our capital in certain real estate investments with our clients. For our investment funds, we generally co-invest a minority interest of the equity in a particular fund. As of March 31, 2026, we had aggregate future commitments of $214 million related to co-investment funds. Additionally, we make selective investments in real estate development projects on our consolidated account or co-invest with our clients with up to 50 % of the project’s equity as a principal in unconsolidated real estate projects. We had unfunded capital commitments of $159 million and $66 million to consolidated and unconsolidated projects, respectively, as of March 31, 2026.
Also refer to Note 17 – Telford Fire Safety Remediation for the details relating to the provision associated with fire safety remediation efforts by our subsidiary, Telford Homes.
13. Income Taxes
Our provision for income taxes on a consolidated basis was $112 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to a provision for income taxes of $52 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase of $60 million is primarily related to an increase in earnings. Our effective tax rate increased to 24.7 % for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from 21.4 % for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Our effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was different than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to the U.S. state taxes and permanent book tax differences.
On July 4, 2025, the U.S. federal government enacted H.R.1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), a budget reconciliation package that changes the U.S. federal income tax laws, including extensions of various expiring provisions from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The 2026 impacts of the OBBBA are insignificant based on our current operations.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the company had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $379 million and $364 million, respectively.

Contract Assets and Liabilities
We had contract assets totaling $576 million ($475 million of which was current) and $565 million ($462 million of which was current) as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
We had contract liabilities totaling $471 million (all of which was current) and $448 million (all of which was current) as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recognized revenue of $171 million, that was included in the contract liability balance at December 31, 2025.
16. Segments
We organize our operations around and publicly report our financial results on four
On January 1, 2026, we transferred the data center project work that is integrated with our Data Center Services facilities management business from the Project Management segment to the BOE segment. We have recast prior period segment results to conform with the current presentation.
Segment operating profit (SOP) is the measure reported to Robert Sulentic, CBRE’s Chair and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), who is our chief operating decision maker (CODM) for purposes of assessing performance and allocating resources to each segment. The CODM uses SOP results compared to prior periods and previously forecasted amounts to assess performance and identify trends of ongoing operations within each segment. SOP excludes the impact of certain costs and charges that may obscure the underlying performance of our businesses and related trends, including restructuring charges and other costs incurred, which are outside the ordinary course of business. SOP represents earnings, inclusive of amounts attributable to non-controlling interests, before net interest expense, write-off of financing costs on extinguished debt, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and asset impairments. In addition, management excludes the following costs from SOP (Other segment adjustments):
•net non-cash mortgage servicing rights
•integration and other costs related to acquisitions,
•carried interest incentive compensation expense (reversal) 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 adjustments related to unconsolidated equity investments,
•business and finance transformation,
•non-cash pension buy-out settlement loss,
•costs associated with efficiency and cost-reduction initiatives,
•costs incurred related to legal entity restructuring,
•provision associated with Telford’s fire safety remediation efforts, and
•a one-time gain associated with remeasuring an investment in an unconsolidated subsidiary to fair value as of the date the remaining controlling interest was acquired.
There have been no significant changes to the measurement methods of expenses or methods of allocating expenses to segments during 2026.

17. Telford Fire Safety Remediation
The accompanying consolidated balance sheets include an estimated liability of approximately $303 million (of which $111 million was current) and $321 million (of which $126 million was current) as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, related to fire safety remediation efforts for buildings historically developed by our subsidiary, Telford Homes. The decrease in the recorded liability compared to year end 2025 primarily reflects amount spent during the period and foreign currency translation effects.
The estimated cost of remediation is based on the best information available at the reporting date and reflects the subjective, complex, and variable nature of these remediation activities. Significant assumptions include building specific remediation requirements, expected timing of completion, construction and remediation costs, availability of materials and qualified fire safety professionals, potential discoveries during remediation, and changes in regulatory requirements and approvals.
We continue to actively monitor regulatory developments and remediation progress and will update our estimates as additional information becomes available.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) provides the reader with management’s perspective on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and certain other factors that may affect future results. The MD&A in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (Quarterly Report) for CBRE Group, Inc. for the three months ended March 31, 2026 should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K (2025 Annual Report) as well as the unaudited financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
In addition, the statements and assumptions in this Quarterly Report that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 or Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, each as amended, including, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies and prospects as well as estimates of industry growth for the next quarter and beyond. For important information regarding these forward-looking statements, please see the discussion below under the caption “Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements.”
