Insights

Credit and cash flow analyst

Q3 growth, lower loan spreads, and debt paydown support credit profile.

Cushman & Wakefield posted Q3 revenue of $2,605.9M and Adjusted EBITDA of $159.6M, with net income of $51.4M and diluted EPS of $0.22. The Americas drove the quarter at $1,923.1M revenue. Year to date, Adjusted EBITDA reached $417.5M, indicating broader operating improvement.

On financing, both 2030 term loan tranches were repriced to 1‑month SOFR + 2.75%, and the company prepaid $200.0M of term loans in 2025. Long‑term debt, net, fell to $2,720.1M from $2,939.6M, and year‑to‑date interest expense declined to $161.5M from $174.4M, consistent with lower spreads and repayments.

Liquidity remained solid with cash of $634.4M and an undrawn $1.1B revolver. Actual impact will depend on market volumes across leasing and capital markets and contribution from equity method investments, which included a Q3 loss from the Greystone JV.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

Note 1: Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) and in conformity with rules applicable to quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2025 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 are unaudited. All adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments, except as otherwise noted) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for these interim periods have been included.

Readers of this unaudited condensed consolidated quarterly financial information should refer to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto of Cushman & Wakefield plc (together with its subsidiaries, “Cushman & Wakefield,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us”) for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K (our “2024 Annual Report”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and also available on our website (www.cushmanwakefield.com). Certain footnote disclosures that would substantially duplicate those contained in such audited financial statements or which are not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial statement presentation have been condensed or omitted.

Refer to Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report for further discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies and estimates.

Due to seasonality, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025.

The Company provides for the effects of income taxes on interim financial statements based on estimates of the effective tax rate for the full year, which is based on forecasted income by country and enacted tax rates.

Note 2: New Accounting Pronouncements

The following accounting pronouncements were recently adopted by the Company:

Business Combinations – Joint Ventures

In August 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-05, Business Combinations – Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement (“ASU 2023-05”). ASU 2023-05 applies to the formation of a joint venture and requires a joint venture to initially measure all contributions received upon its formation at fair value. The guidance was effective for all joint ventures with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025 and will be applied prospectively. The Company adopted the ASU effective January 1, 2025, with no impact to its financial position, results of operations or related disclosures.

Income Taxes

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), to amend certain disclosure and presentation requirements. ASU 2023-09 requires entities to disclose disaggregated information within its effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information related to income taxes paid, such as the amount paid disaggregated by jurisdiction, among other disclosures. The guidance was effective for annual periods that began after December 15, 2024 and entities may apply the guidance prospectively or retrospectively. The Company will include the required disclosures in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K that will be filed for the current annual period which ends December 31, 2025. The ASU will result in expanded disclosures related to income taxes but will have no impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Table of Contents

The following accounting pronouncements have been issued but are not effective for the current reporting period and have not been early adopted by the Company:

SEC Staff Bulletins and Releases

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative, to amend certain disclosure and presentation requirements for a variety of topics within the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). These amendments align the requirements in the ASC to the SEC’s removal of certain disclosure requirements set out in Regulation S-X and Regulation S-K. The effective date for each amended topic in the ASC is either the date on which the SEC’s removal of the related disclosure requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective or on June 30, 2027 if the SEC has not removed the requirements by that date. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company does not anticipate that these amendments will have an impact on its financial statements and related disclosures.

Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses

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 (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities. This ASU will require a footnote disclosure about specific expenses by requiring entities to disaggregate, in a tabular presentation, certain expense captions presented on the face of our statements of operations. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and the disclosure requirements are to be applied retrospectively to any prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the ASU will have on its financial statement disclosures and determining the timing of our adoption. This ASU will result in expanded disclosures related to expenses but will have no impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Business Combinations – Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity

In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity (“ASU 2025-03”). ASU 2025-03 revises the guidance in ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, on identifying the accounting acquirer in a business combination in which the legal acquiree is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) that meets the definition of a business. This ASU requires entities to assess whether a legal acquisition of a VIE should be accounted for as a reverse acquisition, where the legal acquiree is the accounting acquirer, which could impact the form and content of post-combination financial statements, the measurement of goodwill and other matters. Prior to ASU 2025-03, a business combination involving the acquisition of a VIE always resulted in the legal acquirer as the accounting acquirer. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments must be applied prospectively to all business combinations that occur after the adoption date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

Measurement of Credit Losses

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets (“ASU 2025-05”). Since the adoption of ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (“ASC 326”), entities have been required to reflect forecasts of future economic conditions when estimating expected credit losses, including when estimating credit losses arising from current accounts receivable and current contract assets. ASU 2025-05 provides an optional practical expedient whereby entities may assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date will not change during the remaining life of current accounts receivable and current contract assets. The expedient may be applied to current accounts receivable and current contract asset balances arising from transactions accounted for under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), including assets acquired in a business combination transaction. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted and entities that decide to elect the optional practical expedient must apply the expedient prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

Internal-Use Software

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (“ASU 2025-06”). ASU 2025-06 modernizes certain aspects of the recognition and disclosure framework for internal-use software costs, including cloud computing arrangements. The ASU removes all references to “development stages” and updates the criteria that must be met for entities to begin capitalizing software costs. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments may be applied prospectively, retrospectively or using a modified prospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

Derivatives Scope Refinement

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 (“ASU 2025-07”). ASU 2025-07 adds a new scope exception in ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, for certain contracts that are not traded on an exchange and have an underlying that is based on operations or activities specific to one of the parties to the contract. Additionally, the ASU clarifies that when an entity has a right to receive a share-based payment from its customer in exchange for the transfer of goods or services, the share-based payment should be accounted for as noncash consideration within the scope of Topic 606. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted and entities may apply the guidance prospectively or on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 3: Segment Data

The Company reports its operations through the following segments: (1) Americas, (2) Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) and (3) Asia Pacific (“APAC”). The Americas consists of operations located in the United States, Canada and other markets in North and South America. EMEA includes operations in the United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands and other markets in Europe and the Middle East. APAC includes operations in Australia, Singapore, India and other markets in the Asia Pacific region.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) is the profitability metric reported to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), the Chief Executive Officer, for purposes of making decisions about allocation of resources to each segment and assessing performance of each segment. The Company believes that investors find this measure useful in comparing our operating performance to that of other companies in our industry because this measure generally illustrates the underlying performance of the business before unrealized loss (gain) on investments, net, impairment of investments, loss on disposition, acquisition related costs, cost savings initiatives, loss (gain) from insurance proceeds, net, non-operating items related to the Greystone JV (as defined below) and other non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes the effects of financings, income taxes and the non-cash accounting effects of depreciation and intangible asset amortization.

As segment assets are not reported to or used by the CODM to measure business performance or allocate resources, total segment assets and capital expenditures are not presented below.

The Company receives payments from customers based upon contractual billing schedules; accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. Contract assets include amounts related to the contractual right to consideration for completed performance obligations not yet available to be invoiced. Contract liabilities are recorded when cash payments are received in advance of performance, including amounts which are refundable.

The following table provides information on contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (in millions):

			As of
			September 30, 2025			December 31, 2024
Short-term contract assets			$	327.7		$	325.7

Table of Contents

Practical Expedient

The Company incurs incremental costs to obtain new contracts across certain of its service lines. As the amortization period of those expenses is 12 months or less, the Company expenses those incremental costs of obtaining the contracts in accordance with Topic 606.

Remaining performance obligations represent the aggregate transaction prices for contracts where the performance obligations have not yet been satisfied. In accordance with Topic 606, the Company does not disclose unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, (ii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue in the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed and (iii) variable consideration for services performed as a series of daily performance obligations, such as those performed within the Services service line. Performance obligations within such Services contracts represent a significant portion of the Company’s contracts with customers not expected to be completed within 12 months.

Note 6: Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The following table summarizes the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reportable segment (in millions):

			Americas			EMEA			APAC			Total
Balance as of December 31, 2024			$	1,469.2		$	309.4		$	219.7		$	1,998.3
Acquisitions			—			8.8			—			8.8
Effect of movements in exchange rates			1.8			31.3			15.1			48.2
Balance as of September 30, 2025			$	1,471.0		$	349.5		$	234.8		$	2,055.3

Portions of goodwill are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar; therefore, a portion of the movements in the reported book value of these balances is attributable to movements in foreign currency exchange rates.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, no impairments of goodwill were recognized as the estimated fair value of each of the identified reporting units was in excess of its carrying value. It is possible that our determination that goodwill for a reporting unit is not impaired could change in the future if current economic conditions or other conditions deteriorate or the operating performance or future prospects for a particular reporting unit declines.

