NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

Readers of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (Quarterly Report) should refer to the audited financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements of CBRE Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (which may be referred to in these financial statements as “CBRE,” “the company,” “we,” “us” and “our”), for the year ended December 31, 2024, which are included in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K (2024 Annual Report), filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and also available on our website (www.cbre.com), since we have omitted from this Quarterly Report certain footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in such audited financial statements. You should also refer to Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies, in the notes to consolidated financial statements in our 202 4 Annual Report for further discussion of our significant accounting policies and estimates.

Financial Statement Preparation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules applicable to quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and include all information and footnotes required for interim financial statement presentation, but do not include all disclosures required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S.), or General Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), for annual financial statements. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., which require management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and are based on our best judgment. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including consideration of the current economic environment, and adjust such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2025 presentation.

2. New Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” This ASU requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid and will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The new requirements should be applied on a prospective basis with an option to apply them retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the impact that ASU 2023-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” This ASU requires public business entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 with early adoption permitted. These requirements should be applied on a prospective basis with an option to apply them retrospectively. We are evaluating the impact that ASU 2024-03 will have on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.

3. Acquisitions

Industrious

On January 16, 2025, we acquired the remaining 60% ownership interest in Industrious National Management Company LLC (Industrious), a leading provider of flexible workplace solutions, increasing our ownership to 100%. Industrious forms part of our Building Operations & Experience (BOE) segment.

The Industrious acquisition was treated as a business combination under FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 805, “Business Combinations,” and was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. We financed the acquisition with (i) borrowings under our existing commercial paper program; and (ii) cash on hand.

The following summarizes the consideration transferred at closing for the Industrious acquisition (dollars in millions):


Cash consideration	$	369
Fair value of existing equity method investment in Industrious	373
Forgiveness of note receivable	50

Other	51
Total consideration	$	843

The following represents the summary of the excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired (dollars in millions):


Purchase price	$	843
Less: Estimated fair value of net assets acquired	269
Excess purchase price over estimated fair value of net assets acquired	$	574

The preliminary purchase accounting adjustments related to the Industrious acquisition have been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired has been recorded to goodwill. The goodwill arising from the Industrious acquisition consists largely of the synergies and opportunities related to the flexible workplace solutions space. Of the goodwill generated, approximately $395 million is deductible for tax purposes.

The acquired assets and assumed liabilities of Industrious were recorded at their estimated fair values. The preliminary purchase price allocation for the business combination is primarily for intangible assets acquired, and subject to change within the respective measurement period which will not extend beyond one year from the acquisition date. Measurement period adjustments will be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. Any such adjustments may be material.

The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values assigned to the identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date on January 16, 2025 (dollars in millions):


Assets Acquired:
Current assets	$	96
Property, plant & equipment	42
Intangible assets	247
Goodwill	574
Right-of-use and other assets	689
Total assets acquired	1,648
Liabilities Assumed:
Current liabilities	122
Operating lease and other liabilities	683
Total liabilities assumed	805
Estimated Fair Value of Net Assets Acquired	$	843

In connection with the Industrious acquisition, below is a summary of the value allocated to the intangible assets acquired (dollars in millions):

Asset Class

Amortization
Period

Amount
Assigned at
Acquisition
Date

Customer relationships

7 years

Tradenames

11-13 years

137

Management agreements

10 years

Total identified intangible assets

247

The fair value of customer relationships and management agreements was determined using the Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method (MPEEM), a form of the Income Approach. The MPEEM is a specific application of the Discounted Cash Flow Method. The principle behind the MPEEM is that the value of an intangible asset is equal to the present value of the incremental cash flows attributable only to the subject intangible asset. This estimation used certain unobservable key inputs such as timing of projected cash flows, growth rates, expected contract renewal probabilities, discount rates, and the assessment of useful life.

The fair value of the tradenames was determined by using the Relief-from-Royalty Method, a form of the Income Approach, and relied on key unobservable inputs such as timing of the projected cash flows, growth rates, and royalty rates. The basic tenet of the Relief-from-Royalty Method is that without ownership of the subject intangible asset, the user of that intangible asset would have to make a stream of payments to the owner of the asset in return for the rights to use that asset. By acquiring the intangible asset, the user avoids these payments.

Supplemental pro forma information reflecting the impact of the Industrious acquisition is not provided as the acquisition did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations.

Turner & Townsend

In early January 2025, we completed the combination of our project management business with our Turner & Townsend subsidiary, whereby we contributed CBRE’s project management businesses in exchange for an additional 10% ownership interest in the combined project management business (the “Combined Project Management Business”). Upon completion of the transaction, CBRE holds a 70% controlling interest in the Combined Project Management Business.

As part of the combination agreement, CBRE granted to the Turner & Townsend partners an option to require CBRE to purchase additional shares in the Combined Project Management Business, which is exercisable during the period between January 1, 2027 and March 31, 2030 (the “Put Option”). The price payable to the Turner & Townsend Partners will be the fair value of the shares at the date the Put Option is exercised. As exercise of the Put Option is not solely in the control of the company, the interest in the Combined Project Management Business related to the Put Options has been classified as Mezzanine equity on our balance sheet per ASC 480-10-S99 “Distinguishing liabilities from Equity – SEC Materials.” The shares in the Combined Project Management Business subject to the Put Option were valued at $371 million as of March 31, 2025 and was estimated based on discounted forecasted cash flows for the business. We have elected to recognize changes in the redemption value as they occur by adjusting the amount of the redeemable shares to their redemption value at the end of each period.

4. Warehouse Receivables & Warehouse Lines of Credit

Our wholly-owned subsidiary CBRE Capital Markets, Inc. (CBRE Capital Markets) is a Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) approved Multifamily Program Plus Seller/Servicer and an approved Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) Aggregation and Negotiated Transaction Seller/Servicer. In addition, CBRE Capital Markets’ wholly-owned subsidiary CBRE Multifamily Capital, Inc. (CBRE MCI) is an approved Fannie Mae Delegated Underwriting and Servicing (DUS) Seller/Servicer and CBRE Capital Markets’ wholly-owned subsidiary CBRE HMF, Inc. (CBRE HMF) is a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) approved Non-Supervised Federal Housing Authority (FHA) Title II Mortgagee, an approved Multifamily Accelerated Processing (MAP) lender and an approved Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae) issuer of mortgage-backed securities (MBS). Under these arrangements, before loans are originated through proceeds from warehouse lines of credit, we obtain either a contractual loan purchase commitment from either Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae or a confirmed forward trade commitment for the issuance and purchase of a Fannie Mae or Ginnie Mae MBS that will be secured by the loans. The warehouse lines of credit are generally repaid within a one-month period when Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae buys the loans or upon settlement of the Fannie Mae or Ginnie Mae MBS, while we retain the servicing rights. Loans are funded at the prevailing market rates. We elected the fair value option for all warehouse receivables. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, all of the warehouse receivables included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets were either under commitment to be purchased by Freddie Mac or had confirmed forward trade commitments for the issuance and purchase of Fannie Mae or Ginnie Mae MBS that will be secured by the underlying loans.

A roll forward of our warehouse receivables is as follows (dollars in millions):


Beginning balance at December 31, 2024	$	561
Origination of mortgage loans	2,599
Gains (premiums on loan sales)	6
Proceeds from sale of mortgage loans:
Sale of mortgage loans	(1,970)
Cash collections of premiums on loan sales	(6)
Proceeds from sale of mortgage loans	(1,976)
Net increase in mortgage servicing rights included in warehouse receivables	2
Ending balance at March 31, 2025	$	1,192

The following table is a summary of our warehouse lines of credit in place as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (dollars in millions):

(3)Effective July 31, 2024, this facility was renewed with a maximum aggregate principal amount of $300 million, with an uncommitted $300 million temporary line of credit and a maturity date of July 15, 2025. The SOFR rate was adjusted to 1.25%. The SOFR adjustment rate remained at 0.10% with the extension. Effective October 30, 2024, the accordion option was used to temporarily increase the line from $300 million to $600 million until January 28, 2025. The accordion option was not renewed upon expiration.