During the first quarter of 2026, we began reclassifying amortization associated with MSRs (mortgage servicing rights) to net against the related revenue (Commercial mortgage origination). Historically, the corresponding MSR intangible assets were amortized through amortization expense over the estimated mortgage service period. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2026 presentation.
Business Environment
The strong recovery of the commercial real estate market that began in 2025 continued in early 2026. This is evident in the continuation of markedly increased property leasing and sales activity during the first quarter. Occupier demand remained notably strong in the U.S. particularly for industrial, office and data center space in the U.S. During the quarter, investment sales and financing activity improved sharply in most global markets, buoyed by broad capital availability, improved occupancy market fundamentals and tighter bid-ask spreads. Large occupiers’ growing appetite for outsourcing services continued to underpin demand for facilities management and project management activities, while the outsized growth of Artificial Intelligence investments and data center buildouts fuels strong demand for critical infrastructure services. To date, the ongoing Middle East conflict has had limited impact on CBRE’s business except for a notable slowdown in fundraising from capital sources based in the region.
Capital Allocation
We deployed $538 million in 2026 to repurchase 3,639,682 shares as of April 21, 2026.

Table of contents
Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
We reported consolidated net income of $318 million for the quarter, on revenue of $10.5 billion as compared to consolidated net income of $163 million on revenue of $8.9 billion in the prior year.
Revenue increased 18.6% reflecting double-digit growth across the Advisory Services, Building Operations & Experience (BOE) and Project Management segments, partially offset by a decrease in revenue in the Real Estate Investments (REI) segment.
Foreign currency translation had a 4.0% positive impact on revenue, reflecting strength in the euro and British pound sterling partially offset by weakness in the Indian rupee.
Pass-through costs increased 17.1% during the quarter as compared to the same period in prior year primarily due to revenue growth in the BOE and Project Management segments. Foreign currency translation had a 4.1% negative impact on pass-through costs.
Cost of revenue, excluding pass-through costs increased 21.9% during the quarter as compared to the same period in prior year primarily reflecting business growth and higher commission expenses and employee compensation, as well as higher indirect reimbursed costs. Foreign currency translation had a 4.0% negative impact on total cost of revenue, excluding pass-through costs. Cost of revenue, excluding pass-through costs increased to 40.2% of total revenue from 39.1% driven by higher costs to support growth in revenues.
Operating, administrative and other expenses increased 22.5% during the quarter as compared to the same period in prior year. The increase was primarily due to higher employee compensation and business promotion and advertising expense, driven by business growth. Foreign currency translation had a 4.0% negative impact on total operating expenses during the quarter. Operating, administrative and other expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 13.9% in the first quarter 2026 from 13.4% in the first quarter 2025, as operating expenses grew higher than revenue.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by 28.2% during the quarter, as compared to the same period in prior year, reflecting higher amortization expense related to intangible assets from recent acquisitions, such as Pearce.
Gain on disposition of real estate increased by $301 million during the quarter, driven by monetization of real estate development assets in the REI segment.
We recorded equity loss from unconsolidated subsidiaries of approximately $9 million, compared to equity income of $16 million in the first quarter 2025. In the first quarter 2025, we recorded equity income of $21 million, reflecting the higher value of our investment in Altus, which was sold in the second quarter 2025.
Interest expense, net of interest income, increased by 18.0%, compared with the first quarter 2025. This increase was primarily attributable to increased commercial paper borrowings, offset by the impact of net investment hedging activity.
Our provision for income taxes on a consolidated basis was $112 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to a provision for income taxes of $52 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase of $60 million is primarily related to an increase in earnings. Our effective tax rate increased to 24.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from 21.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 is different than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to the U.S. state taxes and permanent book tax differences.
Legislative Developments
The Organization for Economic Co-operation & Development (OECD) Pillar Two Model Rules established a minimum global effective tax rate of 15% on country-by-country profits of large multinational companies. European Union member states along with many other countries adopted or expect to adopt the OECD Pillar Two Model effective January 1, 2024 or thereafter. In January 2026, the OECD issued a comprehensive Side by Side Package, which introduces additional administrative guidance intended to enhance coordination and simplify aspects of the global minimum tax framework. The package includes several new safe harbors including the new Side by Side and Ultimate Parent Entity safe harbors that may deem certain top-up taxes to be zero in jurisdictions with qualifying minimum tax regimes, such as the United States. We will

Table of contents
continue to monitor additional administrative guidance and legislative action to incorporate the guidance into local law to assess the global impact of the Pillar Two Model Rules. The impact of Pillar Two top-up taxes is expected to be insignificant for 2026.