The following tables summarize the carrying amounts and accumulated amortization of intangible assets (in millions):

						As of September 30, 2025
			Useful Life (in years)			Gross Value			Accumulated Amortization			Net Value
C&W trade name			Indefinite			$	546.0		$	—		$	546.0
Customer relationships			4 - 15			1,278.4			(1,160.1)			118.3
Total intangible assets						$	1,824.4		$	(1,160.1)		$	664.3
						As of December 31, 2024
			Useful Life (in years)			Gross Value			Accumulated Amortization			Net Value
C&W trade name			Indefinite			$	546.0		$	—		$	546.0

Other intangible assets			n/a			15.2			(15.2)			—
Total intangible assets						$	1,810.1		$	(1,120.0)		$	690.1

Amortization expense was $9.9 million and $10.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $29.9 million and $36.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

No impairments of intangible assets were recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company disposed of customer relationships, net of $67.2 million related to the sale of a non-core Services business. Refer to Note 7: Disposition for additional information.

Table of Contents

Note 7: Disposition

There were no dispositions during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

On June 18, 2024, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with an unrelated third party to sell a non-core Services business that provides a third-party supplier network to support a small portion of our Services clients in the Americas segment (the “Disposal Group”). The Disposal Group was not considered discontinued operations as the sale of the Disposal Group neither represented a strategic shift nor did it have a material impact on the Company’s operations and financial results.

The sale closed on August 1, 2024 and the Company received net cash consideration of $121.4 million. The Company recorded a loss on disposition of $17.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 within Restructuring, impairment and related charges in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Note 8: Equity Method Investments

Certain investments in which the Company has significant influence over the entity’s financial and operating policies, but does not control, are accounted for under the equity method. The Company’s material equity method investments include Cushman Wakefield Greystone LLC (the “Greystone JV”), in which the Company owns a 40% interest, and CWVS Holding Limited (the “Onewo JV”), in which the Company owns a 35% interest. In addition, the Company licenses certain of its trademarks to the Onewo JV and recognized royalty fee income of $2.5 million and $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $6.9 million and $6.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which is included in Other income, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company had investments in certain strategic joint ventures classified under the equity method of accounting as follows (in millions):

			As of

Greystone JV			$	569.0		$	585.2
Onewo JV			138.1			126.8
Other investments			13.1			11.6
Total Equity method investments			$	720.2		$	723.6

The Company recognized (Loss) earnings from equity method investments during the period as follows (in millions):

The Company received distributions from equity method investments of $3.9 million and $4.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $9.5 million and $14.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Note 9: Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both business operations and economic conditions, including interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk. To mitigate the impact of interest rate and foreign exchange risk, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments. The Company maintains the majority of its overall interest rate exposure on floating rate borrowings to a fixed-rate basis, primarily with interest rate swap agreements. The Company manages exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations primarily through short-term forward contracts.

There have been no significant changes to the interest rate and foreign exchange risk management objectives from those disclosed in the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Interest Rate Derivative Instruments

As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s interest rate hedging instruments consisted of 11 interest rate swap agreements all designated as cash flow hedges, which included five interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $400.0 million expiring on August 21, 2027 and six interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $550.0 million expiring on May 31, 2028.

During the first half of 2025, the Company also elected to terminate a portion of one of its interest rate swap agreements for a notional amount of $200.0 million. The immaterial amount relating to this partially terminated derivative instrument recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss was amortized into earnings over the remaining life of the original swap agreement, which expired on August 21, 2025.

The Company previously elected to terminate certain interest rate swap agreements in November 2022 and June 2023. Amounts relating to these terminated derivative instruments recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss was amortized into earnings over the remaining life of the original agreements, which expired on August 21, 2025.

The Company records changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and subsequently reclassifies the changes into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were $1.0 million in pre-tax losses and $22.7 million in pre-tax gains, respectively, included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss related to these agreements, which will be reclassified to Interest expense, net of interest income as interest payments are made in accordance with the 2018 Credit Agreement; refer to Note 10: Long-Term Debt and Other Borrowings for discussion of the 2018 Credit Agreement (which is defined therein). During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that pre-tax gains of $2.5 million will be reclassified to Interest expense, net of interest income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Non-Designated Foreign Exchange Derivative Instruments

Additionally, the Company enters into short-term forward contracts to mitigate the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates that would adversely impact certain of the Company’s foreign currency denominated transactions. Hedge accounting was not elected for any of these contracts. As such, changes in the fair values of these contracts are recorded directly in earnings. The Company recognized a realized loss of $2.5 million and $5.7 million, and an unrealized gain of $1.9 million and $1.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. The Company recognized a realized gain of $3.6 million and a realized loss of $3.8 million, and an unrealized gain of $0.8 million and $0.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had 31 and 31 foreign currency exchange forward contracts outstanding covering a notional amount of $737.2 million and $559.5 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had not posted, and did not hold, any collateral related to these agreements.

The following table presents the fair value of derivatives as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in millions):

						September 30, 2025									December 31, 2024

The fair value of interest rate swap assets is included within Other non-current assets. The fair value of interest rate swap liabilities is included within Other non-current liabilities and Other current liabilities as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, based on the termination date of the respective agreements. The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other current liabilities. The Company does not net derivatives in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

2018 Credit Agreement

On August 21, 2018, the Company entered into an initial $3.5 billion credit agreement (as amended from time to time, the “2018 Credit Agreement”), comprised of an initial $2.7 billion senior secured term loan (the “Initial Term Loan”) and a revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”).

Term Loans

In 2023, the Company amended the 2018 Credit Agreement to extend the maturity date of $2.0 billion of the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Initial Term Loan to January 31, 2030. In 2023, the Company also used proceeds from the offering of $400.0 million in senior secured notes (discussed below) to repay a portion of principal outstanding under the Initial Term Loan. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $1.0 billion in aggregate principal outstanding due January 31, 2030, referred to as the “2030 Tranche-1,” $1.0 billion in aggregate principal outstanding due January 31, 2030, referred to as the “2030 Tranche-2,” and $192.9 million in aggregate principal outstanding due August 21, 2025, referred to as the “2025 Tranche” (collectively referred to as the “Term Loans”).

In 2024, the Company amended the 2018 Credit Agreement to reprice the 2030 Tranche-1 and the 2030 Tranche-2, reducing the applicable interest rates. In connection with the amendments, the Company incurred additional debt transaction costs, a portion of which was capitalized and will be amortized over the remaining term of the loan and the remainder of which was recognized directly in Interest expense, net of interest income. In 2024, the Company also elected to prepay the full $192.9 million principal balance of the 2025 Tranche.

On January 22, 2025, the Company amended the 2018 Credit Agreement to reprice the 2030 Tranche-1, reducing the applicable interest rate from 1-month Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 3.00% to 1-month Term SOFR plus 2.75%. There were no other material changes to the terms and conditions of the 2018 Credit Agreement. In connection with the amendment, the Company incurred additional debt transaction costs of $1.5 million, of which $0.3 million were capitalized and will be amortized over the remaining term of the loan and $1.2 million were recognized directly in Interest expense, net of interest income.

On July 21, 2025, the Company amended the 2018 Credit Agreement to reprice the 2030 Tranche-2, reducing the applicable interest rate from 1-month Term SOFR plus 3.25% to 1-month Term SOFR plus 2.75%. There were no other material changes to the terms and conditions of the 2018 Credit Agreement. In connection with the amendment, the Company incurred additional debt transaction costs of $1.5 million, of which $0.3 million were capitalized and will be amortized over the remaining term of the loan and $1.2 million were recognized directly in Interest expense, net of interest income.

The 2018 Credit Agreement requires quarterly principal payments equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding borrowings under the 2030 Tranche-1 and the 2030 Tranche-2, including any incremental borrowings. In March and June 2025, the Company elected to prepay $25.0 million and $25.0 million, respectively, in principal outstanding under the 2030 Tranche-2. In August 2025, the Company elected to prepay an additional $150.0 million in principal outstanding under the 2030 Tranche-1.

Table of Contents

The Term Loans bear interest at a variable rate that the Company may select per the terms of the 2018 Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2025, the Company elected to use an annual rate equal to (i) 1-month Term SOFR (subject to a minimum floor of 0.50%), plus 2.75% for the 2030 Tranche-1 and (ii) 1-month Term SOFR (subject to a minimum floor of 0.50%), plus 2.75% for the 2030 Tranche-2. As of September 30, 2025, the effective interest rates were 7.18% and 7.42% for the 2030 Tranche-1 and the 2030 Tranche-2, respectively.