(4)Effective May 22, 2024, this facility was renewed to May 21, 2025 and there were no changes to the SOFR rate or the SOFR adjustment rate at renewal.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we had a maximum of $1.2 billion of warehouse lines of credit principal outstanding.

5. Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)

We hold variable interests in certain VIEs primarily in our Real Estate Investments (REI) segment which are not consolidated as it was determined that we are not the primary beneficiary. Our involvement with these entities is in the form of equity co-investments and fee arrangements. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our maximum exposure to loss related to the VIEs that are not consolidated was as follows (dollars in millions):


	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
Investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries	$	194	$	192
Other current assets	18		13
Co-investment commitments	35		37
Maximum exposure to loss	$	247	$	242

6. Goodwill

We test each of our reporting units for goodwill impairment annually at October 1st, or upon a triggering event, in accordance with ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other.” As of January 1, 2025, we reorganized our business into four reportable segments (see Note 15 – Segments for further discussion). This changed the composition of our reporting units which resulted in the reallocation of goodwill from our Advisory Services and Global Workplace Solutions reportable segments to our newly created Building, Operations & Experience (BOE) and Project Management reportable segments as of January 1, 2025. Additionally, the change in composition of our reporting units was considered a triggering event requiring an interim goodwill impairment test as of January 1, 2025. We determined that no impairment existed as the estimated fair values of our reporting units were in excess of their respective carrying values, both before and after the reorganization.

7. Fair Value Measurements

FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” (Topic 820) defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Topic 820 also establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

•Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

•Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

There have been no significant changes to the valuation techniques and inputs used to develop the recurring fair value measurements from those disclosed in our 2024 Annual Report.

The following tables present the fair value of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (dollars in millions):

Fair value measurements for our available for sale debt securities are obtained from independent pricing services which utilize observable market data that may include quoted market prices, dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. treasury yield curve, trading levels, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the instrument’s terms and conditions.

The equity securities are generally valued at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation or, if no sales occurred on the valuation date, at the mean of the bid and ask prices on such date. The above tables do not include $148 million related to capital investments as of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, in certain non-public entities as they are non-marketable equity investments accounted for under the measurement alternative, defined as cost minus impairment. These investments are included in “Other assets, net” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The fair values of the warehouse receivables are primarily calculated based on locked-in purchase prices. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, all of the warehouse receivables included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets were either under commitment to be purchased by Freddie Mac or had confirmed forward trade commitments for the issuance and purchase of Fannie Mae or Ginnie Mae mortgage backed securities that will be secured by the underlying loans (see Note 4 – Warehouse Receivables & Warehouse Lines of Credit). These assets are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as a substantial majority of inputs are readily observable.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries at fair value using NAV were $405 million and $378 million, respectively, and investments at fair value using NAV which are not accounted for under the equity method were $21 million as of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. These investments fall under practical expedient rules that do not require them to be included in the fair value hierarchy and as a result have been excluded from the tables above.

The tables below present a reconciliation for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) (dollars in millions):

Net change in fair value, included in the table above, is reported in Net income as follows:


Category of Assets/Liabilities using Unobservable Inputs						Consolidated Financial Statements
Investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries						Equity income (loss) from unconsolidated subsidiaries
Other assets (liabilities)						Other income
Contingent consideration (short-term)						Accounts payable and accrued expenses
Contingent consideration (long-term)						Other liabilities

There were no asset impairment charges or other significant non-recurring fair value measurement adjustments recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Our financial instruments are as follows:

•Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash – These balances include cash and cash equivalents as well as restricted cash with maturities of less than three months. The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

•Receivables, less Allowance for Doubtful Accounts – Due to their short-term nature, fair value approximates carrying value.

•Warehouse Receivables – These balances are carried at fair value. The primary source of value is either a contractual purchase commitment from Freddie Mac or a confirmed forward trade commitment for the issuance and purchase of a Fannie Mae or Ginnie Mae MBS (see Note 4 – Warehouse Receivables & Warehouse Lines of Credit).

•Investments in Unconsolidated Subsidiaries – A portion of these investments are carried at fair value as discussed above. It includes our equity investment and related interests in both public and non-public entities. Our ownership of common shares in Altus Power, Inc. (Altus) is considered Level 1 and is measured at fair value using a quoted price in an active market. Certain non-controlling equity investments are considered Level 3. The valuation of Altus’ common shares and alignment shares is dependent on Altus’ public stock price, which can be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to various market conditions. As of March 31, 2025, transfer out activities from Level 3 represents the reclassification of our alignment shares in Altus from Level 3 to Level 2. On April 16, 2025, Altus was acquired by a third-party. As a result, the value ascribed to these shares at March 31, 2025 was based on the per share acquisition price and classified as Level 2 (see Note 8 – Investments in Unconsolidated Subsidiaries).

•Available for Sale Debt Securities – Primarily held by our wholly-owned captive insurance company, these investments are carried at their fair value.

•Equity Securities – Primarily held by our wholly-owned captive insurance company, these investments are carried at their fair value.

•Other Assets and Liabilities – Includes the fair value of the unfunded commitment related to a revolving facility designated as Level 3. Valuations are based on discounted cash flow techniques, for which the significant inputs are the amount and timing of expected future cash flows, market comparables and recovery assumptions.

•Derivative assets and liabilities – The fair value of cross-currency swaps reflects the net present value of expected payments and receipts under the swap agreement based on the market’s expectation of future spot foreign currency exchange rates. Additional inputs to the net present value calculation may include the contract terms, counterparty credit risk and discount rates. These are designated as Level 2.

•Contingent Consideration – The fair values of contingent consideration related to business acquisitions are estimated using Monte Carlo simulations or the probability-weighted present value of estimated future payments resulting from the achievement levels of financial targets.

•Short-Term Borrowings – The majority of this balance represents outstanding amounts under our warehouse lines of credit of our wholly-owned subsidiary, CBRE Capital Markets, our commercial paper program, and our revolving credit facilities. Due to the short-term nature and/or variable interest rates of these instruments, fair value approximates carrying value (see Note 4 – Warehouse Receivables & Warehouse Lines of Credit and Note 9 – Long-Term Debt and Short-Term Borrowings).

•Senior Term Loans and Senior Notes – The table below presents the estimated fair value and actual carrying value of our long-term debt (net of unamortized discount and unamortized debt issuance costs) as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (dollars in millions). The estimated fair value is determined based on dealers’ quotes (which falls within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy). The actual carrying value is presented net of unamortized debt issuance costs and discount (see Note 9 – Long-Term Debt and Short-Term Borrowings).


	Estimated Fair Value				Carrying Value
Financial instrument	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024		March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
Senior term loans	$	1,276	$	708	$	1,305	$	718

5.500% senior notes	513		509		496		496
2.500% senior notes	436		426		492		492

•Notes Payable on Real Estate – As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying value of our notes payable on real estate, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, was $208 million and $196 million, respectively. These borrowings have either fixed interest rates or floating interest rates at spreads added to a market index. Although it is possible that certain portions of our notes payable on real estate may have fair values that differ from their carrying values, based on the terms of such loans as compared to current market conditions, or other factors specific to the borrower entity, we do not believe that the fair value of our notes payable is significantly different than their carrying value.

We maintain credit facilities with third-party lenders, which we use for a variety of purposes. On July 10, 2023, CBRE Group, Inc., CBRE Services, Inc. (CBRE Services) and Relam Amsterdam Holdings B.V., a wholly-owned subsidiary of CBRE Services (Relam Borrower), entered into a new 5-year senior unsecured Credit Agreement (2023 Credit Agreement) maturing on July 10, 2028, which refinanced and replaced a prior credit agreement. The 2023 Credit Agreement provides for a senior unsecured term loan credit facility comprised of (i) tranche A Euro-denominated term loans in an aggregate principal amount of €367 million (Tranche A (Euro) Loans) and (ii) tranche A U.S. Dollar-denominated term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $350 million (Tranche A (USD) Loans), both requiring quarterly principal payments beginning on December 31, 2024 and continuing through maturity on July 10, 2028. The proceeds of the term loans under the 2023 Credit Agreement were applied to the repayment of all remaining outstanding senior term loans under the prior 2022 Credit Agreement, the payment of related fees and expenses and other general corporate purposes. We entered into a cross-currency swap to hedge the associated foreign currency exposure related to this transaction.

