“We started 2024 by delivering core earnings that exceeded our expectations heading into the year, driven, in part, by solid net revenue growth,” said Bob Sulentic, CBRE’s chair and chief executive officer. “Leasing outperformed expectations, driven by office leasing growth globally that reflects a resilient economy and companies making progress on bringing their employees back to the office. At the same time, persistent inflation kept interest rates higher than expected, which led to underperformance in our property sales transaction activity.

“Our Global Workplace Solutions segment again delivered double-digit net revenue growth, even as margins fell short of expectations. We have initiated actions to bring our costs in this segment quickly back into line with revenue trajectory.”

During the first quarter of 2024, CBRE’s revenue rose 8% for its Resilient Businesses(6) and 1% for its Transactional Businesses.(6)

Looking ahead, CBRE still expects to generate core earnings per share in the range of $4.25 to $4.65 in 2024.

“Our confidence in achieving our earnings outlook is underpinned by our Resilient Businesses’ continued strong performance, our rapid actions on costs, and the fact that the Advisory Segment remains on track to achieve its growth target for the year, despite a more uncertain economic outlook,” Mr. Sulentic said.

Property Leasing
•Global leasing revenue rose 4% (same local currency), exceeding expectations.
•Americas leasing revenue rose 4% (same local currency) with the U.S. achieving solid growth for the first time in six quarters.
•Asia-Pacific (APAC) set the pace with growth of 9% (13% local currency), led by Australia, India and South Korea. Japan leasing revenue grew modestly, despite an outsized year-over-year increase in first-quarter 2023.
•Leasing revenue increased 4% (1% local currency) in Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA), driven by Continental Europe, notably France and Spain.
•Globally, office leasing grew by double digits, as continued economic resilience and progress on return-to-office plans emboldened tenants to make occupancy decisions.

Capital Markets
•Sales activity remained under pressure from high interest rates and tight credit conditions. Global sales revenue declined 11% (10% local currency), slightly more than expected.
•EMEA bucked the downward global trend with sales revenue up 8% (4% local currency), driven by the U.K., where property values have made the most progress toward resetting, as well as Spain.
•Conversely, sales revenue fell 15% (same local currency) in the Americas and 14% (7% local currency) in APAC, although Japan continued to perform well.
•Globally, office sales had the least pronounced decline followed by multifamily.
•Mortgage origination revenue jumped 34% (33% local currency), attributable to higher loan fees and interest earnings on escrow balances.

Other Advisory Business Lines
•Loan servicing revenue rose 5% (same local currency). The servicing portfolio increased to approximately $414 billion, up 1% for the quarter and 7% from a year ago.
•Property management net revenue increased 7% (same local currency), with strength in all regions around the world.
•Valuations revenue edged up 1% (same local currency).
•Absent one-time costs and excluding mortgage servicing rights gains, Advisory segment operating profit margin would have improved 25 basis points compared with first-quarter 2023.

Note: all percent changes cited are vs. first-quarter 2023, except where noted.

•Facilities management net revenue increased 11% (same local currency), paced by the continued strength in the Local business.
•Project management net revenue rose 7% (same local currency), slightly below trend, reflecting a difficult comparison with first-quarter 2023, when net revenue rose 18%.
•Weak operating leverage in the quarter reflected certain one-time expenses, including higher-than- anticipated medical claims, and increased costs, which the company is now focused on substantially reducing.
•Even with a second consecutive quarter of very strong business wins, the pipeline remained elevated, notably driven by the industrial & logistics, media & technology and financial & professional services sectors.

Real Estate Development
•Global development operating loss(9) totaled approximately $4 million, in line with expectations. The company realized an unusually large gain on a development portfolio sale in last year’s first quarter, accounting for its robust performance in that period. As expected, U.S. development was modestly profitable in the current first quarter.
•The in-process portfolio ended first-quarter 2024 at $18.8 billion, up $3.0 billion from year-end 2023. The increase was largely driven by a new fee-based industrial development project. The pipeline decreased $0.5 billion during the quarter to $12.8 billion.

Investment Management
•Total revenue edged up 1% (flat local currency), with flat asset management fees.
•Operating profit fell 14.0% (same local currency) to approximately $37 million, slightly better than expected.
•Assets Under Management (AUM) totaled $144.0 billion, a decrease of $3.5 billion from year-end 2023. The decrease was driven by lower asset values and adverse foreign currency movement.
Corporate and Other Segment

•Non-core operating loss totaled $71 million, primarily due to the lower value of the company’s investment in Altus Power, Inc. (NYSE:AMPS), reflecting a decline in its share price during the quarter.
•Core corporate operating loss increased 5%, or roughly $5 million.

Additional information concerning factors that may influence the company’s financial information is discussed under “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” and “Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, our latest quarterly report on Form 10-Q, as well as in the company’s press releases and other periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The terms “net revenue,” “core adjusted net income,” “core EBITDA,” “core EPS,” “business line operating profit (loss),” “segment operating profit on revenue margin,” “segment operating profit on net revenue margin,” “net debt” and “free cash flow,” all of which CBRE uses in this press release, are non-GAAP financial measures under SEC guidelines, and you should refer to the footnotes below as well as the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section in this press release for a further explanation of these measures. We have also included in that section reconciliations of these measures in specific periods to their most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP for those periods.
Totals may not sum in tables in millions included in this release due to rounding.

Note: We have not reconciled the (non-GAAP) core earnings per share forward-looking guidance included in this release to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because this cannot be done without unreasonable effort due to the variability and low visibility with respect to costs related to acquisitions, carried interest incentive compensation and financing costs, which are potential adjustments to future earnings. We expect the variability of these items to have a potentially unpredictable, and a potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.