Revolver

As of September 30, 2025, borrowing capacity under the Revolver was $1.1 billion. Borrowings under the Revolver, if any, bear interest at our option, at 1-month Term SOFR, plus 0.10%, plus an applicable rate varying from 1.75% to 2.75% based on achievement of certain Net Leverage Ratios (as defined in the 2018 Credit Agreement). The Revolver was undrawn as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Senior Secured Notes due 2028

On May 22, 2020, the Company issued $650.0 million of senior secured notes due May 15, 2028 (the “2028 Notes”). Net proceeds from the 2028 Notes were $638.5 million, consisting of a $650.0 million aggregate principal amount less $11.5 million from issuance costs. The 2028 Notes were offered in a private placement exempt from registration under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The 2028 Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.75% and yielded an effective interest rate of 6.97% as of September 30, 2025.

Senior Secured Notes due 2031

On August 24, 2023, the Company issued $400.0 million of senior secured notes due September 1, 2031 (the “2031 Notes”). Net proceeds from the 2031 Notes were $392.8 million, consisting of a $400.0 million aggregate principal amount less $7.2 million from issuance costs. The 2031 Notes were offered in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act. The 2031 Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 8.88% and yielded an effective interest rate of 9.09% as of September 30, 2025.

Financial Covenant and Related Terms

The 2018 Credit Agreement has a springing financial covenant, tested on the last day of each fiscal quarter if the outstanding borrowings under the Revolver exceed an applicable threshold. If the financial covenant is triggered, the Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the 2018 Credit Agreement) may not exceed 5.00 to 1.00. In addition, the 2018 Credit Agreement, the indenture governing the 2028 Notes and the indenture governing the 2031 Notes impose certain operating and financial restrictions on the Company, and in the event of certain defaults, all of the Company’s outstanding borrowings under the 2018 Credit Agreement, the 2028 Notes and the 2031 Notes, together with accrued interest and other fees, could become immediately due and payable.

The Company was in compliance with all of the covenants under the 2018 Credit Agreement, the indenture governing the 2028 Notes and the indenture governing the 2031 Notes as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Note 11: Commitments and Contingencies

Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to various claims and litigation. The Company is also subject to threatened or pending legal actions arising from activities of contractors. A liability is recorded for claims or other contingencies when the risk of loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal fees are expensed as incurred. Many of these claims may be covered under the Company’s current insurance programs, subject to self-insurance levels and deductibles. The timing and ultimate settlement of these matters is inherently uncertain, however, based upon information currently available, unless otherwise noted, we believe the resolution of such claims and litigation will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

The Company is also subject to various workers’ compensation and medical claims, primarily as it relates to claims by employees in the U.S. for medical benefits and lost wages associated with injuries incurred in the course of their employment. A liability is also recorded for the Company’s incurred but not reported (IBNR) claims, based on assessment using prior claims history.

19

Table of Contents

These various contingent claims liabilities are presented as Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, contingent liabilities recorded within Other current liabilities were $99.6 million and $81.4 million, respectively, and contingent liabilities recorded within Other non-current liabilities were $58.5 million and $59.9 million, respectively. These contingent liabilities are made up of errors and omissions (“E&O”) claims, litigation matters, general liability, workers’ compensation and other medical claims. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, E&O and other litigation claims were $56.7 million and $56.7 million, respectively, and general liability, workers’ compensation and medical claims liabilities were $101.4 million and $84.6 million, respectively.

The Company had insurance recoverable balances for E&O claims as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 totaling $0.8 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

Payroll Tax Claims

In a non-U.S. jurisdiction, the Company is currently engaged in a dispute with a local tax authority about the application of tax rules related to certain payroll taxes with respect to two of our subsidiaries for tax years ended 2015 to 2021. The tax authority has claimed the Company owes unpaid employer payroll tax contributions of approximately $66.0 million, plus interest. In addition, we could receive claims for other alleged unpaid income taxes.

The Company generally believes that it has appropriately applied the payroll tax rules and disagrees with the amounts claimed. However, an immaterial liability was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2023, equal to the estimated probable loss for the years under review, and there have been no changes to this estimated liability. The Company continues to assess this matter, and it is reasonably possible that in the near term we may recognize additional liabilities when such additional losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. As of September 30, 2025, the estimated range of reasonably possible loss, in excess of amounts accrued, is up to $46.0 million, net of tax benefit.

401(k) Nondiscrimination Testing

In 2023, the Company identified irregularities in its historical nondiscrimination testing for a qualified retirement savings plan available to U.S. employees. As of December 31, 2023, to remedy these irregularities, the Company accrued its best estimate of the amount that the Company would need to contribute to the plan in accordance with applicable correction protocols. The Company paid the immaterial corrective contribution to the plan during the first half of 2025.

U.S. Department of Justice Lawsuit

In January 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) added the Company and one of its multifamily subsidiaries, along with other third parties, as defendants to a civil lawsuit that it and the Attorneys General of several states (collectively, the “Co-Plaintiffs”) have filed against RealPage, Inc. The lawsuit relates to the operation and use of RealPage’s revenue management software, which we were at times directed by our clients to use at some of the multifamily properties we manage. The lawsuit is civil in nature and the DOJ is not currently seeking monetary fines or penalties from the defendants. However, some of the Co-Plaintiffs could seek monetary relief under applicable state laws, which amounts, if awarded, are not currently expected to be material to the Company. We disagree with the lawsuit’s allegations and we do not believe that our use of the revenue management software violates U.S. federal or state antitrust laws. Importantly, the Company is not a landlord, does not own any properties, does not set strategy, pricing, or occupancy targets at any properties it manages, and does not independently determine whether or how revenue management software is used at such properties. Certain states have also filed similar, separate lawsuits but our position in relation to those cases is substantially similar to our position in the case with the DOJ. The Company does not expect that the outcome of these disputes will have a material impact on its business, financial condition or results of operations.

Guarantees

The Company’s guarantees primarily relate to requirements under certain client service contracts and arise through the normal course of business. These guarantees, with certain financial institutions, have both open and closed-ended terms, with remaining closed-ended terms up to 7 years and maximum potential future payments of approximately $142.7 million in the aggregate. None of these guarantees are individually material to the Company’s operating results, financial position or liquidity. The Company considers the probability of future payment or non-performance under these guarantees to be remote.

Greystone JV Indemnities

On November 27, 2023, Greystone Servicing Company LLC (“GSC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Greystone JV, entered into an indemnity agreement with Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), which agreement is not in the normal course of GSC’s business, whereby Freddie Mac agreed to issue one or more loan commitment letters regarding the purchase of 42 first mortgage multifamily property loans brokered by a certain independent broker under temporary suspension by Freddie Mac (“Brokered Loans”). In exchange, GSC agreed to indemnify and hold Freddie Mac harmless from any claims or losses related to such Brokered Loans that result from any fraud, misrepresentation or omission. The Brokered Loans are currently performing and have not had any material impact on the Greystone JV to date. The Company will continue to assess this matter, and although it considers the likelihood of future indemnity obligations related to the Brokered Loans to be remote, it is possible that the matter could result in an additional, potentially material, liability for the Greystone JV in future periods.

GSC is also an approved lender and servicer under the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”). In the third quarter of 2025, GSC’s lender and servicing agreement with Fannie Mae was modified to increase the loss share obligations for 61 loans delivered on or before July 1, 2025, which had been identified as having certain risk characteristics at origination. This list may be updated periodically to reflect changes, such as the addition of new loans or the removal of loans expected to result in no or limited losses. As of September 30, 2025, two such loans were paid in full with no losses incurred and the remaining loans have recorded loan loss provisions in accordance with ASC 326, as applicable. The Company will continue to assess loan loss provisions as any additional loan losses recorded for this matter could result in potentially material liability for the Greystone JV in future periods.

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Greystone JV recorded provision for loan losses of $46.1 million, of which the Company recorded $18.5 million based on its 40% equity interest as part of its Loss on equity method investments. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Greystone JV recorded provision for loan losses of $63.2 million, of which the Company recorded $25.3 million based on its 40% equity interest as part of its Earnings from equity method investments. Any additional potential impact to the Greystone JV as a result of these matters would only impact the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements by our 40% equity interest in the Greystone JV.

Gain from Insurance Proceeds

Subsequent to the completion of our 2014 acquisition of the DTZ Group from UGL Limited (“UGL”), the Company brought a breach of warranty claim under warranty and indemnity insurance policies obtained in connection with the acquisition to cover certain losses incurred by the Company by reason of warranty breaches by UGL. The claim has been the subject of a lawsuit that has been pending since 2019 (the “Litigation”).

On September 30, 2024, the Company and one of the defendant insurers entered into a settlement agreement, under which the insurer paid the Company $17.3 million in exchange for a release in the Litigation. During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company also received an additional $1.9 million in payments from other defendant insurers for releases in the Litigation.

In February 2025, a ruling was issued that valued the loss suffered by the Company in an amount no greater than the policy limits of defendant insurers dismissed from the case prior to trial. As the other defendant insurers who remained in the case were declared to be prevailing parties, the Company will be required to pay their costs, which will be the subject of negotiation. In the third quarter of 2025, the Company recorded an immaterial liability for estimated settlement of these costs.