On March 13, 2025, CBRE Group, Inc., CBRE Services and Relam Borrower entered into Amendment No. 1 to the 2023 Credit Agreement, which provided for, among other things, the ability of Relam Borrower to obtain incremental commitments and loans under the 2023 Credit Agreement in an aggregate principal amount of $750 million (or the Euro equivalent). On March 14, 2025, CBRE Group, Inc., CBRE Services and Relam Borrower entered into Amendment No. 2 and Incremental Assumption Agreement to the 2023 Credit Agreement, pursuant to which Relam Borrower incurred incremental term loans (i) denominated in Euros in the aggregate principal amount of €425 million (Incremental Euro Term Loans) and (ii) denominated in U.S. Dollars in the aggregate principal amount of $125 million (Incremental USD Term Loans). The Incremental Euro Term Loans have the same terms applicable to, and constitute the same class as, the Tranche A (Euro) Loans, and the Incremental USD Term Loans have the same terms applicable to, and constitute the same class as, the Tranche A (USD) Loans under the 2023 Credit Agreement. The proceeds of the Incremental Euro Term Loans and the Incremental USD Term Loans were used for working capital and other general corporate purposes (including the partial repayment of borrowings under the commercial paper program), and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with entering into the amendments to the 2023 Credit Agreement.

Short-Term Borrowings

Revolving Credit Agreement

On August 5, 2022, we entered into a new 5-year senior unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement (the Revolving Credit Agreement). The Revolving Credit Agreement provides for a senior unsecured revolving credit facility available to CBRE Services with commitments in an aggregate principal amount of up to $3.5 billion and a maturity date of August 5, 2027. Borrowings bear interest at (i) CBRE Services’ option, either (a) a Term SOFR rate published by CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited for the applicable interest period or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the greatest of (1) the prime rate determined by Wells Fargo, (2) the federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1% and (3) the sum of (x) a Term SOFR rate published by CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited for an interest period of one month and (y) 1.00% plus (ii) 10 basis points, plus (iii) a rate equal to an applicable rate (in the case of borrowings based on the Term SOFR rate, 0.630% to 1.100% and in the case of borrowings based on the base rate, 0.0% to 0.100%, in each case, as determined by reference to our Debt Rating (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement). The applicable rate is subject to certain increases and/or decreases specified in the Revolving Credit Agreement linked to achieving certain sustainability goals.

The Revolving Credit Agreement requires us to pay a fee based on the total amount of the revolving credit facility commitment (whether used or unused). In addition, the Revolving Credit Agreement also includes capacity for letters of credit not to exceed $300 million in the aggregate.

The Revolving Credit Agreement also requires us to maintain a minimum coverage ratio of consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) to consolidated interest expense of 2.00x and a maximum leverage ratio of total debt less available cash to consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) of 4.25x (and in the case of the first four full fiscal quarters following consummation of a qualified acquisition (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement), 4.75x) as of the end of each fiscal quarter. In addition, the Revolving Credit Agreement also contains other customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. We were in compliance with the covenants under this agreement as of March 31, 2025.

As of March 31, 2025, no amount was outstanding under the revolving credit facility provided for by the Revolving Credit Agreement. No letters of credit were outstanding as of March 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2024, $132 million was outstanding under this revolving credit facility. Letters of credit are issued in the ordinary course of business and would reduce the amount we may borrow under this revolving credit facility.

Commercial Paper Program

On December 2, 2024, CBRE Services established a commercial paper program pursuant to which we may issue and sell up to $3.5 billion of short-term, unsecured and unsubordinated commercial paper notes with up to 397-day maturities, under the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Amounts available under the program may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed from time to time. Payment of the commercial paper notes is guaranteed on an unsecured and unsubordinated basis by CBRE Group, Inc. The program notes and the guarantee rank pari passu with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The proceeds from issuances under the program may be used for general corporate purposes. As of March 31, 2025, we had $1.6 billion in borrowings outstanding under our commercial paper program with a weighted average annual interest rate of 4.75%. As of December 31, 2024, we had $175 million in borrowings outstanding under our commercial paper program. At any point in time, the company intends to maintain available commitments under the Revolving Credit Agreement in an amount at least equal to the amount of the commercial paper notes outstanding.

Turner & Townsend Revolving Credit Facility

Turner & Townsend maintains a £120 million revolving credit facility pursuant to a credit agreement dated March 31, 2022, with an additional accordion option of £20 million, that matures on March 31, 2027. As of March 31, 2025, no amount was outstanding under this revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2024, $44 million (£35 million) was outstanding under this revolving credit facility.

Warehouse Lines of Credit

CBRE Capital Markets has warehouse lines of credit with third-party lenders for the purpose of funding mortgage loans that will be resold, and a funding arrangement with Fannie Mae for the purpose of selling a percentage of certain closed multifamily loans to Fannie Mae. These warehouse lines are recourse only to CBRE Capital Markets and related subsidiaries, based on the related deal type, which are secured by our related warehouse receivables. See Note 4 – Warehouse Receivables & Warehouse Lines of Credit for additional information.

For additional information regarding our long-term debt and short-term borrowings, see Note 11 – Long-Term Debt and Short-Term Borrowings to our Consolidated Financial Statements for fiscal year 2024, included in the 2024 Annual Report, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in this quarterly report.

10. Leases

We are the lessee in contracts for our office space tenancies, for leased vehicles, for office space in our flexible workspace solutions business, and for leases of land in our global development business. As it relates to service arrangements, we monitor these types of contracts to evaluate whether they meet the definition of a lease.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

We are a party to a number of pending or threatened lawsuits arising out of, or incident to, our ordinary course of business. We believe that any losses in excess of the amounts accrued as liabilities on our consolidated financial statements are unlikely to be significant, but litigation is inherently uncertain and there is the potential for a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements if one or more matters are resolved in a particular period in an amount materially in excess of what we anticipated.

In January 2008, CBRE MCI, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CBRE Capital Markets, entered into an agreement with Fannie Mae under Fannie Mae’s Delegated Underwriting and Servicing Lender Program (DUS Program) to provide financing for multifamily housing with five or more units. Under the DUS Program, CBRE MCI originates, underwrites, closes and services loans without prior approval by Fannie Mae, and typically, is subject to sharing up to one-third of any losses on loans originated under the DUS Program. CBRE MCI has funded loans with unpaid principal balances of $46.6 billion at March 31, 2025, of which $43.2 billion is subject to such loss sharing arrangements. CBRE MCI, under its agreement with Fannie Mae, must post cash reserves or other acceptable collateral under formulas established by Fannie Mae to provide for sufficient capital in the event losses occur. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, CBRE MCI had $165 million and $160 million, respectively, of letters of credit under this reserve arrangement and had recorded a liability of approximately $63 million as of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 for its loan loss guarantee obligation under such arrangement. Fannie Mae’s recourse under the DUS Program is limited to the assets of CBRE MCI, which assets totaled approximately $2.3 billion (including $696 million of warehouse receivables, which are pledged against warehouse lines of credit and are therefore not available to Fannie Mae) at March 31, 2025.