(1)Local currency percentage change is calculated by comparing current-period results at prior-period exchange rates versus prior-period results.
(2)Net revenue is gross revenue less costs largely associated with subcontracted vendor work performed for clients. These costs are reimbursable by clients and generally have no margin.


CBRE Press Release
May 3, 2024
Page 8
(3)Core adjusted net income and core earnings per diluted share (or core EPS) exclude the effect of select items from GAAP net income and GAAP earnings per diluted share as well as adjust the provision for (benefit from) income taxes and impact on non-controlling interest for such charges. Adjustments during the periods presented included non-cash depreciation and amortization expense related to certain assets attributable to acquisitions and restructuring activities, certain carried interest incentive compensation expense to align with the timing of associated revenue, costs incurred related to legal entity restructuring, write-off of financing costs on extinguished debt, integration and other costs related to acquisitions, asset impairments, and costs associated with efficiency and cost-reduction initiatives. It also removes the fair value changes and related tax impact of certain strategic non-core non-controlling equity investments that are not directly related to our business segments (including venture capital “VC” related investments).
(4)Core EBITDA represents earnings, inclusive of non-controlling interest, before net interest expense, write-off of financing costs on extinguished debt, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, asset impairments, adjustments related to certain carried interest incentive compensation expense to align with the timing of associated revenue, costs incurred related to legal entity restructuring, integration and other costs related to acquisitions and costs associated with efficiency and cost-reduction initiatives. It also removes the fair value changes, on a pre-tax basis, of certain strategic non-core non-controlling equity investments that are not directly related to our business segments (including venture capital “VC” related investments).
(5)Free cash flow is calculated as cash flow provided by operations, less capital expenditures (reflected in the investing section of the consolidated statement of cash flows).
(6)Net revenue from Resilient Businesses includes the entire Global Workplace Solutions segment, property management, loan servicing, asset management fees in the investment management business, and valuations. Net revenue from Transactional Businesses includes sales, leasing, mortgage origination, carried interest and incentive fees in the investment management business, and development fees.
(7)Segment operating profit (loss) is the measure reported to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to each segment and assessing performance of each segment. Segment operating profit represents earnings, inclusive of non-controlling interest, before net interest expense, write-off of financing costs on extinguished debt, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and asset impairments, as well as adjustments related to the following: certain carried interest incentive compensation expense to align with the timing of associated revenue, costs incurred related to legal entity restructuring, and integration and other costs related to acquisitions, and costs associated with efficiency and cost-reduction initiatives.
(8)Segment operating profit on revenue and net revenue margins represent segment operating profit divided by revenue and net revenue, respectively.
(9)Represents line of business profitability/losses, as adjusted.
(10)For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the company incurred capital expenditures of $67.7 million (reflected in the investing section of the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows) and received tenant concessions from landlords of $7.3 million (reflected in the operating section of the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows).
(11)Net debt is calculated as total debt (excluding non-recourse debt) less cash and cash equivalents.
(12)Cash represents cash and cash equivalents (excluding restricted cash).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The following measures are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under SEC guidelines:
(i)Net revenue
(ii)Core EBITDA
(iii)Business line operating profit/loss
(iv)Segment operating profit on revenue and net revenue margins
(v)Free cash flow
(vi)Net debt
(vii)Core net income attributable to CBRE Group, Inc. stockholders, as adjusted (which we also refer to as “core adjusted net income”)
(viii)Core EPS
These measures are not recognized measurements under United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). When analyzing our operating performance, investors should use these measures in addition to, and not as an alternative for, their most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Our management generally uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate operating performance and for other discretionary purposes. The company believes these measures provide a more complete understanding of ongoing operations, enhance comparability of current results to prior periods and may be useful for investors to analyze our financial performance because they eliminate the impact of selected charges that may obscure trends in the underlying performance of our business. The company further uses certain of these measures, and believes that they are useful to investors, for purposes described below.
With respect to net revenue, net revenue is gross revenue less costs largely associated with subcontracted vendor work performed for clients. We believe that investors may find this measure useful to analyze the company’s overall financial performance because it excludes costs reimbursable by clients that generally have no margin, and as such provides greater visibility into the underlying performance of our business.
With respect to Core EBITDA, business line operating profit/loss, and segment operating profit on revenue and net revenue margins, 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 strategic acquisitions, which would include impairment charges of goodwill and intangibles created from such acquisitions, 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 Core EBITDA, this measure is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for our management’s discretionary use because it does not consider cash requirements such as tax and debt service payments. The Core EBITDA measure calculated herein may also differ from the amounts calculated under similarly titled definitions in our credit facilities and debt instruments, which amounts are further adjusted to reflect certain other cash and non-cash charges and are used by us to determine compliance with financial covenants therein and our ability to engage in certain activities, such as incurring additional debt. The company also uses segment operating profit and core EPS as significant components when measuring our operating performance under our employee incentive compensation programs.
With respect to free cash flow, the company believes that investors may find this measure useful to analyze the cash flow generated from operations after accounting for cash outflows to support operations and capital expenditures. With respect to net debt, the company believes that investors use this measure when calculating the company’s net leverage ratio.

With respect to core EBITDA, core EPS and core adjusted net income, the company believes that investors may find these measures useful to analyze the underlying performance of operations without the impact of strategic non-core equity investments (Altus Power, Inc. and certain other investments) that are not directly related to our business segments. These can be volatile and are often non-cash in nature.