Note 12: Related Party Transactions

The Company recognized royalty fee income from equity method investments as disclosed in Note 8: Equity Method Investments.

In addition, as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had receivables from brokers and other employees of $50.8 million and $47.5 million, respectively, that are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets, and $446.6 million and $364.5 million, respectively, that are included in Other non-current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These amounts primarily represent prepaid commissions, retention and sign-on bonuses to brokers and other items such as travel and other advances to employees.

Note 13: Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures certain assets and liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), which 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 on the measurement date. In addition, ASC 820 establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value as follows:

•Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

•Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and

•Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are based on unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data.

Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, a deferred purchase price (“DPP”) receivable related to our revolving accounts receivables securitization program, which we have amended periodically (the “A/R Securitization”), restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, short-term borrowings, long-term debt, interest rate swaps and foreign exchange contracts. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash approximates the fair value of these instruments. Certain money market funds in which the Company has invested are highly liquid and considered cash equivalents. These funds are valued at the per unit rate published as the basis for current transactions. Due to the short-term nature of trade and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and short-term borrowings, their carrying amount is considered to be the same as their fair value.

Under the A/R Securitization, the Company recorded a DPP receivable upon the initial sale of trade receivables. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying amount of the DPP receivable approximates its fair value. Refer to Note 14: Accounts Receivable Securitization for more information.

The estimated fair value of external debt was $2.9 billion and $3.1 billion as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. These instruments were valued using dealer quotes that are classified as Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. The gross carrying value of the debt was $2.8 billion and $3.0 billion as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which excludes debt issuance costs. Refer to Note 10: Long-Term Debt and Other Borrowings for additional information.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in millions):

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, there were no transfers between the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. There have been no significant changes to the valuation techniques and inputs used to develop the fair value measurements from those disclosed in the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Deferred Compensation Plans

The Company sponsors non-qualified deferred compensation plans. The plans allowed certain highly-compensated employees in the U.S. to defer a portion of their compensation, enabling the employees to defer tax on compensation until payment is made. All deferred compensation plans are currently frozen.

The Company has established rabbi trusts under which investments are held to fund payment of the liability of the frozen deferred compensation plans. The investments consist of company owned life insurance policies and mutual funds. The fair value of deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities is determined based on the value of the underlying investments. At each reporting date, the value of the life insurance policies is based on their cash surrender value and the value of the mutual funds is based on quoted prices in active markets.

Deferred compensation plan assets are presented within Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other non-current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Deferred compensation liabilities are presented within Accrued compensation and Other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts and Interest Rate Swaps

The estimated fair value of interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward contracts are determined based on the expected cash flows of each derivative instrument. The valuation method reflects the contractual period and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate and foreign currency forward curves (Level 2 inputs). Refer to Note 9: Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities for discussion of the fair value associated with these derivative assets and liabilities.

Earn-out Liabilities

The Company has various contractual obligations associated with the acquisition of several real estate service companies in the United States and Europe, including contingent consideration comprised of earn-out payments to the sellers subject to achievement of certain performance criteria in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the respective purchase agreements. An increase to a probability of achievement would result in a higher fair value measurement of the earn-out liability.

The amounts disclosed in the fair value hierarchy table above are included in Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had the potential to make a maximum of $15.7 million and a minimum of $0.0 million (undiscounted) in earn-out payments. Assuming the achievement of the applicable performance criteria, these earn-out payments will be made over the next 5 years.

23

Table of Contents

Earn-out liabilities are classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy because the methodology used to develop the estimated fair value includes significant unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions. The fair value of earn-out liabilities is based on the present value of probability-weighted expected return method related to the earn-out performance criteria on each reporting date. The probabilities of achievement assigned to the performance criteria are determined based on due diligence performed at the time of acquisition, as well as actual performance achieved subsequent to acquisition. Adjustments to the earn-out liabilities in periods subsequent to the completion of acquisitions are reflected within Operating, administrative and other in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The table below presents a reconciliation of earn-out liabilities measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) (in millions):

			Earn-out Liabilities
			2025			2024

Payments			(3.8)			(13.1)
Balance as of September 30,			$	13.3		$	14.2

Investments in Real Estate Ventures

The Company directly invests in early stage property technology (“proptech”) companies, real estate investment funds and other real estate companies across various sectors. The Company typically reports these investments at cost, less impairment charges, and adjusts these investments to fair value if the Company identifies observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar instruments of the same issuer.

Investments in early stage proptech companies or other real estate companies are typically fair valued as a result of pricing observed in initial or subsequent funding rounds. These investments are not fair valued on a recurring basis and as such have been excluded from the fair value hierarchy table. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our investments in early stage proptech companies had a fair value of approximately $44.6 million and $45.5 million, respectively, and are included in Other non-current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Investments in real estate venture capital funds and co-investment funds are primarily fair valued using the net asset value (“NAV”) per share (or its equivalent) provided by investees or held at cost, less impairment charges. Critical inputs to NAV estimates include valuations of the underlying real estate assets and borrowings, which incorporate investment-specific assumptions such as discount rates, capitalization rates, rental and expense growth rates, and asset-specific market borrowing rates. As these investments are not required to be classified in the fair value hierarchy, they have been excluded from the fair value hierarchy table. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our investments in real estate venture capital funds and co-investment funds had a fair value of approximately $70.9 million and $73.9 million, respectively, and are included in Other non-current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company adjusts these various real estate investments to their fair values each reporting period, and the changes in fair values are reflected in Other income, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized an unrealized loss of $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively, on our real estate investments. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized an unrealized gain of $0.9 million and an unrealized loss of $0.8 million, respectively, on our real estate investments.

Note 14: Accounts Receivable Securitization

Under the A/R Securitization, certain of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries continuously sell receivables to certain wholly-owned special purpose entities at fair market value. The special purpose entities then sell 100% of the receivables to an unaffiliated financial institution (the “Purchaser”). Although the special purpose entities are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, they are separate legal entities with their own separate creditors who will be entitled, upon their liquidation, to have liabilities satisfied out of their assets prior to any assets or value in such special purpose entities becoming available to their equity holders and their assets are not available to pay other creditors of the Company.

Table of Contents

All transactions under the A/R Securitization are accounted for as a true sale in accordance with ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing (“ASC 860”). Following the sale and transfer of the receivables to the Purchaser, the receivables are legally isolated from the Company and its subsidiaries, and the Company sells, conveys, transfers and assigns to the Purchaser all its rights, title and interest in the receivables. Receivables sold are derecognized from the consolidated balance sheet. The Company continues to service, administer and collect the receivables on behalf of the Purchaser, and recognizes a servicing liability in accordance with ASC 860. Any financial statement impact associated with the servicing liability was immaterial for all periods presented.

Under the A/R Securitization, the Company records a DPP receivable upon the initial sale of trade receivables. The DPP receivable represents the difference between the fair value of the trade receivables sold and the cash purchase price and is recognized at fair value as part of the sale transaction. The DPP receivable is paid to the Company in cash on behalf of the Purchaser as the receivables are collected; however, due to the revolving nature of the A/R Securitization, cash collected from the Company’s customers is reinvested by the Purchaser daily in new receivable purchases under the A/R Securitization. The carrying amount of the DPP receivable, which approximates its fair value, is primarily based on the face amount of receivables, adjusted for estimated credit losses. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the DPP receivable of $330.5 million and $310.9 million, respectively, is included in Other non-current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, receivables sold under the A/R Securitization were $2.1 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively, and cash collections from customers on receivables sold were $2.1 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively, all of which were reinvested in new receivables purchases and are included in cash flows from operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the outstanding principal on receivables sold under the A/R Securitization was $462.2 million and $437.6 million, respectively.

The A/R Securitization also provides funding from the Purchaser against receivables sold into the program. On August 14, 2025, the Company amended the A/R Securitization to increase the maximum facility limit to $250.0 million. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had aggregate capital outstanding under this facility of $100.0 million and $100.0 million, respectively, and the unused portion of the facility limit, net of letters of credit, was $116.6 million and $100.0 million, respectively. The A/R Securitization expires on June 19, 2026, unless extended or an earlier termination event occurs.

Note 16: Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through October 30, 2025, the date on which these financial statements were issued, and identified the following subsequent events to disclose:

On October 21, 2025, the Company amended the 2018 Credit Agreement to (i) decrease the aggregate commitments under the Revolver by $100.0 million, reducing its borrowing capacity from $1.1 billion to $1.0 billion, (ii) extend the maturity date of borrowings under the Revolver from April 28, 2027 to October 21, 2030 and (iii) amend the interest rate applicable to borrowings under the Revolver to 1-month Term SOFR plus an applicable rate varying from 1.75% to 2.75%.