CBRE Capital Markets participates in Freddie Mac’s Multifamily Small Balance Loan (SBL) Program. Under the SBL Program, CBRE Capital Markets has certain repurchase and loss reimbursement obligations. We could potentially be obligated to repurchase any SBL loan originated by CBRE Capital Markets that remains in default for 120 days following the forbearance period, if the default occurred during the first 12 months after origination and such loan had not been earlier securitized. In addition, CBRE Capital Markets may be responsible for a loss not to exceed 10% of the original principal amount of any SBL loan that is not securitized and goes into default after the 12-month repurchase period. CBRE Capital Markets must post a cash reserve or other acceptable collateral to provide for sufficient capital in the event the obligations are triggered. As of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, CBRE Capital Markets had posted a $5 million letter of credit under this reserve arrangement.

Letters of credit

We had outstanding letters of credit totaling $286 million as of March 31, 2025, excluding letters of credit for which we have outstanding liabilities already accrued on our consolidated balance sheets related to our subsidiaries’ outstanding reserves for claims under certain insurance programs as well as letters of credit related to operating leases. The CBRE Capital Markets letters of credit totaling $170 million as of March 31, 2025 referred to in the preceding paragraphs represented the majority of the $286 million outstanding letters of credit as of such date. The remaining letters of credit are primarily executed by us in the ordinary course of business and expire at the end of each of the respective agreements.

Guarantees

We had guarantees totaling $193 million as of March 31, 2025, excluding guarantees related to pension liabilities, operating leases, consolidated indebtedness and other obligations for which we have outstanding liabilities already accrued on our consolidated balance sheets. The $193 million primarily represents guarantees executed by us in the ordinary course of business, including various guarantees of management and vendor contracts in our operations overseas, which expire at the end of each of the respective agreements.

In addition, as of March 31, 2025, we had issued numerous non-recourse carveout, completion and budget guarantees relating to development projects for the benefit of third parties. These guarantees are commonplace in our industry and are made by us in the ordinary course of our REI business. Non-recourse carveout guarantees generally require that our project-entity borrower not commit specified improper acts, with us potentially liable for all or a portion of such entity’s indebtedness or other damages suffered by the lender if those acts occur. Completion and budget guarantees generally require us to complete construction of the relevant project within a specified timeframe and/or within a specified budget, with us potentially being liable for costs to complete in excess of such timeframe or budget. While there can be no assurance, we do not expect to incur any material losses under these guarantees.

Performance and payment bonds

In the ordinary course of business, we are required by certain customers to provide performance and payment bonds for contractual commitments related to our projects. These bonds provide a guarantee to the customer that the company will perform under the terms of a contract and that we will pay our subcontractors and vendors. If we fail to perform under a contract or to pay our subcontractors and vendors, the customer may demand that the surety make payments or provide services

(Unaudited)

under the bond. We must reimburse the surety for expenses or outlays it incurs. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, outstanding performance and payment bonds approximated $798 million and $808 million, respectively.

Deferred and contingent consideration

The purchase price for our business acquisitions often includes deferred and contingent consideration. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had short-term deferred and contingent consideration of $204 million and $199 million, respectively, which was included within accounts payable and accrued expenses, and long-term deferred and contingent consideration of $109 million and $93 million, respectively, which was included within other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Indirect Taxes

The company is subject to indirect taxes, including sales and use tax in the United States and value-add tax in certain foreign jurisdictions in which it conducts business. The company had indirect tax liability totaling $93 million and $91 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Indirect tax liabilities are adjusted considering changing facts and circumstances, such as the closing of a tax examination, further interpretation of existing tax laws, or new tax laws. We are currently under audit in several jurisdictions. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 450, “Contingencies,” the company establishes accruals for contingencies, including uncertainties related to taxes not based on income, when the company believes it is probable that a loss has been incurred, and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

Other

An important part of the strategy for our REI segment involves co-investing our capital in certain real estate investments with our clients. For our investment funds, we generally co-invest a minority interest of the equity in a particular fund. As of March 31, 2025, we had aggregate future commitments of $183 million related to co-investment funds. Additionally, we make selective investments in real estate development projects on our consolidated account or co-invest with our clients with up to 50% of the project’s equity as a principal in unconsolidated real estate projects. We had unfunded capital commitments of $345 million and $54 million to consolidated and unconsolidated projects, respectively, as of March 31, 2025.

Also refer to Note 16 – Telford Fire Safety Remediation for the details relating to the provision.

12. Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes on a consolidated basis was $52 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to a benefit from income taxes of $29 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase of $81 million is primarily related to an increase in current year earnings and a prior year benefit for the reversal of unrecognized tax positions. Our effective tax rate increased to 21.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from (24.3)% for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 is different than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to the U.S. state taxes and favorable permanent book tax differences.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the company had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $352 million and $347 million, respectively. The increase of $5 million primarily relates to the accrual of gross unrecognized tax benefits.

13. Income Per Share and Stockholders’ Equity

The calculations of basic and diluted income per share attributable to CBRE Group, Inc. stockholders are as follows (dollars in millions, except share and per share data):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2025		2024
Basic Income Per Share
Net income attributable to CBRE Group, Inc. stockholders	$	163	$	126
Weighted average shares outstanding for basic income per share	300,288,602		305,808,212
Basic income per share attributable to CBRE Group, Inc. stockholders	$	0.54	$	0.41

Diluted Income Per Share
Net income attributable to CBRE Group, Inc. stockholders	$	163	$	126
Weighted average shares outstanding for basic income per share	300,288,602		305,808,212
Dilutive effect of contingently issuable shares	2,626,069		2,694,244
Weighted average shares outstanding for diluted income per share	302,914,671		308,502,456
Diluted income per share attributable to CBRE Group, Inc. stockholders	$	0.54	$	0.41

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, 299,767 and 631,095, respectively, of contingently issuable shares were excluded from the computation of diluted income per share because their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect.

On November 21, 2024, our board of directors authorized an additional $5.0 billion to our existing $4.0 billion share repurchase program (as amended, the 2024 program) bringing the total authorized amount under the 2024 program to a total of $9.0 billion as of March 31, 2025. The board also extended the term of the 2024 program through December 31, 2029. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we repurchased 3,061,972 shares of our common stock with an average price of $132.94 per share using cash on hand for an aggregate of $407 million under the 2024 program. As of March 31, 2025, we had approximately $5.4 billion of capacity remaining under the 2024 program. We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

14. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

We account for revenue with customers in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606). Revenue is recognized when or as control of the promised services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for those services.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

We had contract assets totaling $503 million ($411 million of which was current) and $489 million ($400 million of which was current) as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

We had contract liabilities totaling $403 million (all of which was current) and $375 million (all of which was current) as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized revenue of $100 million that was included in the contract liability balance at December 31, 2024. The majority of contract liabilities are recognized as revenue within 90 days.

15. Segments

In January 2025, we combined our project management business with our Turner & Townsend majority-owned subsidiary and created a fourth reportable segment, Project Management. In addition, on January 16, 2025, we acquired full ownership of Industrious, a provider of premium flexible workplace solutions and established a new business segment, BOE comprised of enterprise and local facilities management, property management and flexible workplace solutions.

In connection with the transactions described above, we reorganized our operations around and publicly report our financial results on four reportable segments – Advisory Services, Building Operations & Experience, Project Management and Real Estate Investments. We have recast prior period segment results to conform with the current presentation. In addition, we also have a “Corporate, other and eliminations” segment. Our Corporate segment primarily consists of corporate costs for leadership and certain other central functions. We track our strategic non-core equity investments in “other” which is considered an operating segment and reported together with Corporate as it does not meet the aggregation criteria for presentation as a separate reportable segment. These activities are not allocated to the other business segments. Corporate and other also includes eliminations related to inter-segment revenue.