On July 4, 2025, the U.S. federal government enacted, H.R.1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), a budget reconciliation package that changes the U.S. federal income tax laws, including extensions of various expiring provisions from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The 2026 impacts of the OBBBA are insignificant based on our current operations.
Segment Operations
We organize our operations around, and publicly report our financial results for, four reportable business segments: (1) Advisory Services; (2) BOE; (3) Project Management; and (4) REI.
Advisory Services provides a comprehensive range of services globally, including leasing, capital markets (property sales and loan origination), loan servicing, and valuation. BOE provides a broad suite of integrated, contractually based outsourcing services to occupiers and owners of real estate, including facilities management, property management and critical infrastructure. Our Project Management business delivers program management and cost consultancy services across commercial real estate, infrastructure and natural resources sectors. REI is a major real assets developer, investor and operator and is comprised of two businesses: investment management and development services.
We also have a Corporate and Other segment. Corporate primarily consists of corporate overhead costs, and costs associated with our platform that are not allocated to segments, including corporate leadership costs. Other consists of activities from strategic non-core, non-controlling equity investments and is considered an operating segment but does not meet the aggregation criteria for presentation as a separate reportable segment and is, therefore, combined with Corporate and reported within Corporate and Other. It also includes eliminations related to inter-segment revenue. For additional information on our segments, see Note 16 – Segments of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) set forth in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
Revenue increased 22.0% during the quarter compared to the same period in 2025. Property sales revenue grew 42.5%, led by industrial, retail, multifamily, office, and data centers in the U.S. and Asia Pacific. Globally, sales grew double-digits across industrial, office, and multifamily. Global leasing revenue rose 20.1%, led by data centers, industrial and office leasing driven by growth in the Americas which grew 20.5%, including 20.7% in the United States, and growth in Asia Pacific which grew 24.4%.
Foreign currency translation had a 2.8% positive impact on total revenue during the quarter, primarily driven by strength in the euro and British pound sterling partially offset by weakness in the Indian rupee and Japanese yen.
Cost of revenue, excluding pass-through costs increased 23.7%, primarily reflecting business growth and higher commission expense, salaries and bonus. Foreign currency translation had a 3.0% negative impact on total cost of revenue, excluding pass-through costs.

Table of contents
Operating, administrative and other expenses increased by 9.6%, as compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to higher employee compensation and business promotion and advertising expenses driven by the growth in the business. Foreign currency translation had a 4.2% negative impact on total operating expenses.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, gross income from mortgage servicing rights (MSR) was $26 million, offset by $38 million of amortization of related intangible assets, resulting in a net reduction to Commercial Mortgage Origination revenue of $12 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the comparable amounts were $22 million and $35 million, respectively, resulting in a net reduction of $13 million. The change was associated with higher origination activity given an increase in financing activities.
In connection with the origination and sale of mortgage loans with servicing rights retained, we record servicing assets or liabilities based on the fair value of mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) on the date the loans are sold. Upon origination of a mortgage loan held for sale, the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights to be retained is included in the forecasted proceeds from the anticipated loan sale and results in a net gain (which is reflected in revenue). Our MSRs are initially recorded at fair value. Subsequent to the initial recording, MSRs are amortized in proportion to and over the period that the servicing income is expected to be received based on projections and timing of estimated future net cash flows and assessed for impairment based on the fair value each reporting period. During the first quarter of 2026, we began reclassifying amortization associated with MSRs (mortgage servicing rights) to net against the related revenue (Commercial mortgage origination). Historically, the corresponding MSR intangible assets were amortized through amortization expense over the estimated mortgage service period. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2026 presentation.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
Revenue decreased 14.6% for the current quarter primarily due to lower management and development fees from development services. Foreign currency translation had a 4.7% positive impact on total revenue during the quarter primarily driven by strength in the British pound sterling and euro.
Cost of revenue decreased 44.7% in the quarter as compared to the same period in 2025 due to lower construction management costs incurred on our real estate development projects. Foreign currency translation had a 4.2% negative impact on total cost of revenue during the quarter.