On October 29, 2025, the Company prepaid an additional $100.0 million in principal outstanding under the 2030 Tranche-2 of our Term Loans, using cash on hand, which brought the total year-to-date principal prepayments to $300.0 million.

Macroeconomic Trends and Uncertainty

Demand for our services is largely dependent on the relative strength of the global and regional commercial real estate markets, which are highly sensitive to general macroeconomic conditions. There continues to be significant macroeconomic uncertainty in many markets around the world, including as a result of international trade policy and new or elevated tariffs, which may negatively impact demand for our services. Any future uncertainty, weakness or volatility in the capital and credit markets, a decline in the U.S. or global economy, or the public perception that any of these events may occur, could adversely affect global and regional demand for commercial real estate, which would negatively affect the performance of some or all of our service lines.

Redomiciliation to Bermuda

We are currently seeking to redomicile our parent company and incorporate under the laws of Bermuda in a restructuring effected through a U.K. scheme of arrangement (referred to herein as the “Redomiciliation”). We obtained shareholder approval to effect the Redomiciliation at a series of back-to-back shareholder meetings held on October 16, 2025. Completion of the Redomiciliation remains subject to satisfaction of other conditions, including approval from an applicable U.K. court under the laws of England and Wales. See “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report for more information.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. The estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience, current facts and circumstances, and on other factors that we believe to be reasonable. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions. We review these estimates on a periodic basis to ensure reasonableness. Although actual amounts may differ from such estimated amounts, we believe such differences are not likely to be material. For additional detail regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates, refer to the Company’s 2024 Annual Report. There have been no material changes to these policies or estimates as of September 30, 2025.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to recently issued accounting pronouncements within Note 2: New Accounting Pronouncements of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Items Affecting Comparability

When reading our financial statements and the information included in this Quarterly Report, it should be considered that we have experienced, and continue to experience, several material trends and uncertainties that have affected our financial condition and results of operations and could affect future performance. We believe that the following material trends and uncertainties are important to understand the variability of our historical earnings and cash flows and any potential future variability.

Macroeconomic Conditions

Our results of operations are significantly impacted by economic trends, government policies and the global and regional real estate markets. These include the following: overall economic activity, volatility of the financial markets, interest rates and inflation, demand for commercial real estate, the impact of tax and regulatory policies, the cost and availability of credit, trade policies and tariffs, changes in employment rates and the geopolitical environment. Similarly, economic conditions in certain countries such as the United States or China can have significant influence on the commercial real estate sector across an entire region, impacting supply chains, cross-border investments and development activity in key markets.

Our diversified operating model helps to partially mitigate the negative effect of difficult market conditions on our margins as a substantial portion of our costs are variable compensation expenses, specifically commissions and bonuses paid to our professionals in our Leasing and Capital markets service lines, and the majority of revenue in our Services business is generated from long-term contracts. Nevertheless, ongoing adverse economic trends could pose significant risks to our operating performance and financial condition.

30

Table of Contents

Acquisitions and Dispositions

Our results may include the incremental impact of completed transactions, which could impact the comparability of our results on a year-over-year basis. Our results could include incremental revenues and expenses following the completion of an acquisition, or comparable results could include revenues and expenses of recent dispositions. Additionally, there could be an adverse impact on net income for a period of time after the completion of an acquisition driven by transaction-related and integration expenses. From time to time, we use strategic and in-fill acquisitions, as well as joint ventures, to add new service capabilities, to increase our scale within existing capabilities and to expand our presence in new or existing geographic regions globally. As it relates to dispositions, results may include gains or losses on the disposition and we may incur incremental transaction-related costs that could have an adverse impact on net income.

International Operations

Our business consists of service lines operating in multiple regions inside and outside of the U.S. Our international operations expose us to global economic trends, as well as foreign government tax, regulatory and policy measures.

Additionally, outside of the U.S., we generate earnings in other currencies and are subject to fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar (“USD”). These currency fluctuations, most notably the Australian dollar, Singapore dollar, euro and British pound sterling, have positively and adversely affected our operating results measured in USD in the past and are likely to do so in the future. It can be difficult to compare period-over-period financial statements when the movement in currencies against the USD does not reflect trends in the local underlying business as reported in its local currency.

In order to assist our investors and improve comparability of results, we present the year-over-year changes in certain of our non-GAAP financial measures, such as Fee-based operating expenses and Adjusted EBITDA, in “local” currency. The local currency figures represent the year-over-year change assuming no movement in foreign exchange rates from the prior year. We believe that this provides our management and investors with another important view of comparability and trends in the underlying operating business.

Seasonality

A significant portion of our revenue is seasonal, especially for service lines such as Leasing and Capital markets. This impacts the comparison of our financial condition and results of operations on a quarter-by-quarter basis. Generally, our industry is focused on completing transactions by calendar year-end with a high concentration of activity in the last quarter of the calendar year while certain expenses are recognized more evenly throughout the calendar year. Historically, our revenue and operating income typically tend to be lowest in the first quarter, and highest in the fourth quarter of each year. Our Services business partially mitigates this intra-year seasonality, due to the recurring nature of this service line which generates more stable revenues throughout the year.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have used the following measures, which are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under SEC guidelines:

i.Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA margin;

ii.Segment operating expenses and Fee-based operating expenses; and

iii.Local currency.

Management principally uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate operating performance, develop budgets and forecasts, improve comparability of results and assist our investors in analyzing the underlying performance of our business. These measures are not recognized measurements under GAAP. When analyzing our operating results, investors should use them in addition to, but not as an alternative for, the most directly comparable financial results calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Because the Company’s calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from other companies, our presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

31

Table of Contents

The Company believes that these measures provide a more complete understanding of ongoing operations, enhance comparability of current results to prior periods and may be useful for investors to analyze our financial performance. The measures eliminate the impact of certain items that may obscure trends in the underlying performance of our business. The Company believes that they are useful to investors for the additional purposes described below.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin: We have determined Adjusted EBITDA to be our primary measure of segment profitability. We believe that investors find this measure useful in comparing our operating performance to that of other companies in our industry because these calculations generally eliminate unrealized loss (gain) on investments, net, impairment of investments, loss on disposition, acquisition related costs, cost savings initiatives, loss (gain) from insurance proceeds, net, non-operating items related to the Greystone JV and other non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes the effects of financings, income taxes and the non-cash accounting effects of depreciation and intangible asset amortization. Adjusted EBITDA margin, a non-GAAP measure of profitability as a percent of revenue, is measured against service line fee revenue.

Segment operating expenses and Fee-based operating expenses: Consistent with GAAP, reimbursed costs for certain customer contracts are presented on a gross basis in both revenue and operating expenses for which the Company recognizes substantially no margin. Total costs and expenses include segment operating expenses, as well as other expenses such as depreciation and amortization, impairment of investments, loss on disposition, acquisition related costs, cost savings initiatives and other non-recurring items. Segment operating expenses includes Fee-based operating expenses and Cost of gross contract reimbursables. We believe Fee-based operating expenses more accurately reflects the costs we incur during the course of delivering services to our clients and is more consistent with how we manage our expense base and operating margins.

Local currency: In discussing our results, we refer to percentage changes in local currency. These metrics are calculated by holding foreign currency exchange rates constant in year-over-year comparisons. Management believes that this methodology provides investors with greater visibility into the performance of our business excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations.

Adjustments to U.S. GAAP Financial Measures Used to Calculate Non-GAAP Financial Measures

During the periods presented in this Quarterly Report, we had the following adjustments:

Unrealized loss (gain) on investments, net represents net unrealized gains and losses on fair value investments.

Impairment of investments reflects certain one-time impairment charges related to investments or other assets.

Loss on disposition reflects losses on the sale or disposition of businesses as well as other transaction costs associated with the sales, which are not indicative of our core operating results given the low frequency of business dispositions by the Company.

Acquisition related costs includes certain direct costs incurred in connection with acquiring businesses.

Cost savings initiatives primarily reflects severance and other one-time employment-related separation costs related to actions to reduce headcount across select roles to help optimize our workforce given the challenging macroeconomic conditions and operating environment, as well as property lease rationalizations. These actions continued through September 30, 2024.

Loss (gain) from insurance proceeds, net of legal fees represents one-time gains related to certain contingent events, such as insurance recoveries, which are not considered ordinary course and which are only recorded once realized or realizable, net of related legal fees or estimated settlements. We exclude such net gains from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA to improve the comparability of our operating results for the current period to prior and future periods.