Segment operating profit (SOP) is the measure reported to Robert Sulentic, CBRE’s Chair and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), who is our chief operating decision maker (CODM) for purposes of assessing performance and making decisions about allocating resources to each segment. The CODM uses SOP results compared to prior periods and previously forecasted amounts to assess performance and identify trends of ongoing operations within each segment. SOP excludes the impact of certain costs and charges that may obscure the underlying performance of our businesses and related trends, including restructuring charges and other costs incurred, which are outside the ordinary course of business. SOP represents earnings, inclusive of amounts attributable to non-controlling interests, before net interest expense, write-off of financing costs on extinguished debt, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and asset impairments. In addition, management excludes the following costs from SOP (“Other segment adjustments”):

•costs associated with efficiency and cost-reduction initiatives,

•charges related to indirect tax audits and settlements,

•carried interest incentive compensation expense (reversal) to align with the timing of associated revenue,

•costs incurred related to legal entity restructuring,

•integration and other costs related to acquisitions, and

•net results related to the wind-down of certain businesses.

There have been no significant changes to the measurement methods of expenses or methods of allocating expenses to segments during 2025.

The accompanying consolidated balance sheets include an estimated liability of approximately $206 million (of which $116 million was current) and $204 million (of which $102 million was current) as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, related to the remediation efforts. The small increase in the balance as of March 31, 2025 is due to the change in exchange rates less actual remediation costs and other direct costs incurred during the period.

The estimated remediation costs for in-scope buildings are subjective, highly complex and dependent on a number of variables outside of Telford Homes’ control. These include, but are not limited to, individual remediation requirements for each building, the time required for the remediation to be completed, cost of construction or remediation materials, availability of construction materials, potential discoveries made during remediation that could necessitate incremental work, investigation costs, availability of qualified fire safety engineers, potential business disruption costs, potential changes to or new regulations and regulatory approval. We will continue to assess new information as it becomes available during the remediation process and adjust our estimated liability accordingly.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) provides the reader with management’s perspective on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and certain other factors that may affect future results. The MD&A in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (Quarterly Report) for CBRE Group, Inc. for the three months ended March 31, 2025 should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K (2024 Annual Report) as well as the unaudited financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

In addition, the statements and assumptions in this Quarterly Report that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 or Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, each as amended, including, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies and prospects as well as estimates of industry growth for the next quarter and beyond. For important information regarding these forward-looking statements, please see the discussion below under the caption “Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements.”

Business Environment

The operating environment for commercial real estate improved in the first quarter of 2025, continuing the recovery that began in 2024. This was evident in real estate leasing, notably demand for office space in the U.S. Improved liquidity and investor sentiment also led to a continued increase in real estate sales and financing activity. Outsourcing services continued to gain favor with major corporations and other large occupiers of space, boosting demand for facilities and project management services. The business outlook, however, has been clouded by the extreme market volatility triggered by the imposition of sharply increased tariffs on U.S. trading partners and the rapid changes in U.S. trade policy. We continue to assess the impact of market volatility on our clients’ investment, occupancy and capital deployment decisions and on general economic growth in the U.S. and globally.

Capital Allocation

We repurchased approximately $407 million worth of shares in the first quarter and nearly $600 million this year through April 21, 2025, while maintaining substantial liquidity to finance future growth.

(1)Calculated as a percentage of Total Revenue

Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

We reported consolidated net income of $163 million for the quarter, on revenue of $8.9 billion as compared to consolidated net income of $126 million on revenue of $7.9 billion in the prior year.

The revenue increase reflected growth in leasing activity, particularly for office space, commercial mortgage origination, property sales, and continued growth in the Business, Operations & Experience (BOE) segment, which benefited from strong new business activity, contract expansions and acquisitions. Revenue from our Project Management segment increased driven by continued strong performance from Turner & Townsend and higher management fees. Revenue increased in the REI segment, driven by higher incentive fees.

Table of contents

Foreign currency translation had a 1.9% negative impact on revenue, reflecting the weakness in the euro, Canadian dollar and British pound sterling.

Cost of revenue increased 12.2% during the quarter as compared to the same period in 2024 due primarily to revenue growth consisting of higher pass-through costs, higher commission expense, and higher indirect reimbursed costs. Foreign currency translation had a 1.9% positive impact on total cost of revenue. Cost of revenue decreased slightly to 81.5% of total revenue from 81.6%.

Operating, administrative and other expenses increased 7.3% as compared to the same period in prior year. The increase was driven by an increase in third-party fees related to acquisitions and integrations activities. Foreign currency translation had a 1.8% positive impact on total operating expenses during the quarter. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 13.4% in the first quarter 2025 from 14.0% in the first quarter 2024, as operating expenses grew slower than revenue.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by 12.0% during the quarter, as compared to the same period in 2024, reflecting higher depreciation and amortization expense related to assets acquired from recent acquisitions such as Industrious and J&J Worldwide Services.

We reported equity income of $16 million in the current quarter versus equity loss of $58 million in last year’s first quarter. This was primarily driven by net unrealized gains related to equity investments recognized in the current period compared to unrealized equity losses in the prior quarter, driven by a fair value adjustment related to our non-core strategic equity investment in Altus Power, Inc. (Altus).

Interest expense, net of interest income, increased by 38.9%, compared with the first quarter 2024. This increase was primarily due to the impact of increased commercial paper borrowings and the issuance of senior term loans.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation & Development (OECD) Pillar Two Model Rules established a minimum global effective tax rate of 15% on country-by-country profits for large multinational companies. European Union member states along with many other countries adopted or expect to adopt the OECD Pillar Two Model effective January 1, 2024 or thereafter. The OECD and other countries continue to publish guidelines and legislation which include transition and safe harbor rules. We continue to monitor new legislative changes and assess the global impact of the Pillar Two Model Rules.

Segment Operations

In January 2025, we combined our project management business with our Turner & Townsend majority-owned subsidiary and created a fourth reportable segment, Project Management. In addition, on January 16, 2025, we acquired full ownership of Industrious, a provider of premium flexible workplace solutions, and established a new business segment, BOE, comprised of enterprise and local facilities management, property management and flexible workplace solutions.

In connection with the transactions described above, we organized our operations around, and publicly report our financial results on, four reportable business segments: (1) Advisory Services; (2) Building Operations & Experience (BOE); (3) Project Management; and (4) Real Estate Investments (REI).

Advisory Services provides a comprehensive range of services globally, including property leasing, capital markets (property sales and loan origination), loan servicing, property management, and valuation. BOE provides a broad suite of integrated, contractually based outsourcing services to occupiers and owners of real estate, including facilities management and property management. Our Project Management business delivers program management, project management and cost consultancy services across commercial real estate, infrastructure and natural resources sectors. REI is a major real assets developer, investor and operator and is comprised of two businesses: investment management and real estate development.

Table of contents

We also have a Corporate and Other segment. Corporate primarily consists of corporate overhead costs. Other consists of activities from strategic non-core non-controlling equity investments and is considered an operating segment but does not meet the aggregation criteria for presentation as a separate reportable segment and is, therefore, combined with Corporate and reported as Corporate and other. It also includes eliminations related to inter-segment revenue. For additional information on our segments, see Note 15 – Segments of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) set forth in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

(1)Calculated as a percentage of Total Revenue

Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

Revenue increased 13.4% during the quarter compared to the same period in 2024. Global leasing revenue rose 17.6%, driven by Americas which grew 21.4%, including 23.8% in the United States and the United Kingdom, which grew 9.3%. Property sales revenue was up 10.8%. Foreign currency translation had a 1.8% negative impact on total revenue during the quarter, primarily driven by weakness in the euro and Canadian dollar.

Cost of revenue increased 14.0%, primarily reflecting business growth and higher commission expense. Foreign currency translation had a 1.8% positive impact on total cost of revenue. Cost of revenue increased to 57.1% of total revenue from 56.8% for the same period in 2024, primarily due to escalating commission payouts driven by strong revenue growth.

Table of contents

Operating, administrative and other expenses increased by 2.9%, as compared to the same period in 2024, driven by higher marketing and software expense. Foreign currency translation had a 2.4% positive impact on total operating expenses.