Operating, administrative and other expenses increased 72.9% primarily due to an increase in total compensation in our development services lines of business resulting from an increase in development sales during the quarter. Foreign currency translation had a 4.8% negative impact on total operating expenses.
Gain on disposition of real estate increased by $281 million compared with first quarter 2025, driven by monetization of real estate development assets in the current period versus none in the prior year quarter.

Table of contents
AUM generally refers to the properties and other assets with respect to which we provide (or participate in) oversight, investment management services and other advice, and which generally consist of real estate properties or loans, securities portfolios and investments in operating companies and joint ventures. Our AUM is intended principally to reflect the extent of our presence in the real estate market, not to be the basis for determining our management fees. Our assets under management consist of:
•the total fair market value of the real estate properties and other assets either wholly-owned or held by joint ventures and other entities in which our sponsored funds or investment vehicles and client accounts have invested or to which they have provided financing. Committed (but unfunded) capital from investors in our sponsored funds is not included in this component of our AUM. The value of development properties is included at estimated completion cost. In the case of real estate operating companies, the total value of real properties controlled by the companies, generally through joint ventures, is included in AUM; and
•the net asset value of our managed securities portfolios, including investments (which may be comprised of committed but uncalled capital) in private real estate funds under our fund of funds investments.
Our calculation of AUM may differ from the calculations of other asset managers, and as a result, this measure may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other asset managers.

Corporate and Other
Our Corporate segment primarily consists of corporate overhead costs. Other consists of activities from strategic non-core non-controlling equity investments and is considered an operating segment but does not meet the aggregation criteria for presentation as a separate reportable segment and is, therefore, combined with our core Corporate function and reported as Corporate and other.

Core corporate
Operating, administrative and other expenses for our core corporate functions rose 9.3% to $200 million for the first quarter of 2026, mainly due to higher management incentive compensation related to our strong performance.
Other (non-core)
We recorded equity loss of $3 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to a $21 million income in the first quarter of 2025, driven by a fair value adjustment related to our investment in Altus.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We believe that we can satisfy our working capital and funding requirements with internally generated cash flow and, as necessary, borrowings under our revolving credit facilities and commercial paper program. Our expected capital requirements for 2026 include up to $500 million of anticipated capital expenditures, net of tenant concessions. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we incurred $81 million of capital expenditures. As of March 31, 2026, we had aggregate future commitments of $214 million related to co-investments funds in our REI segment, approximately $100 million of which is expected to be funded in 2026. Additionally, as of March 31, 2026, we are committed to fund additional capital of $159 million and $66 million to consolidated and unconsolidated projects, respectively, within our REI segment. As of March 31, 2026, we had $2.7 billion of borrowings available under our revolving credit facilities (under both the 5-Year Revolving Credit Agreement and 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement, as described below, and the Turner & Townsend revolving credit facility) and $1.7 billion of cash and cash equivalents. At any point in time, we intend to maintain available commitments under the 5-Year Revolving Credit Agreement in an amount at least equal to the amount of commercial paper notes outstanding. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had $1.9 billion and $852 million, respectively, in outstanding borrowings under the commercial paper program.
We have historically relied on our internally generated cash flow, our revolving credit facilities and commercial paper program to fund our working capital, capital expenditure and general investment requirements (including in-fill acquisitions) and have not sought other external sources of financing to help fund these requirements. In the absence of extraordinary events, large strategic acquisitions or large returns of capital to shareholders, we anticipate that our cash flow from operations, our revolving credit facilities and commercial paper program will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for the foreseeable future, and at a minimum for the next 12 months. Given compensation is our largest expense and our sales and leasing professionals are generally paid on a commission and/or bonus basis that correlates with their revenue production, the negative effect of difficult market conditions is partially mitigated by the inherent variability of our compensation cost structure. We may seek to take advantage of market opportunities to refinance existing debt instruments, as we have done in the past, with new debt instruments at interest rates, maturities and terms we deem attractive. We may also, from time to time in our sole discretion, purchase, redeem, or retire our existing senior notes, through tender offers, in privately negotiated or open market transactions, or otherwise.
On November 13, 2025, we issued $750 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.900% senior notes due 2033, generating aggregate net proceeds of approximately $742 million, after offering expenses. We used the net proceeds from this offering to repay borrowings under our commercial paper program used in connection with the Pearce acquisition and other corporate purposes.
