Business Outlook Market conditions continue to make providing guidance unrealistic Investment sales remain weak; distressed sales may pick up in 2009 Leasing expected to remain weak until economies begin to improve Outsourcing results will be mixed as new client growth is offset by spending restraint of clients (reducing outsourced staffing levels, which lowers reimbursement revenue), higher vacancies as well as client bankruptcies and consolidations Global Investment Management and Development Services results will remain soft while asset values remain low and sales are slow Our strategy during the downturn remains consistent: Provide great client service Continue aggressive focus on cost containment Focus on improving balance sheet Continue to aggressively grow market share
