Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains statements that are forward looking within the meaning of the private securities litigation reform act of 1995. These include statements regarding CBRE’s future growth momentum, operations, market share, business outlook, and financial expectations. These statements are estimates only and actual results may ultimately differ from them. Except to the extent required by applicable securities laws, we undertake no obligation to update or publicly revise any of the forward-looking statements that you may hear today. Please refer to our first quarter earnings report, furnished on Form 8-K, and our most recent annual report filed on Form 10-K, in particular any discussion of risk factors or forward-looking statements, which are filed with the SEC and available at the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov), for a full discussion of the risks and other factors that may impact any forward-looking statements that you may hear today. We may make certain statements during the course of this presentation, which include references to “non-GAAP financial measures,” as defined by SEC regulations.

Footnotes Slide 5 Fee revenue is gross revenue less both client reimbursed costs largely associated with employees that are dedicated to client facilities and subcontracted vendor work performed for clients. EBITDA represents earnings before net interest expense, write-off of financing costs on extinguished debt, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Normalized EBITDA excludes (from EBITDA) certain carried interest incentive compensation expense (reversal) to align with the timing of associated revenue, cost containment expenses and integration and other costs related to acquisitions. Fee revenue margin is based on Normalized EBITDA. Adjusted net income and adjusted EPS include the impact of an adjusting provision for income taxes to a normalized rate and exclude amortization expense related to certain intangible assets attributable to acquisitions, the write-off of financing costs on extinguished debt, cost containment expenses, integration and other costs related to acquisitions, and adjusts certain carried interest incentive compensation expense (reversal) to align with the timing of associated revenue. All EPS information is based on diluted shares. Excludes the impact of all currency effects including hedging. See slide 15 for summary of Q1 2016 currency effects versus prior year. Based on adjusted results. Slide 9 Excludes securities business. Normalized EBITDA excludes (from EBITDA) certain carried interest incentive compensation expense (reversal) to align with the timing of associated revenue and cost containment expenses. As of March 31, 2016. Slide 10 In Process figures include Long-Term Operating Assets (LTOA) of $0.1 billion for 1Q 16, $0.1 billion for 4Q 15, $0.3 billion for 4Q 14, and $0.9 billion for 4Q 13. LTOA are projects that have achieved a stabilized level of occupancy or have been held 18-24 months following shell completion or acquisition. Pipeline deals are projects we are pursuing which we believe have a greater than 50% chance of closing or where land has been acquired and the projected construction start is more than 12 months out. Pro-forma revenue is revenue plus equity in unconsolidated subsidiaries and gains on sales of assets net of non-controlling interest. Note – Local currency percent changes versus prior year is a non-GAAP measure noted on slides 5, 6, 7 and 11. These percent changes are calculated by comparing current year results at prior year exchange rates versus prior year results. In addition, in compliance with Regulation G, we have not reconciled the (non-GAAP) guidance for our adjusted earnings per share or Normalized EBITDA for our principal businesses to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because this cannot be done without unreasonable effort. Slide 6 Fee revenue is gross revenue less both client reimbursed costs largely associated with employees that are dedicated to client facilities and subcontracted vendor work performed for clients. Slide 7 We regard leasing revenue as largely recurring because unlike most other transaction businesses, leasing activity normally takes place when leases expire. The average lease expires in five to six years. This means that, on average, in a typical year approximately 17% to 20% of leases roll over and a new leasing decision must be made. When a lease expires in the ordinary course, we expect it to be renewed, extended or the tenant to vacate the space to lease another space in the market. In each instance, a transaction is completed. If there is a downturn in economic activity, some tenants may seek a short term lease extension, often a year, before making a longer term commitment. In this scenario, that delayed leasing activity tends to be stacked on top of the normal activity in the following year. Thus, we characterize leasing as largely recurring because we expect an expiration of a lease, in the ordinary course, to lead to an opportunity for a leasing commission from such completed transaction. Occupier Outsourcing and Property Management revenue excludes associated leasing and sales revenue, most of which is contractual. Fee revenue is gross revenue less both client reimbursed costs largely associated with employees that are dedicated to client facilities and subcontracted vendor work performed for clients. Slide 11 Fee revenue is gross revenue less both client reimbursed costs largely associated with employees that are dedicated to client facilities and subcontracted vendor work performed for clients. Normalized EBITDA excludes (from EBITDA) certain carried interest incentive compensation expense (reversal) to align with the timing of associated revenue, cost containment expenses and integration and other acquisition related costs. All EPS information is based on diluted shares. Adjusted earnings per share includes the impact of adjusting the provision for income taxes to a normalized rate as well as excludes the effect of select charges from U.S. GAAP earnings per diluted share. Such select charges include the write-off of financing costs on extinguished debt, amortization expense related to certain intangibles attributable to acquisitions, integration and other costs related to acquisitions, cost containment expenses and certain carried interest incentive compensation expense (reversal) to align with the timing of associated revenue.

Non-Gaap financial measures The following measures are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under SEC guidelines: (i) fee revenue (ii) net income attributable to CBRE Group, Inc., as adjusted (which we also refer to as “adjusted net income”) (iii) diluted income per share attributable to CBRE Group, Inc. shareholders, as adjusted (which we also refer to as “adjusted earnings per share” or “adjusted EPS”) (iv) EBITDA and EBITDA, as adjusted (the latter of which we also refer to as “normalized EBITDA”) None of these measures is a recognized measurement under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or “U.S. GAAP”, and when analyzing our operating performance, readers should use them in addition to, and not as an alternative for, their most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Our management generally uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate operating performance and for other discretionary purposes, and 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 because they eliminate the impact of selected charges that may obscure trends in the underlying performance of our business. The Company further uses certain of these measures, and believes that they are useful to investors, for purposes described below. With respect to fee revenue: the Company believes that investors may find this measure useful to analyze the financial performance of our occupier outsourcing and asset services business lines and our business generally because it excludes costs reimbursable by clients and, as such, provides greater visibility into the underlying performance of our business. With respect to adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, EBITDA and normalized EBITDA: the Company believes that investors may find these measures useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry because their calculations generally eliminate the accounting effects of acquisitions, which would include impairment charges of goodwill and intangibles created from acquisitions, and—in the case of EBITDA and normalized EBITDA —the effects of financings and income tax and the accounting effects of capital spending. All of these measures may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. In the case of EBITDA and normalized EBITDA, these measures are not intended to be measures of free cash flow for our management’s discretionary use because they do not consider cash requirements such as tax and debt service payments. The EBITDA and normalized EBITDA measures calculated herein may also differ from the amounts calculated under similarly titled definitions in our credit facilities and debt instruments, which amounts are further adjusted to reflect certain other cash and non-cash charges and are used by us to determine compliance with financial covenants therein and our ability to engage in certain activities, such as incurring additional debt and making certain restricted payments. The Company also uses normalized EBITDA and adjusted EPS as significant components when measuring our operating performance under our employee incentive compensation programs.