Non-operating items related to the Greystone JV reflects certain non-operating activity presented within earnings from equity method investments related to the Greystone JV for (i) gains recognized from the retention of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) upon the origination and sale of mortgage loans, (ii) increases or decreases in the fair value of the MSRs and (iii) estimated provisions for credit losses related to mortgage loans. This activity is specific to the Greystone JV rather than all of the Company’s equity method investments based on the Greystone JV’s specialized industry, namely, multi-family lending and loan servicing solutions. Starting in the second quarter of 2025, we have excluded such activity from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA as it is non-cash in nature and does not represent the underlying operating performance of the business. This activity is reported entirely within the Americas reportable segment.

The long-term incentive awards granted to these four executive officers consisted entirely of performance-based awards in 2024 and they provided for a higher maximum payout than typical awards. This award design structure was unique to 2024 and was not utilized in 2025. We therefore excluded a portion of the non-cash stock-based compensation expense associated with those awards from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA to improve the comparability of our operating results for the current period to prior and future periods, due to the unique nature of the 2024 awards and because we do not consider it to be a normal, recurring operating expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, these costs were offset by the release of a non-ordinary course compliance reserve, which when originally accrued in a prior period had been excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA within “Legal and compliance matters”.

Table of Contents

Three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024

Revenue

Revenue of $2.6 billion increased $261.7 million or 11% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily driven by strength in the Americas. Leasing revenue increased 9%, principally driven by strong demand for office and industrial leasing in the Americas. Capital markets revenue increased 21%, primarily driven by strong performance across all asset classes in the Americas, and as healthy fundamentals, such as improved debt availability, supported a resilient transaction environment across most major markets, along with growth in EMEA and APAC. Services revenue increased 6%, driven by growth across all sub-service lines, primarily higher facilities services and project management revenue, partially offset by the sale of a non-core Services business in August 2024, which accounted for $9.8 million and $8.6 million of facilities management and Gross contract reimbursables revenue, respectively, in the three months ended September 30, 2024. Excluding the impact of this sale, Services and Gross contract reimbursables revenue increased 7% and 17%, respectively, and total revenue increased 12%. In addition, Valuation and other revenue increased 12%.

Costs of services

Costs of services of $2.2 billion increased $240.2 million or 13% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, principally driven by an increase in employment costs of approximately $126.0 million, including higher commissions as a result of higher brokerage revenue, and higher salaries and reimbursed employee costs as a result of higher Services revenue. Similarly, third-party consumables and sub-contractor costs increased approximately $100.0 million as a result of higher Services revenue. Cost of services provided to clients increased 11% and Cost of gross contract reimbursables increased 16%.

Operating, administrative and other

Operating, administrative and other expenses of $320.6 million increased $6.4 million or 2% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily driven by an increase in employment costs of approximately $22.0 million, including an increase in stock-based compensation expense attributable to improved vesting expectations for certain previously granted performance-based equity awards, as well as strategic investments and cost inflation, partially offset by the impact of our cost savings initiatives.

Restructuring, impairment and related charges

The Company did not incur any Restructuring, impairment and related charges during the third quarter of 2025. In the third quarter of 2024, Restructuring, impairment and related charges of $14.1 million were primarily driven by a $4.5 million loss on disposition related to the sale of a non-core Services business in the Americas, as well as severance costs of approximately $7.0 million associated with previous cost savings initiatives.

(Loss) earnings from equity method investments

Loss from equity method investments was $8.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to earnings from equity method investments of $12.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The $20.7 million decline in (loss) earnings from equity method investments was primarily due to a decline of $16.0 million in earnings recognized from our equity method investment in Cushman Wakefield Greystone LLC (the “Greystone JV”) driven by changes in mix of mortgage loan origination volumes compared to the third quarter of 2024, contributing to a lower value of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”), and higher provisions for credit losses for mortgage loans due to expected losses on specific loans and higher risk-sharing obligations. In the third quarter of 2025, the Greystone JV recorded a non-cash provision for loan losses of $46.1 million, of which the Company recorded $18.5 million based on its 40% equity interest which was included within Loss from equity method investments. Changes in expectations and forecasts may materially impact the provision for loan losses in the future.

Other income, net

Other income, net of $2.2 million decreased $18.4 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, principally driven by a $17.3 million gain from insurance proceeds recognized in the third quarter of 2024 (see Note 11: Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information).

Table of Contents

(Benefit from) provision for income taxes

Benefit from income taxes for the third quarter of 2025 was $6.3 million on earnings before income taxes of $45.1 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the provision for income taxes was $19.3 million on earnings before income taxes of $53.0 million. The change from income tax expense to income tax benefit was primarily driven by an approximately $12.5 million release of valuation allowances in the U.K. on certain deferred tax assets, lower earnings before income taxes, as well as changes in the jurisdictional mix of those earnings.

Net income and Adjusted EBITDA

Net income of $51.4 million increased by $17.7 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. Net income margin was 2.0% compared to 1.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The $17.7 million increase in net income was principally driven by growth across all service lines, as well as the impact of our cost savings initiatives. Additionally, the loss on disposition recorded in the third quarter of 2024 contributed to the increase from the prior year period. These favorable trends were partially offset by higher stock-based compensation expense, strategic investments, cost inflation and lower earnings recognized from the Greystone JV, as well as a one-time gain from insurance proceeds recognized in the third quarter of 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA of $159.6 million increased $17.1 million or 12% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, driven by the same factors impacting Net income above, with the exception of the loss on disposition, gain from insurance proceeds and the impact of the Greystone JV. Adjusted EBITDA margin, measured against service line fee revenue, was 9.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of 23 basis points from the third quarter of 2024.

Nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024

Revenue

Revenue of $7.4 billion increased $557.4 million or 8% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily driven by Capital markets and Leasing revenue growth of 20% and 9%, respectively. Capital markets revenue was strong across all segments as improved debt availability and built-up demand continued to positively impact transaction volumes in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, led by the Americas. Leasing revenue increased primarily due to office and industrial leasing in the Americas, including a relatively higher number of large transactions. Services revenue increased 3% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily driven by higher facilities services and project management revenue, partially offset by the sale of a non-core Services business in August 2024, which accounted for $61.1 million and $47.6 million of facilities management and Gross contract reimbursables revenue, respectively, in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Excluding the impact of this sale, Services and Gross contract reimbursables revenue increased 5% and 15%, respectively, and total revenue increased 10%. In addition, Valuation and other revenue increased 7%.

Costs of services

Costs of services of $6.1 billion increased $449.8 million or 8% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, principally driven by an increase in employment costs of approximately $285.0 million, including higher commissions as a result of higher brokerage revenue, and higher salaries and reimbursed employee costs as a result of higher Services revenue. Similarly, third-party consumables and sub-contractor costs increased approximately $157.0 million as a result of higher Services revenue. Cost of services provided to clients increased 6% and Cost of gross contract reimbursables increased 12%. Total costs of services as a percentage of total revenue was 82% for both the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

Operating, administrative and other

Operating, administrative and other expenses of $944.7 million increased $40.3 million or 4% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily driven by an increase in employment costs of approximately $48.0 million, including an increase in stock-based compensation expense attributable to improved vesting expectations for certain previously granted performance-based equity awards and the modification of our non-executive chairman’s awards in 2024 (which reduced expense in the prior year period), as well as strategic investments and cost inflation. These trends were partially offset by the impact of our cost savings initiatives and effective expense management. Operating, administrative and other expenses as a percentage of total revenue was 13% for both the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

37

Table of Contents

Restructuring, impairment and related charges

Restructuring, impairment and related charges of $6.5 million decreased $30.0 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily driven by a $17.0 million loss on disposition recognized in 2024 related to the sale of a non-core Services business in the Americas, as well as a decrease in severance costs of approximately $15.0 million associated with previous cost savings initiatives. These declines were partially offset by an impairment loss on real estate investments of $6.5 million recognized in the first quarter of 2025.

Interest expense, net of interest income

Interest expense of $161.5 million decreased $12.9 million or 7% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily driven by lower outstanding principal balances on our Term Loans following optional principal prepayments made in 2024 and 2025, as well as lower interest rates on our Term Loans compared to the prior year period as a result of our repricings in 2024 and 2025.

Earnings from equity method investments

Earnings from equity method investments of $2.7 million decreased $25.4 million or 90% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to a decline of $23.0 million in earnings recognized from our equity method investment in the Greystone JV driven by changes in mix of mortgage loan origination volumes compared to 2024, contributing to a lower value of MSRs, and higher provisions for credit losses for mortgage loans due to expected losses on specific loans and higher risk-sharing obligations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Greystone JV recorded a non-cash provision for loan losses of $63.2 million, of which the Company recorded $25.3 million based on its 40% equity interest which was included within Earnings from equity method investments. Changes in expectations and forecasts may materially impact the provision for loan losses in the future.

Other income, net

Other income, net of $9.5 million decreased $16.1 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, principally driven by a $17.3 million gain from insurance proceeds recognized in the third quarter of 2024 (see Note 11: Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information).