On May 12, 2025, we issued $600 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.800% senior notes due 2030 and $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.500% senior notes due 2035, generating aggregate net proceeds of approximately $1.1 billion after offering expenses. On May 28, 2025, we used a portion of the proceeds from this offering to redeem in full the $600 million aggregate outstanding principal amount of our 4.875% senior notes due 2026.
As noted above, we believe that any future significant acquisitions we may make could require us to obtain additional debt or equity financing. In the past, we have been able to obtain such financing for material transactions on terms that we believed to be reasonable. However, it is possible that we may not be able to obtain acquisition financing on favorable terms, or at all, in the future.
Our long-term liquidity needs, other than those related to ordinary course obligations and commitments such as operating leases, generally consist of the following: the first is the repayment of the outstanding and anticipated principal amounts of our long-term indebtedness. If our cash flow is insufficient to repay our long-term debt when it comes due, then we expect that we would need to refinance such indebtedness or otherwise amend its terms to extend the maturity dates. We cannot make any assurances that such refinancing or amendments would be available on attractive terms, if at all.
The second long-term liquidity need is the payment of obligations related to acquisitions. Our acquisition structures often include deferred and/or contingent purchase consideration in future periods that are subject to the passage of time or achievement of certain performance metrics and other conditions. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had accrued deferred purchase consideration totaling $278 million ($151 million of which was a current liability) and $279 million ($149 million of which was a current liability), respectively, which was included in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” and in “Other long-term liabilities” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets set forth in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Lastly, as described in Note 14 – Income Per Share and Stockholders’ Equity of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) set forth in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report, in November 2024, our Board of Directors (Board) authorized an additional $5.0 billion to our existing $4.0 billion share repurchase program (as amended, the 2024 program) bringing the total authorized amount under the 2024 program to a total of $9.0 billion as of March 31, 2026. The Board also extended the term of the 2024 program through December 31, 2029.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we repurchased 3,582,287 shares of our common stock with an average price of $148.12 per share for an aggregate of $531 million under the 2024 program. During the period from April 1, 2026 through April 21, 2026, we repurchased 57,395 shares of our common stock with an average price of $134.52 per share for an aggregate of $7 million. As of both March 31, 2026 and April 21, 2026, we had $4.3 billion of capacity remaining under the 2024 program.
Our stock repurchases have been funded with cash on hand and proceeds from our commercial paper program, and we intend to continue funding future repurchases with existing cash on hand and proceeds from our commercial paper program. We may utilize our stock repurchase programs to continue offsetting the impact of our stock-based compensation program and on a more opportunistic basis if we believe our stock presents a compelling investment compared to other discretionary uses. The timing of any future repurchases and the actual amounts repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including the market price of our common stock, general market and economic conditions and other factors.
Historical Cash Flows
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities totaled $825 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $546 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in net cash used in operating activities was driven by net outflows associated with working capital movements, largely due to and higher accounts receivable due to the timing of cash collections, partially offset by the timing of vendor payments.
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities totaled $64 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $462 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was driven by proceeds from the disposition of real estate assets, offset by cash paid for the acquisition and development of real estate and capital expenditures. Net cash used in investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2025 was driven by the acquisition of Industrious in the first quarter 2025, along with cash paid for the acquisition and development of real estate and capital expenditures.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $545 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $1,256 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decreased cash inflow was primarily driven by lower net proceeds from the issuance of commercial paper, along with higher cash outflows to repurchase common stock. In addition, cash provided by financing activities in the first quarter of 2025 benefitted from net proceeds from the issuance of senior term loans.

Table of contents
Indebtedness
We use a variety of financing arrangements, both long-term and short-term, to fund our operations in addition to cash generated from operating activities. We also use several funding sources to avoid becoming overly dependent on one financing source, and to lower funding costs.
