2026 core EPS outlook raised to $7.60 to $7.80 from $7.30 to $7.60, reflecting more than 20% growth at midpoint of new range
“CBRE continued to generate strong financial results while making important strategic gains during the first quarter of 2026. Together, our three services segments – Advisory, Building Operations & Experience and Project Management – grew revenue by 20% and operating profit by nearly 30%. Additionally, profits from our data center land development program were delivered earlier in the year than anticipated,” said Bob Sulentic, CBRE’s chair and chief executive officer.
“We had strong growth from both our Resilient and Transactional Businesses during the quarter. Notably, our work related to infrastructure assets, consisting of the services we perform for data centers as well as power, telecom and transportation assets, among others, has become a source of significant profits and growth spanning all four business segments,” Mr. Sulentic added.

Revenue and segment operating profit increased by 22% (19% local currency) and 34% (35% local currency), respectively.
Global leasing revenue increased 20% (18% local currency) and was strong around the world. Asia-Pacific (APAC) was up 24% (22% local currency), led by Japan. In the U.S., leasing revenue rose 21%, driven by industrial, office and data centers.
Global property sales revenue increased 43% (39% local currency). The U.S. was up 64% as all major property types posted double-digit increases. APAC saw growth of 29% (26% local currency), paced by Japan.
Mortgage origination revenue rose 53% (same local currency) fueled by strong volumes from debt funds, and government-sponsored enterprises.
The loan servicing portfolio increased 5% for the quarter to more than $460 billion. Loan servicing revenue reflected a decline in escrow income tied to lower average interest rates, which masked underlying growth in the business.
Valuations revenue rose 9% (4% local currency), with double-digit growth in the U.S.

Facilities management revenue rose 17% (13% local currency). Local facilities management produced mid-teens revenue growth with strength across all global regions, led by the Americas. Enterprise facilities management revenue also grew by double digits, led by the technology, industrial and life sciences sectors.
Critical infrastructure services revenue increased 71% (65% local currency), including strong growth from Data Center Solutions and contributions from Pearce Services, acquired in November 2025.
Property management revenue rose 17% (14% local currency), aided by Industrious’ continued strong growth.
Operating leverage was driven by the reclassification of costs associated with leases for fleet vehicles from cost of services to depreciation and amortization.

Real Estate Development
Operating profit(8) exceeded expectations, totaling $145 million. The outperformance was driven by earlier-than-anticipated profits from the data center land program.
The portfolio of in-process projects and pipeline stood at $29.6 billion at the end of the first quarter.
Investment Management
Recurring asset management fees increased, reflecting higher net asset values. However, overall revenue was flat (down 6% local currency) due to sharply lower incentive fees compared with first-quarter 2025.
The absence of significant incentive fees and promote income resulted in lower operating profit(8) than in last year’s first quarter.
Assets under management (AUM) ended the first quarter at more than $155 billion, in line with the prior quarter’s level.
Core Corporate Segment
Core corporate operating loss increased by approximately $23 million for the quarter, driven by higher incentive compensation related to the company’s strong performance in 2025 as well as a change in the timing of certain expense recognition.
Capital Allocation Overview
Free Cash Flow – Free cash flow totaled nearly $1.7 billion for the 12 months ended March 31, 2026.
Stock Repurchase Program – Year-to-date (as of April 21), the company has repurchased nearly $540 million worth of shares.
Acquisitions and Investments – The company did not make any acquisitions during the first quarter.
Leverage and Financing Overview
Leverage – CBRE’s net leverage ratio (net debt(9) to trailing twelve-month core EBITDA) was 1.54x as of March 31, 2026, substantially below the company’s primary debt covenant of 4.25x. The net leverage ratio is computed as follows (dollars in millions):