In connection with the origination and sale of mortgage loans with servicing rights retained, we record servicing assets or liabilities based on the fair value of mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) on the date the loans are sold. Upon origination of a mortgage loan held for sale, the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights to be retained is included in the forecasted proceeds from the anticipated loan sale and results in a net gain (which is reflected in revenue). Our MSRs are initially recorded at fair value. Subsequent to the initial recording, MSRs are amortized in proportion to and over the period that the servicing income is expected to be received based on projections and timing of estimated future net cash flows and assessed for impairment based on the fair value each reporting period.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, MSRs contributed $22 million to operating income, offset by $35 million of amortization of related intangible assets. The MSR contribution to first quarter 2024 operating income was $13 million and amortization totaled $34 million. The increase was associated with higher origination activity given an increase in financing activities.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased 3.1% primarily due to higher amortization of mortgage servicing rights as described above.

(2)In early 2025, management made the decision to wind-down Telford Homes’ legacy construction business. A new Telford entity, Telford Living, is developing residential housing in the UK under a new business model under which the company does not self-perform general contracting.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

Revenue increased 2.2% for the current quarter primarily due to higher incentive fees in our investment management services line of business. Foreign currency translation had a 1.7% negative impact on total revenue during the quarter primarily driven by weakness in the euro and British pound sterling.

Cost of revenue increased 9.3% in the quarter as compared to the same period in 2024 due to higher construction costs incurred on our real estate development projects. Foreign currency translation had a negligible impact on total cost of revenue during the quarter.

Operating, administrative and other expenses decreased 12.2% primarily due to a decrease in variable incentive compensation in our investment management line of business. Foreign currency translation had a 1.6% positive impact on total operating expenses.

We recorded equity loss from unconsolidated subsidiaries of approximately $7 million versus equity income of $11 million in the first quarter 2024, primarily due to net negative co-investment returns in the current quarter. Gain on disposition of real estate decreased by $13 million compared with first quarter 2024.

A roll forward of our AUM by product type for the three months ended March 31, 2025 is as follows (dollars in billions):

Table of contents

AUM generally refers to the properties and other assets with respect to which we provide (or participate in) oversight, investment management services and other advice, and which generally consist of real estate properties or loans, securities portfolios and investments in operating companies and joint ventures. Our AUM is intended principally to reflect the extent of our presence in the real estate market, not to be the basis for determining our management fees. Our assets under management consist of:

•the total fair market value of the real estate properties and other assets either wholly-owned or held by joint ventures and other entities in which our sponsored funds or investment vehicles and client accounts have invested or to which they have provided financing. Committed (but unfunded) capital from investors in our sponsored funds is not included in this component of our AUM. The value of development properties is included at estimated completion cost. In the case of real estate operating companies, the total value of real properties controlled by the companies, generally through joint ventures, is included in AUM; and

•the net asset value of our managed securities portfolios, including investments (which may be comprised of committed but uncalled capital) in private real estate funds under our fund of funds investments.

Our calculation of AUM may differ from the calculations of other asset managers, and as a result, this measure may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other asset managers.

Corporate and Other

Our Corporate segment primarily consists of corporate overhead costs. Other consists of activities from strategic non-core non-controlling equity investments and is considered an operating segment but does not meet the aggregation criteria for presentation as a separate reportable segment and is, therefore, combined with our core Corporate function and reported as Corporate and other. The following table summarizes our results of operations for our core Corporate and other segment for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 (dollars in millions):

Core corporate

Operating, administrative and other expenses for our core corporate functions rose 43.0% to $183 million for the first quarter of 2025, mainly due to higher costs related to M&A deal and integrations.

Other (non-core)

We recorded equity income of $21 million, reflecting the higher value of our investment in publicly traded Altus. This compares with a $71 million loss in first-quarter 2024, reflecting the lower valuation of our investment in Altus. Altus was acquired by a third party on April 16, 2025.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We believe that we can satisfy our working capital and funding requirements with internally generated cash flow and, as necessary, borrowings under our revolving credit facilities and commercial paper program. Our expected capital requirements for 2025 include up to $381 million of anticipated capital expenditures, net of tenant concessions. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we incurred $64 million of capital expenditures. As of March 31, 2025, we had aggregate future commitments of $183 million related to co-investments funds in our REI segment, $63 million of which is expected to be funded in 2025. Additionally, as of March 31, 2025, we are committed to fund additional capital of $345 million and $54 million to consolidated and unconsolidated projects, respectively, within our REI segment. As of March 31, 2025, we had $2.1 billion of borrowings available under our revolving credit facilities (under both the Revolving Credit Agreement, as described below, and the Turner & Townsend revolving credit facility) and $1.4 billion of cash and cash equivalents. We intend to maintain available commitments under the Revolving Credit Agreement in an amount at least equal to the amount of commercial paper notes outstanding from time to time. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $1.6 billion and $175 million, respectively, in outstanding borrowings under the commercial paper program.

We have historically relied on our internally generated cash flow, our revolving credit facilities and commercial paper program to fund our working capital, capital expenditure and general investment requirements (including in-fill acquisitions) and have not sought other external sources of financing to help fund these requirements. In the absence of extraordinary events, large strategic acquisitions or large returns of capital to shareholders, we anticipate that our cash flow from operations, our revolving credit facilities and commercial paper program would be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for the foreseeable future, and at a minimum for the next 12 months. Given compensation is our largest expense and our sales and leasing professionals are generally paid on a commission and/or bonus basis that correlates with their revenue production, the negative effect of difficult market conditions is partially mitigated by the inherent variability of our compensation cost structure. We may seek to take advantage of market opportunities to refinance existing debt instruments, as we have done in the past, with new debt instruments at interest rates, maturities and terms we deem attractive. We may also, from time to time in our sole discretion, purchase, redeem, or retire our existing senior notes, through tender offers, in privately negotiated or open market transactions, or otherwise.

As noted above, we believe that any future significant acquisitions we may make could require us to obtain additional debt or equity financing. In the past, we have been able to obtain such financing for material transactions on terms that we believed to be reasonable. However, it is possible that we may not be able to obtain acquisition financing on favorable terms, or at all, in the future.

Our long-term liquidity needs, other than those related to ordinary course obligations and commitments such as operating leases, are generally comprised of the following elements. The first is the repayment of the outstanding and anticipated principal amounts of our long-term indebtedness. If our cash flow is insufficient to repay our long-term debt when it comes due, then we expect that we would need to refinance such indebtedness or otherwise amend its terms to extend the maturity dates. We cannot make any assurances that such refinancing or amendments would be available on attractive terms, if at all.

The second long-term liquidity need is the payment of obligations related to acquisitions. Our acquisition structures often include deferred and/or contingent purchase consideration in future periods that are subject to the passage of time or achievement of certain performance metrics and other conditions. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had accrued deferred purchase consideration totaling $313 million ($204 million of which was a current liability) and $292 million ($199 million of which was a current liability), respectively, which was included in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” and in “Other long-term liabilities” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets set forth in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Lastly, as described in Note 13 – Income Per Share and Stockholders’ Equity of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) set forth in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report, in November 2024, our Board of Directors (Board) authorized an additional $5.0 billion to our existing $4.0 billion share repurchase program (as amended, the 2024 program) bringing the total authorized amount under the 2024 program to a total of $9.0 billion as of March 31, 2025. The Board also extended the term of the 2024 program through December 31, 2029. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we repurchased 3,061,972 shares of our Class A common stock with an average price of $132.94 per share using cash on hand for an aggregate of $407 million. During the period April 1, 2025 through April 21, 2025, we repurchased 1,510,751 shares of our Class A common stock with an average price of $117.93 per share using cash on hand for an aggregate of $178 million. As of March 31, 2025 and April 21, 2025, we had $5.4 billion and $5.2 billion, respectively, of capacity remaining under the 2024 program.

Our stock repurchases have been funded with cash on hand and we intend to continue funding future repurchases with existing cash. We may utilize our stock repurchase programs to continue offsetting the impact of our stock-based compensation program and on a more opportunistic basis if we believe our stock presents a compelling investment compared to other discretionary uses. The timing of any future repurchases, and the actual amounts repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including the market price of our common stock, general market and economic conditions and other factors.