Long-Term Debt
On July 10, 2023, CBRE Group, Inc. (CBRE Group), CBRE Services, Inc. (CBRE Services) and Relam Amsterdam Holdings B.V., a wholly-owned subsidiary of CBRE Services (Relam Borrower), entered into a 5-year senior unsecured Credit Agreement (2023 Credit Agreement) maturing on July 10, 2028, which refinanced and replaced the previous credit agreement. The 2023 Credit Agreement provides for a senior unsecured term loan credit facility comprised of (i) tranche A Euro-denominated term loans in an aggregate principal amount of €367 million (Tranche A (Euro) Loans) and (ii) tranche A U.S. Dollar-denominated term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $350 million (Tranche A (USD) Loans) with weighted-average interest rate of 3.8% as of March 31, 2026, both requiring quarterly principal payments beginning on December 31, 2024 and continuing through maturity on July 10, 2028. The proceeds of these term loans under the 2023 Credit Agreement were applied to the repayment of all remaining outstanding senior term loans, approximately $437 million, under the previous credit agreement, the payment of related fees and expenses and other general corporate purposes.
On March 13, 2025, CBRE Group, CBRE Services and Relam Borrower entered into Amendment No. 1 to the 2023 Credit Agreement, which provided for, among other things, the ability of Relam Borrower to obtain incremental commitments and loans under the 2023 Credit Agreement in an aggregate principal amount of $750 million (or the Euro equivalent). On March 14, 2025, CBRE Group, CBRE Services and Relam Borrower entered into Amendment No. 2 and Incremental Assumption Agreement to the 2023 Credit Agreement, pursuant to which Relam Borrower incurred incremental term loans (i) denominated in Euros in the aggregate principal amount of €425 million (Incremental Euro Term Loans) and (ii) denominated in U.S. Dollars in the aggregate principal amount of $125 million (Incremental USD Term Loans). The Incremental Euro Term Loans have the same terms applicable to, and constitute the same class as, the Tranche A (Euro) Loans, and the Incremental USD Term Loans have the same terms applicable to, and constitute the same class as, the Tranche A (USD) Loans under the 2023 Credit Agreement. The proceeds of the Incremental Euro Term Loans and the Incremental USD Term Loans were used for working capital and other general corporate purposes (including the partial repayment of borrowings under the commercial paper program) and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with entering into the amendments to the 2023 Credit Agreement. On June 24, 2025, CBRE Group, CBRE Services and Relam Borrower entered into Amendment No. 3 to the 2023 Credit Agreement, for the purpose of, among other things, amending the financial covenants to remove the interest coverage ratio covenant and to increase certain baskets and thresholds in the 2023 Credit Agreement in a manner consistent with the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreements described below.
The term loan borrowings under the 2023 Credit Agreement are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior basis by CBRE Group and CBRE Services.

Short-Term Borrowings
On June 24, 2025, we entered into a 5-year senior unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement (the 5-Year Revolving Credit Agreement) which replaced our prior revolving credit agreement dated August 5, 2022. The 5-Year Revolving Credit Agreement provides for a senior unsecured revolving credit facility available to CBRE Services with commitments in an aggregate principal amount of up to $3.5 billion and a maturity date of June 24, 2030.
The 5-Year Revolving Credit Agreement requires us to pay a fee based on the total amount of the revolving credit facility commitment (whether used or unused). In addition, the 5-Year Revolving Credit Agreement also includes capacity for letters of credit not to exceed $300 million in the aggregate and capacity for swingline loans not to exceed $300 million in the aggregate. The 5-Year Revolving Credit Agreement is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by CBRE Group.
As of March 31, 2026, no amount was outstanding under the revolving credit facility provided for by the 5-Year Revolving Credit Agreement. $24 million of letters of credit were outstanding as of March 31, 2026. Letters of credit are issued in the ordinary course of business and would reduce the amount we may borrow under this revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2025, no amount was outstanding under this revolving credit facility. $17 million of letters of credit were outstanding as of December 31, 2025.
On June 24, 2025, we entered into a 364-day senior unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement (the 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement, and together with the 5-Year Revolving Credit Agreement, the Revolving Credit Agreements). The 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement provides for a senior unsecured revolving credit facility available to CBRE Services with commitments in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1.0 billion and a maturity date of June 23, 2026.
The 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement requires us to pay a fee based on the total amount of the revolving credit facility commitment (whether used or unused). The 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by CBRE Group.
As of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, no amount was outstanding under the revolving credit facility provided for by the 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement.