Provision for income taxes

Provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $15.7 million on earnings before income taxes of $126.3 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the provision for income taxes was $25.3 million on earnings before income taxes of $43.7 million. The $9.6 million decrease in income tax expense compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily driven by an approximately $12.5 million release of valuation allowances in the U.K. on certain deferred tax assets. This decline was partially offset by higher earnings before income taxes, predominantly in the U.S. which improved by approximately $69.0 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as well as changes in the jurisdictional mix of those earnings resulting in lower non-deductible losses when compared to the same period in 2024.

Net income and Adjusted EBITDA

Net income of $110.6 million increased $92.2 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Net income margin was 1.5% compared to 0.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The $92.2 million improvement in net income was principally driven by growth in all of our service lines, lower interest expense and lower depreciation and amortization expense, as well as the impact of our cost savings initiatives and effective expense management. Additionally, the loss on disposition recorded in 2024 contributed to the increase from the prior year period. These favorable trends were partially offset by higher stock-based compensation expense, strategic investments, cost inflation and lower earnings recognized from the Greystone JV, as well as a one-time gain from insurance proceeds recognized in the third quarter of 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA of $417.5 million increased $58.0 million or 16% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, driven by the same factors impacting Net income above, with the exception of the loss on disposition, interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, gain from insurance proceeds and the impact of the Greystone JV. Adjusted EBITDA margin, measured against service line fee revenue, was 8.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of 69 basis points from the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Americas: Three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024

Americas revenue in the third quarter of 2025 was $1.9 billion, an increase of $172.6 million or 10% from the third quarter of 2024. This increase was principally driven by 11% growth in Leasing revenue, with strong demand for office and industrial leasing as a result of more favorable market conditions than the third quarter of 2024, as well as a relatively higher number of large transactions. Office leasing benefited from return-to-office trends and occupiers across both the office and industrial sectors continue to seek high-quality space. Capital markets revenue grew 16%, primarily due to higher office, industrial and multi-family transactions, as healthy fundamentals, such as improved debt availability, supported a resilient transaction environment. Services revenue grew 4%, principally driven by higher facilities services revenue of approximately $12.0 million due to the expansion of existing client mandates, partially offset by the sale of a non-core Services business in August 2024. Excluding the impact of this sale, which accounted for $9.8 million and $8.6 million of facilities management and Gross contract reimbursables revenue, respectively, in the third quarter of 2024, Services and Gross contract reimbursables revenue increased 6% and 15%, respectively. Valuation and other revenue also increased 19%.

Fee-based operating expenses of $1.2 billion increased 9% principally due to higher employment costs of approximately $93.0 million, including higher commissions associated with higher brokerage revenue and higher salaries as a result of higher Services revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA of $125.9 million increased $14.6 million or 13% compared to the third quarter of 2024, primarily driven by growth in all of our Americas services lines, partially offset by strategic investments and cost inflation.

Americas: Nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024

Americas revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $5.4 billion, an increase of $331.0 million or 7% from the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was principally driven by 11% growth in Leasing revenue, primarily due to strength in the office and industrial sectors as a result of more favorable market conditions than the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as well as a relatively higher number of large transactions. Capital markets revenue grew 17% primarily due to growth across all asset classes and deal sizes, with particular strength in office, industrial and multi-family sectors, as improved debt availability and built-up demand continued to positively impact transaction volumes in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Services revenue grew 2%, principally driven by higher facilities services revenue of approximately $46.0 million due to the expansion of existing client mandates, partially offset by the sale of a non-core Services business in August 2024. Excluding the impact of this sale, which accounted for $61.1 million and $47.6 million of facilities management and Gross contract reimbursables revenue, respectively, in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Services and Gross contract reimbursables revenue increased 5% and 9%, respectively. Valuation and other revenue also increased 13%.

Fee-based operating expenses of $3.3 billion increased 6% principally due to higher employment costs of approximately $220.0 million, including higher commissions of approximately $118.0 million associated with higher brokerage revenue, higher stock-based compensation expense, higher salaries as a result of higher Services revenue, and cost inflation. These trends were partially offset by lower third-party consumables and sub-contractor costs of approximately $47.0 million due to changes in client mix.

Adjusted EBITDA of $317.4 million increased $32.7 million or 11% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily driven by growth in all of our Americas service lines and the impact of our cost savings initiatives, partially offset by higher stock-based compensation expense, strategic investments and cost inflation.

EMEA: Three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024

EMEA revenue in the third quarter of 2025 was $260.1 million, an increase of $40.2 million or 18% from the third quarter of 2024. Excluding the favorable impact of foreign currency of $14.9 million, EMEA revenue increased 12% on a local currency basis. The increase was principally driven by higher Services revenue, which was up 17% on a local currency basis, primarily due to growth in project management revenue of approximately $17.0 million, with particular strength in France and Italy. Leasing and Capital markets revenue grew 9% and 14%, respectively, on a local currency basis, as a result of more favorable market conditions than the third quarter of 2024. Leasing revenue grew with particular strength in the U.K. and Spain and Capital markets revenue grew with strength in the Netherlands. In addition, Valuation and other and Gross contract reimbursables revenue increased 3% and 17%, respectively, on a local currency basis.

Fee-based operating expenses of $205.9 million increased 11% on a local currency basis, principally due to higher employment costs of approximately $19.0 million and higher third-party consumables and sub-contractor costs of approximately $11.0 million associated with revenue growth in Services.

Adjusted EBITDA of $18.3 million increased $5.9 million or 48% compared to the third quarter of 2024, primarily driven by growth across all of our EMEA service lines, the favorable impact of foreign currency and the impact of our cost savings initiatives, partially offset by cost inflation.

EMEA: Nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024

EMEA revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $724.7 million, an increase of $60.6 million or 9% from the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Excluding the favorable impact of foreign currency of $25.3 million, EMEA revenue increased 6% on a local currency basis. This increase was principally driven by higher Services revenue, which was up 6% on a local currency basis, primarily due to higher project management revenue of approximately $20.0 million, with particular strength in France and Italy and as the Company made a proactive effort to exit certain low margin contracts in 2024 as we focus on sustainable growth. Capital markets revenue grew 16% on a local currency basis, as improved debt availability and built-up demand continued to positively impact transaction volumes in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, with particular strength in the U.K. In addition, Valuation and other and Gross contract reimbursables revenue increased 2% and 18%, respectively, on a local currency basis. Partially offsetting these trends was lower Leasing revenue, which declined 3% on a local currency basis, due to lower volumes across most markets and the timing of certain large Leasing contracts in the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Fee-based operating expenses of $578.3 million increased 3% on a local currency basis, principally due higher employment costs of approximately $28.0 million, higher third-party consumables and sub-contractor costs of approximately $12.0 million associated with revenue growth in Services, as well as cost inflation, partially offset by the favorable impact of foreign currency of approximately $11.0 million.

Adjusted EBITDA of $52.6 million increased $18.0 million or 52% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily driven by growth in our EMEA Services and Capital markets service lines, the favorable impact of foreign currency and the impact of our cost savings initiatives, partially offset by cost inflation and declines in Leasing revenue.

APAC: Three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024

APAC revenue in the third quarter of 2025 was $422.7 million, an increase of $48.9 million or 13% from the third quarter of 2024. Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign currency of $1.4 million, APAC revenue increased 14% on a local currency basis. The increase was principally driven by higher Services revenue, which was up 6% on a local currency basis, primarily due to increases in facilities management and project management revenue of approximately $5.0 million and $4.5 million, respectively, with strength in India and Greater China, and Gross contract reimbursables revenue, which was up 31% on a local currency basis, primarily due to the expansion of existing client mandates. Capital markets revenue increased $8.6 million, or 84% on a local currency basis, as healthy fundamentals, such as improved debt availability, supported a resilient transaction environment, with particular strength in India and Japan. In addition, Valuation and other revenue increased 5% on a local currency basis. Leasing revenue declined 6% on a local currency basis, primarily due to the timing of certain Leasing contracts in Greater China in the third quarter of 2024, partially offset by strength in Singapore and Australia.

Fee-based operating expenses of $266.8 million increased 7% on a local currency basis, principally due to higher third-party consumables and sub-contractor costs of approximately $11.0 million associated with revenue growth in Services, higher employment costs of approximately $11.0 million and cost inflation.

Adjusted EBITDA of $15.4 million decreased $3.4 million or 18% compared to the third quarter of 2024, primarily driven by lower equity method pick-up recognized from CWVS Holding Limited (the “Onewo JV”) due to the timing of quarterly earnings, and cost inflation, partially offset by growth in our APAC Services and Capital markets service lines and the impact of our cost savings initiatives.