Historical Cash Flows

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities totaled $546 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $492 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The primary drivers that contributed to the increase in net cash used in operating activities were as follows: (1) working capital movements, driven by higher outflows related to accounts payable and accrued expenses due to the timing of payments, partially offset by (2) lower accounts receivable due to better collections which lagged during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and higher net cash flows from operations, driven by revenue growth.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $462 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, a decrease of $438 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower cash outflows from acquisitions in the current quarter (primarily consisting of the acquisition of Industrious), compared to the prior period when we acquired J&J Worldwide Services.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $1,256 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to $1,192 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increased cash inflow was primarily driven by net proceeds from the issuance of commercial paper and senior term loans, partially offset by cash paid to repurchase common stock and settlement of the amount outstanding on the revolving credit facility.

Table of contents

Indebtedness

We use a variety of financing arrangements, both long-term and short-term, to fund our operations in addition to cash generated from operating activities. We also use several funding sources to avoid becoming overly dependent on one financing source, and to lower funding costs.

Long-Term Debt

On July 10, 2023, CBRE Group, Inc., CBRE Services, Inc. (CBRE Services) and Relam Amsterdam Holdings B.V., a wholly-owned subsidiary of CBRE Services (Relam Borrower), entered into a new 5-year senior unsecured Credit Agreement (2023 Credit Agreement) maturing on July 10, 2028, which refinanced and replaced the previous credit agreement. The 2023 Credit Agreement provides for a senior unsecured term loan credit facility comprised of (i) tranche A Euro-denominated term loans in an aggregate principal amount of €367 million (Tranche A (Euro) Loans) and (ii) tranche A U.S. Dollar-denominated term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $350 million (Tranche A (USD) Loans) with weighted average interest rate of 4.4% as of March 31, 2025, both requiring quarterly principal payments beginning on December 31, 2024 and continuing through maturity on July 10, 2028. The proceeds of these term loans under the 2023 Credit Agreement were applied to the repayment of all remaining outstanding senior term loans, approximately $437 million, under the previous credit agreement, the payment of related fees and expenses and other general corporate purposes.

On March 13, 2025, CBRE Group, Inc., CBRE Services and Relam Borrower entered into Amendment No. 1 to the 2023 Credit Agreement, which provided for, among other things, the ability of Relam Borrower to obtain incremental commitments and loans under the 2023 Credit Agreement in an aggregate principal amount of $750 million (or the Euro equivalent). On March 14, 2025, CBRE Group, Inc., CBRE Services and Relam Borrower entered into Amendment No. 2 and Incremental Assumption Agreement to the 2023 Credit Agreement, pursuant to which Relam Borrower incurred incremental term loans (i) denominated in Euros in the aggregate principal amount of €425 million (Incremental Euro Term Loans) and (ii) denominated in U.S. Dollars in the aggregate principal amount of $125 million (Incremental USD Term Loans). The Incremental Euro Term Loans have the same terms applicable to, and constitute the same class as, the Tranche A (Euro) Loans, and the Incremental USD Term Loans have the same terms applicable to, and constitute the same class as, the Tranche A (USD) Loans under the 2023 Credit Agreement. The proceeds of the Incremental Euro Term Loans and the Incremental USD Term Loans were used for working capital and other general corporate purposes (including the partial repayment of borrowings under the commercial paper program) and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with entering into the amendments to the 2023 Credit Agreement.

The term loan borrowings under the 2023 Credit Agreement are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior basis by CBRE Group, Inc. and CBRE Services.

On February 23, 2024, CBRE Services issued $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.500% senior notes due April 1, 2029 (the 5.500% senior notes) at a price equal to 99.837% of their face value. The 5.500% senior notes are unsecured obligations of CBRE Services and are guaranteed on a senior basis by CBRE Group, Inc. Interest accrues at a rate of 5.500% per year and is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year.

On June 23, 2023, CBRE Services issued $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of 5.950% senior notes due August 15, 2034 (the 5.950% senior notes) at a price equal to 98.174% of their face value. The 5.950% senior notes are unsecured obligations of CBRE Services and are guaranteed on a senior basis by CBRE Group, Inc. Interest accrues at a rate of 5.950% per year and is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year.

On March 18, 2021, CBRE Services issued $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 2.500% senior notes due April 1, 2031 (the 2.500% senior notes) at a price equal to 98.451% of their face value. The 2.500% senior notes are unsecured obligations of CBRE Services and are guaranteed on a senior basis by CBRE Group, Inc. Interest accrues at a rate of 2.500% per year and is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year.

Table of contents

The indentures governing our 5.950% senior notes, 5.500% senior notes, 4.875% senior notes and 2.500% senior notes contain restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to create or permit liens on assets securing indebtedness, enter into sale/leaseback transactions and enter into consolidations or mergers.

Our 5.950% senior notes, 5.500% senior notes, 4.875% senior notes and 2.500% senior notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by CBRE Group, Inc.

For additional information on all of our long-term debt, see Note 11 – Long-Term Debt and Short-Term Borrowings of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements set forth in Item 8 included in our 2024 Annual Report and Note 9 – Long-Term Debt and Short-Term Borrowings of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) set forth in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Short-Term Borrowings

Table of contents

On December 2, 2024, CBRE Services established a commercial paper program pursuant to which we may issue and sell up to $3.5 billion of short-term, unsecured and unsubordinated commercial paper notes with up to 397-day maturities, under the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Amounts available under the program may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed from time to time. Payment of the commercial paper notes is guaranteed on an unsecured and unsubordinated basis by CBRE Group, Inc. The program notes and the guarantee will rank pari passu with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The proceeds from issuances under the program may be used for general corporate purposes. The company intends to maintain available commitments under the Revolving Credit Agreement in an amount at least equal to the amount of commercial paper notes outstanding from time to time. As of March 31, 2025, we had $1.6 billion in outstanding borrowings under the commercial paper program with a weighted average annual interest rate of 4.75%. As of April 21, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $2.0 billion and $175 million, respectively, in outstanding borrowings under the commercial paper program.

In addition, Turner & Townsend maintains a £120 million revolving credit facility pursuant to a credit agreement dated March 31, 2022, with an additional accordion option of £20 million, that matures on March 31, 2027. As of March 31, 2025, no amount was outstanding under this revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2024, $44 million (£35 million) was outstanding under this revolving credit facility.

For additional information on all of our short-term borrowings, see Note 5 – Warehouse Receivables & Warehouse Lines of Credit and Note 11 – Long-Term Debt and Short-Term Borrowings of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements set forth in Item 8 included in our 2024 Annual Report and Note 4 – Warehouse Receivables & Warehouse Lines of Credit and Note 9 – Long-Term Debt and Short-Term Borrowings of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) set forth in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

We also maintain warehouse lines of credit with certain third-party lenders. See Note 4 – Warehouse Receivables & Warehouse Lines of Credit of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) set forth in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Off –Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have off-balance sheet arrangements that we believe could have a material current or future impact on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations. Our off-balance sheet arrangements are described in Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) set forth in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report and are incorporated by reference herein.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. The estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and on other factors that we believe to be reasonable. Actual results may differ from those estimates. We believe that the following critical accounting policies represent the areas where more significant judgments and estimates are used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. A discussion of such critical accounting policies, which include revenue recognition, business combinations, goodwill and other intangible assets, income taxes, contingencies, and investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries – fair value option can be found in our 2024 Annual Report. There have been no material changes to these policies and estimates as of March 31, 2025.

New Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 – New Accounting Pronouncements of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) set forth in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Net revenue, segment operating profit on revenue margin, segment operating profit on net revenue margin, core EBITDA, core adjusted net income and core earnings per diluted share (or core EPS) are not recognized measurements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or 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. We generally use these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate operating performance and for other discretionary purposes. We believe 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 costs and charges that may obscure the underlying performance of our business and related trends. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of net revenue, core EBITDA, core adjusted net income and core EPS may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Net revenue is gross revenue less costs largely associated with subcontracted vendor work performed for clients and is passed through to the client generally with no margin. Segment operating profit on revenue margin is computed by dividing segment operating profit by revenue and provides a comparable profitability measure against our peers. Segment operating profit on net revenue margin is computed by dividing segment operating profit by net revenue and is a better indicator of the segment’s margin since it does not include the diluting effect of pass-through revenue which generally has no margin.