On December 2, 2024, CBRE Services established a commercial paper program pursuant to which we may issue and sell up to $3.5 billion of short-term, unsecured and unsubordinated commercial paper notes with up to 397-day maturities, under the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Amounts available under the program may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed from time to time. Payment of the commercial paper notes is guaranteed on an unsecured and unsubordinated basis by CBRE Group. The program notes and the guarantee will rank pari passu with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The proceeds from issuances under the program may be used for general corporate purposes. The company intends to maintain available commitments under the Revolving Credit Agreement in an amount at least equal to the amount of commercial paper notes outstanding from time to time. As of March 31, 2026, we had $1.9 billion in outstanding borrowings under the commercial paper program with a weighted-average annual interest rate of 4.02%. As of April 21, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had $2.2 billion and $852 million, respectively, in outstanding borrowings under the commercial paper program.
In addition, Turner & Townsend maintains a £120 million revolving credit facility pursuant to a credit agreement dated March 31, 2022, with an additional accordion option of £20 million, that matures on March 31, 2027. As of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, no amount was outstanding under this revolving credit facility.
We also maintain warehouse lines of credit with certain third-party lenders. See Note 4 – Warehouse Receivables & Warehouse Lines of Credit of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) set forth in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
For additional information on all of our short-term borrowings, see Note 5 – Warehouse Receivables & Warehouse Lines of Credit and Note 12 – Long-Term Debt and Short-Term Borrowings of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements set forth in Item 8 included in our 2025 Annual Report and Note 4 – Warehouse Receivables & Warehouse Lines of Credit and Note 10 – Long-Term Debt and Short-Term Borrowings of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) set forth in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Off –Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have off-balance sheet arrangements that we believe could have a material current or future impact on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations. Our off-balance sheet arrangements are described in Note 12 – Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) set forth in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report and are incorporated by reference herein.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. The estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and on other factors that we believe to be reasonable. Actual results may differ from those estimates. We believe that the following critical accounting policies represent the areas where more significant judgments and estimates are used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. A discussion of such critical accounting policies, which include revenue recognition, business combinations, goodwill and other intangible assets, income taxes, contingencies, and investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries – fair value option can be found in our 2025 Annual Report. There have been no material changes to these policies and estimates as of March 31, 2026.
New Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 – New Accounting Pronouncements of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) set forth in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Core EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or U.S. GAAP. When analyzing our operating performance, investors should use this measure in addition to, and not as an alternative for, their most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We generally use this non-GAAP financial measure to evaluate operating performance and for other discretionary purposes. We believe this measure provides 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 costs and charges that may obscure the underlying performance of our business and related trends. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of core EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
We use core EBITDA as an indicator of the company’s operating financial performance. 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 the following items (Other adjustments):
•net non-cash mortgage servicing rights
•integration and other costs related to acquisitions,
•carried interest incentive compensation 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,
•business and finance transformation,
•costs associated with efficiency and cost-reduction initiatives, and
•net fair value adjustments on strategic non-core investments.
We believe that investors may find this measure useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry because their calculations generally eliminate the 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.

Table of contents
Core EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for our discretionary use because they do not consider certain cash requirements such as tax and debt service payments. This measure may also differ from the amounts calculated under similarly titled definitions in our credit facilities and debt instruments, which 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. We also use core EBITDA as a significant component when measuring our operating performance under our employee incentive compensation programs.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The information in this section should be read in connection with the information on market risk related to changes in interest rates and non-U.S. currency exchange rates in Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our 2025 Annual Report and Note 8 – Derivatives and Hedging Activities to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) set forth in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
Our exposure to market risk primarily consists of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations related to our international operations and changes in interest rates on debt obligations. We manage such risks primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of our debt funding and by using derivative financial instruments. See Note 7 – Fair Value Measurements and Note 8 – Derivatives and Hedging Activities of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements set forth in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for additional information on fair value methodology used to value the swaps at March 31, 2026. We apply Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” when accounting for derivative financial instruments. In all cases, we view derivative financial instruments as a risk management tool and, accordingly, do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
International Operations
We conduct a significant portion of our business and employ a substantial number of people outside the U.S. As a result, we are subject to risks associated with doing business globally. Our Investment Management business has significant euro and British pound denominated assets under management (AUM), as well as associated revenue and earnings in Europe. In addition, our BOE, Advisory and Project Management segments derive significant revenue and earnings in foreign currencies, particularly the euro and British pound sterling. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may produce corresponding changes in our AUM, revenue and earnings.