APAC: Nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024

APAC revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $1.2 billion, an increase of $165.8 million or 16% from the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign currency of $9.8 million, APAC revenue increased 17% on a local currency basis. The increase was principally driven by higher Services revenue, which was up 4% on a local currency basis, due to increases in facilities management revenue of approximately $13.0 million, and Gross contract reimbursables revenue, which was up 48% on a local currency basis, primarily due to one significant facilities management contract for which we started providing services across APAC in July 2024, along with the expansion of existing client mandates. Capital markets revenue increased $18.2 million, or 49% on a local currency basis, as improved debt availability and built-up demand continued to positively impact transaction volumes in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, with particular strength in India and Japan. In addition, Valuation and other revenue increased 2% on a local currency basis. Leasing revenue was relatively flat compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Fee-based operating expenses of $782.1 million increased 5% on a local currency basis, principally due to higher employment costs of approximately $26.0 million, including higher commissions associated with higher brokerage revenue, higher third-party consumables and sub-contractor costs of approximately $12.0 million associated with revenue growth in Services and cost inflation.

Adjusted EBITDA of $47.5 million increased $7.3 million or 18% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily driven by growth in our APAC Services and Capital markets service lines and the impact of our cost savings initiatives, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency and cost inflation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, available cash reserves, debt capacity under our Revolver and funding from our A/R Securitization. Our primary uses of liquidity are operating expenses, acquisitions, strategic growth investments and debt payments.

While macroeconomic challenges and uncertainty continue to be present, we believe that we have maintained sufficient liquidity to satisfy our working capital and other funding requirements, including capital expenditures, and expenditures for human capital and contractual obligations, with operating cash flow and cash on hand and, as necessary, borrowings under our Revolver or funding from our A/R Securitization. Over the last several years we have been focused on managing the balance sheet and improving operating cash flows through working capital efficiencies. We also continually evaluate opportunities to obtain, retire or restructure our debt, credit facilities or financing arrangements for strategic reasons or to obtain additional financing to fund investments, operations and obligations to further strengthen our financial position.

We have historically relied on our operating cash flow to fund our working capital needs and ongoing capital expenditures on an annual basis. Our operating cash flow is seasonal—typically lowest in the first quarter of the year, when revenue is lowest, and greatest in the fourth quarter of the year, when revenue is highest. The seasonal nature of our operating cash flow can result in a mismatch with funding needs, which we manage using available cash on hand and, as necessary, borrowings under our Revolver or funding from our A/R Securitization.

In the absence of a large strategic acquisition or other extraordinary events, we believe our cash on hand, cash flow from operations and availability under our Revolver will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for the foreseeable future, and at a minimum for the next 12 months. We may seek to take advantage of opportunities to refinance existing debt instruments, as we have done in the past, with new debt instruments at interest rates, maturities and terms we consider attractive.

We actively manage our indebtedness through additional refinancings and repricings and since January 1, 2024, we have continued to reduce our leverage. In January, July and October 2025, the Company repriced the Term Loans to reduce the applicable interest rates and as of the date of this Quarterly Report, the Company has made total year-to-date principal prepayments of $300.0 million on the Term Loans. On October 21, 2025, the Company also extended the maturity date of borrowings under the Revolver from April 28, 2027 to October 21, 2030. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there are no long-term debt arrangements maturing prior to 2028.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $1.7 billion of liquidity, consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $0.6 billion and availability on our undrawn Revolver of $1.1 billion.

As a professional services firm, funding our operating activities is not capital intensive. Total capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $24.4 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company is party to an off-balance sheet revolving A/R Securitization, whereby we continuously sell eligible trade receivables to an unaffiliated financial institution. Receivables are derecognized from our balance sheet upon sale, for which we receive cash payment and record a deferred purchase price receivable which is realized after collection of the underlying receivables. This program also provides funding from a committed purchaser against receivables sold into the program with a maximum facility limit of $250.0 million. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had aggregate capital outstanding under this facility of $100.0 million and the unused portion of the facility limit, net of letters of credit, was $116.6 million. On October 2, 2025, the $100.0 million in aggregate capital outstanding was repaid, and on October 28, 2025, the Company received $60.0 million in aggregate capital from this facility. The A/R Securitization expires on June 19, 2026, unless extended or an earlier termination event occurs. Refer to Note 14: Accounts Receivable Securitization of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Operating Activities

We generated $83.1 million of cash from operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of $9.7 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily driven by higher net working capital used for operations associated with revenue growth compared to the prior year period and lower non-cash charges of $8.8 million, offset by an improvement in net income of $92.2 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we used net working capital for operations of $163.0 million, an increase of $93.1 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in our use of net working capital was principally driven by higher trade receivables and contract assets of approximately $139.0 million offset by higher accounts payable of approximately $110.0 million in line with our revenue growth, as well as higher recruiting and retention payments of approximately $60.0 million.

Investing Activities

We used $29.0 million of cash from investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to cash generated from investing activities of $114.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This $143.3 million decline was primarily driven by proceeds from the sale of a non-core Services business in the third quarter of 2024 of $121.4 million, a decrease in the net capital funding from the facility limit secured by our A/R Securitization of $25.0 million and an $11.9 million increase in cash paid for acquisitions and equity securities, reflecting our continued focus on growth investments. These trends were partially offset by a $7.3 million decrease in capital expenditures.

Financing Activities

We used $233.1 million of cash in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $35.6 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily driven by a $50.0 million increase in principal repayments under our 2018 Credit Agreement, partially offset by an $11.6 million decrease in payments for deferred and contingent consideration.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market and Other Risk Factors

Market Risk

The principal market risks we are exposed to are:

i.interest rates on debt obligations; and

ii.foreign exchange risk.

We manage these risks primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of our debt funding and by using various derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps or foreign currency contracts. We enter into derivative instruments with trusted and diverse counterparties to reduce credit risk. These derivative instruments are strictly used for risk management purposes and, accordingly, are not used for trading or speculative purposes.

47

Table of Contents

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to interest rate volatility with regard to the Term Loans and any borrowings we draw under the Revolver.

The Term Loans bear interest at a variable rate that the Company may select per the terms of the 2018 Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2025, we elected to use an annual rate equal to (i) 1-month Term SOFR (subject to a minimum floor of 0.50%), plus 2.75% for the 2030 Tranche-1 and (ii) 1-month Term SOFR (subject to a minimum floor of 0.50%), plus 2.75% for the 2030 Tranche-2. In October 2025, we repriced the 2030 Tranche-1 of our Term Loans, reducing the applicable interest rate by 25 basis points to 1-month Term SOFR plus 2.50%. Our 2028 Notes and 2031 Notes bear interest at annual fixed rates of 6.75% and 8.88%, respectively.

We manage this interest rate risk by entering into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swap agreements to attempt to hedge the variability of future interest payments driven by fluctuations in interest rates. Our interest rate risk management strategy is focused on limiting the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows to lower our overall borrowing costs.

We continually assess interest rate sensitivity to estimate the potential impact of changes in short-term interest rates on our variable rate borrowings, after giving consideration to our interest rate swap agreements. If variable interest rates increased 100 basis points as of September 30, 2025, our annualized results would reflect incremental interest expense of approximately $8.0 million.

Foreign Exchange Risk

During the three months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, approximately 30% and 29% of our revenue was transacted in currencies other than USD, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, approximately 30% and 29% of our revenue was transacted in currencies other than USD, respectively. The following presents our revenue derived from our most significant currencies (in millions):

			Three Months Ended September 30,																		Nine Months Ended September 30,
			2025									2024									2025									2024
United States dollar			$	1,822.6		70		%				$	1,668.9		71		%				$	5,139.9		70		%				$	4,836.0		71		%

(1) All other foreign currencies individually represent less than 4% of total revenue for the periods presented.

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 USD, our reporting currency. As a result, the strengthening or weakening of the USD will positively or negatively impact our reported results. Holding all other variables constant, the Company assessed the risk of a hypothetical 10% increase in the value of the USD against the Singapore dollar, euro, and Australian dollar for the three months ended September 30, 2025, which would have resulted in a decrease in revenue of approximately $9.3 million, $12.7 million and $11.4 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a hypothetical 10% increase in the value of the USD against the Singapore dollar, euro, and Australian dollar would have resulted in a decrease in revenue of approximately $27.6 million, $34.4 million and $31.9 million, respectively. These hypothetical calculations estimate the impact of translating results into USD and do not include an estimate of the impact that a 10% change in the USD against other currencies would have had on our foreign operations.

Our foreign exchange risk management strategy is achieved by establishing local operations in the markets that we serve, invoicing customers in the same currency in which costs are incurred and the use of derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts. Translating expenses incurred in foreign currencies into USD offsets the impact of translating revenue earned in foreign currencies into USD. We enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to manage currency risks associated with intercompany transactions and cash management.