We use core EBITDA as an indicator of the company’s operating financial performance. Core EBITDA represents earnings before the portion attributable to non-controlling interests, net interest expense, write-off of financing costs on extinguished debt, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, asset impairments, adjustments related to carried interest incentive compensation expense to align with the timing of associated revenue, costs incurred related to legal entity restructuring, efficiency and cost-reduction initiatives, charges related to indirect tax audits and settlements, integration and other costs related to acquisitions, and net results related to the wind-down of certain businesses. We believe that investors may find this measure useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry because their calculations generally eliminate the effects of acquisitions, which would include impairment charges of goodwill and intangibles created from acquisitions, the effects of financings and income taxes and the accounting effects of capital spending.

Core EBITDA is not intended to be measures of free cash flow for our discretionary use because it does not consider certain cash requirements such as tax and debt service payments. This measure may also differ from the amounts calculated under similarly titled definitions in our credit facilities and debt instruments, which are further adjusted to reflect certain other cash and non-cash charges and are used by us to determine compliance with financial covenants therein and our ability to engage in certain activities, such as incurring additional debt. We also use core EBITDA as a significant component when measuring our operating performance under our employee incentive compensation programs.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The information in this section should be read in connection with the information on market risk related to changes in interest rates and non-U.S. currency exchange rates in Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our 2024 Annual Report.

Our exposure to market risk primarily consists of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations related to our international operations and changes in interest rates on debt obligations. We manage such risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of our debt funding and by using derivative financial instruments. We apply Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” when accounting for derivative financial instruments. In all cases, we view derivative financial instruments as a risk management tool and, accordingly, do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

International Operations

We conduct a significant portion of our business and employ a substantial number of people outside the U.S. As a result, we are subject to risks associated with doing business globally. Our Investment Management business has significant euro and British pound denominated assets under management (AUM), as well as associated revenue and earnings in Europe. In addition, our Building Operations & Experience (BOE) and Project Management business also derives significant revenue and earnings in foreign currencies, such as the euro and British pound sterling. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may continue to produce corresponding changes in our AUM, revenue and earnings.

Our foreign operations expose us to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. These fluctuations may impact the value of our cash receipts and payments in terms of our functional (reporting) currency, which is the U.S. dollar.

Our businesses could suffer from adverse effects of rapid and unpredictable changes to trade policy, disputes with countries that have close trading ties with the U.S., high interest rates, limited access to debt capital or liquidity constraints, downturns in general macroeconomic conditions, regulatory or financial market uncertainty, public health crises and geopolitical conflicts (or the perception that any such events may occur).

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, approximately 42.0% of our revenue was transacted in foreign currencies. The following table sets forth our revenue derived from our most significant currencies (dollars in millions):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2025				2024
United States dollar	$	5,170	58.0	%	$	4,423	55.7	%
British pound sterling	1,234		13.8	%	1,085		13.7	%
Euro	766		8.6	%	718		9.0	%
Canadian dollar	252		2.8	%	288		3.6	%
Indian rupee	214		2.4	%	178		2.2	%
Australian dollar	182		2.0	%	192		2.4	%
Japanese yen	125		1.4	%	126		1.6	%
Swiss franc	112		1.3	%	111		1.4	%
Chinese yuan	106		1.2	%	107		1.3	%
Singapore dollar	102		1.1	%	101		1.3	%
Other currencies (1)	647		7.4	%	606		7.8	%
Total revenue	$	8,910	100.0	%	$	7,935	100.0	%

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

(1)Approximately 46 currencies comprise 7.4% of our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and approximately 44 currencies comprise 7.8% of our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Although we operate globally, we report our results in U.S. dollars. As a result, the strengthening or weakening of the U.S. dollar will negatively or positively impact our reported results. A hypothetical 10% increase in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the British pound sterling during the three months ended March 31, 2025, would have decreased pre-tax income by $4 million. A hypothetical 10% increase in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the euro would have increased pre-tax income by $5 million. These hypothetical calculations estimate the impact of translating results into U.S. dollars and do not include an estimate of the impact that a 10% change in the U.S. dollar against other currencies would have had on our foreign operations.

Table of contents

Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may result in corresponding fluctuations in revenue and earnings as well as the assets under management for our investment management business, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. Due to the constantly changing currency exposures to which we are subject and the volatility of currency exchange rates, we cannot predict the effect of exchange rate fluctuations upon future operating results. In addition, fluctuations in currencies relative to the U.S. dollar may make it more difficult to perform period-to-period comparisons of our reported results of operations. Our international operations also are subject to, among other things, political instability and changing tax, trade and regulatory environments, which affect the currency markets and which as a result may adversely affect our future financial condition and results of operations. We routinely monitor these risks and related costs and evaluate the appropriate amount of oversight to allocate towards business activities in foreign countries where such risks and costs are particularly significant.

We manage our interest expense by using a combination of fixed and variable rate debt. We have entered into interest rate swap agreements to attempt to hedge the variability of future interest payments due to changes in interest rates.

The estimated fair value of our senior term loans was approximately $1.3 billion at March 31, 2025. Based on dealers’ quotes, the estimated fair values of our 5.950% senior notes, 5.500% senior notes, 4.875% senior notes and 2.500% senior notes were $1.0 billion, $513 million, $600 million and $436 million, respectively, at March 31, 2025.

We utilize sensitivity analyses to assess the potential effect on our variable rate debt. If interest rates were to increase 100 basis points on our outstanding variable rate debt as of March 31, 2025, the net impact of the additional interest cost would be a decrease of $7 million on pre-tax income for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires that we conduct an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, and we have a disclosure policy in furtherance of the same. This evaluation is designed to ensure that all corporate disclosure is complete and accurate in all material respects. The evaluation is further designed to ensure that all information required to be disclosed in our SEC reports is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures and recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods and in the manner specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer supervise and participate in this evaluation, and they are assisted by members of our Disclosure Committee. Our Disclosure Committee consists of our General Counsel, our Chief Accounting Officer, our Senior Officers of significant business lines and other select employees.

We conducted the required evaluation, and our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined by Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) were effective as of March 31, 2025 to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Open market share repurchase activity during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was as follows (dollars in millions, except per share amounts):


Period	Total Number of Shares Purchased	Average Price Paid per Share		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs	Approximate Dollar Value of Shares That May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs (1)
January 1, 2025 - January 31, 2025	1,885,655	$	131.36	1,885,655
February 1, 2025 - February 28, 2025	623,922	140.29		623,922
March 1, 2025 - March 31, 2025	552,395	130.05		552,395
	3,061,972	$	132.94	3,061,972	$	5,415

_______________________________

(1)In November 2024, our Board authorized an additional $5.0 billion to our existing $4.0 billion share repurchase program (as amended, the 2024 program) bringing the total authorized amount under the 2024 program to a total of $9.0 billion as of March 31, 2025. The Board also extended the term of the 2024 program through December 31, 2029. During the first quarter of 2025, we repurchased an aggregate of $407 million of our common stock under the 2024 program. The remaining $5.4 billion in the table represents the amount available to repurchase shares under the 2024 program as of March 31, 2025.

Our stock repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares. Under this program, shares may be repurchased in privately negotiated and/or open market transactions, including under plans complying with Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act. Our stock repurchases have been funded with cash on hand and we intend to continue funding future repurchases with existing cash. We may utilize our stock repurchase programs to continue offsetting the impact of our stock-based compensation program and on a more opportunistic basis if we believe our stock presents a compelling investment compared to other discretionary uses. The timing of any future repurchases and the actual amounts repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including the market price of our common stock, general market and economic conditions and other factors.