Our foreign operations expose us to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. These fluctuations may impact the value of our cash receipts and payments in terms of our functional (reporting) currency, which is the U.S. dollar. We use fixed to fixed and float to float cross-currency swaps to hedge our exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates on certain foreign investments as well as foreign currency denominated loans. As of March 31, 2026, we had thirty-four outstanding cross-currency swaps with a total fair value of $80 million included in other assets and $428 million included in other liabilities.
Our businesses could be adversely affected by rapid and unpredictable changes to U.S. trade policy, disputes with U.S. trading partners, increased tariffs, high interest rates, limited access to debt capital or liquidity constraints, downturns in general macroeconomic conditions, regulatory or financial market uncertainty, public health crises and geopolitical conflicts (or the perception that any such events may occur).
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, approximately 43.2% of our revenue was transacted in foreign currencies. The following table sets forth our revenue derived from our most significant currencies (dollars in millions):
| Three Months Ended March 31, | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Table of contents
Although we operate globally, we report our results in U.S. dollars. As a result, the strengthening or weakening of the U.S. dollar will negatively or positively impact our reported results. A hypothetical 10% increase in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the British pound sterling during the three months ended March 31, 2026, would have decreased pre-tax income by $4 million. A hypothetical 10% increase in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the euro would have decreased pre-tax income by $5 million. These hypothetical calculations estimate the impact of translating results into U.S. dollars and do not include an estimate of the impact that a 10% change in the U.S. dollar against other currencies would have had on our foreign operations.
Foreign currency exchange rate changes may have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results. Due to our exposure to constantly changing currency rates, we cannot predict how currency exchange rate changes may affect future operating results. In addition, currency exchange volatility may make it more difficult to perform period-to-period comparisons of our reported results of operations. Our international operations are also subject to political instability and changes in tax, trade and regulatory policies, among other things, which may adversely affect our future financial performance. We monitor these risks and may add more oversight of our business activities in foreign countries where such risks and costs are particularly significant.
Interest Rates
We manage our interest expense by using a combination of fixed and variable rate debt. We may also enter into interest rate swap agreements to attempt to hedge the variability of future interest payments due to changes in interest rates. No interest rate swap agreements were outstanding as of March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025.
We utilize sensitivity analyses to assess the potential effect on our variable rate debt. If interest rates were to increase 100 basis points on our outstanding variable rate debt as of March 31, 2026, the net impact of the additional interest cost would be a decrease of $8 million on pre-tax income for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
For additional information on the estimated fair value and carrying value of our long-term debt, see Note 12 – Long-Term Debt and Short-Term Borrowings of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements set forth in Item 8 included in our 2025 Annual Report and Note 10 – Long-Term Debt and Short-Term Borrowings of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) set forth in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires that we conduct an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, and we have a disclosure policy in furtherance of the same. This evaluation is designed to ensure that all corporate disclosure is complete and accurate in all material respects. The evaluation is further designed to ensure that all information required to be disclosed in our SEC reports is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures and that information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods and in the manner specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer supervise and participate in this evaluation, and they are assisted by members of our Disclosure Committee. Our Disclosure Committee consists of our Chief Legal & Administrative Officer, our Deputy Chief Financial Officer, our senior officers of significant business lines and other select employees.
We conducted the required evaluation, and our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined by Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) were effective as of March 31, 2026 to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

_______________________________
(1)In November 2024, our Board authorized an additional $5.0 billion to our existing $4.0 billion share repurchase program (as amended, the 2024 program) bringing the total authorized amount under the 2024 program to a total of $9.0 billion as of March 31, 2026. The Board also extended the term of the 2024 program through December 31, 2029. During the first quarter of 2026, we repurchased an aggregate of $531 million of our common stock under the 2024 program. The remaining $4.3 billion in the table represents the amount available to repurchase shares under the 2024 program as of March 31, 2026.
Our stock repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares. Under this program, shares may be repurchased in privately negotiated and/or open market transactions, including under plans complying with Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act. Our stock repurchases have been funded with cash on hand and we intend to continue funding future repurchases with existing cash. We may utilize our stock repurchase programs to continue offsetting the impact of our stock-based compensation program and on a more opportunistic basis if we believe our stock presents a compelling investment compared to other discretionary uses. The timing of any future repurchases and the actual amounts repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including the market price of our common stock, general market and economic conditions and other factors.