Additional information concerning factors that may influence the company’s financial information is discussed under “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” and “Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, as well as in the company’s press releases and other periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The terms “core adjusted net income,” “core EBITDA,” “core EPS,” “business line operating profit (loss),” “net debt” and “free cash flow,” all of which CBRE uses in this press release, are non-GAAP financial measures under SEC guidelines, and you should refer to the footnotes below as well as the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section in this press release for a further explanation of these measures. We have also included in that section reconciliations of these measures in specific periods to their most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP for those periods.
Totals may not sum in tables in millions included in this release due to rounding.
Note: We have not reconciled the (non-GAAP) core earnings per share forward-looking guidance included in this release to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because this cannot be done without unreasonable effort due to the variability and low visibility with respect to costs related to acquisitions, carried interest incentive compensation and financing costs, which are potential adjustments to future earnings. We expect the variability of these items to have a potentially unpredictable, and a potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.
(1)
Resilient Businesses include facilities management, critical infrastructure services, property management, project management, loan servicing, valuations, other portfolio services and recurring investment management fees. Transactional Businesses include property sales, leasing, mortgage origination, carried interest and incentive fees in the investment management business, and development fees.
(2)
Local currency percentage change is calculated by comparing current-period results at prior-period exchange rates versus prior-period results.
(3)
Pass-through costs represent certain costs incurred associated with subcontracted third-party vendor work performed for clients. These costs are reimbursable by clients and the corresponding amounts owed are reflected within Revenue.
(4)
Core adjusted net income and core earnings per diluted share (or core EPS) exclude the effect of select items from U.S. GAAP net income and U.S. GAAP earnings per diluted share. Adjustments during the periods presented included non-cash amortization expense related to intangible assets attributable to acquisitions, interest expense related to indirect tax audits and settlements, impact of adjustments on non-controlling interest, the tax impact of adjusted items and strategic non-core investments, net non-cash mortgage servicing rights, integration and other costs related to acquisitions, carried interest incentive compensation expense to align with the timing of associated revenue, charges related to indirect tax audits and settlements, net results related to the wind-down of certain businesses, business and finance transformation, costs associated with efficiency and cost-reduction initiatives and net fair value adjustments on strategic non-core investments.
(5)
Core EBITDA represents earnings before the portion attributable to non-controlling interests, depreciation and amortization, asset impairments, net interest expense, write-off of financing costs on extinguished debt, income taxes, further adjusted for net non-cash mortgage servicing rights, integration and other costs related to acquisitions, carried interest incentive compensation (reversal) expense to align with the timing of associated revenue, charges related to indirect tax audits and settlements, net results related to the wind-down of certain businesses, impact of fair value non-cash adjustments related to unconsolidated equity investments, business and finance transformation, non-cash pension buy-out settlement loss, costs associated with efficiency and cost-reduction initiatives, net fair value adjustments on strategic non-core investments, and provision associated with Telford’s fire safety remediation efforts.
(6)
Free cash flow is calculated as cash flow provided by operations, plus gain on sale of real estate assets, less capital expenditures (reflected in the investing section of the consolidated statement of cash flows).
(7)
Segment operating profit (SOP) is the measure reported to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) for purposes of assessing performance and allocating resources to each segment. SOP represents earnings, inclusive of non-controlling interests, before net interest expense, write-off of financing costs on extinguished debt, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and asset impairments, as well as adjustments related to the following: net non-cash mortgage servicing rights, integration and other costs related to acquisitions, carried interest incentive compensation expense to align with the timing of associated revenue, charges related to indirect tax audits and settlements, net results related to the wind-down of certain businesses, business and finance transformation and costs associated with efficiency and cost-reduction initiatives.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The following measures are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under SEC guidelines:
(i)
Core net income attributable to CBRE Group, Inc. stockholders, as adjusted (which we also refer to as “core adjusted net income”)
(ii)
Core EBITDA
(iii)
Core EPS
(iv)
Business line operating profit/loss
(v)
Net debt
(vi)
Free cash flow
These measures are not recognized measurements under United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). When analyzing our operating performance, investors should use these measures in addition to, and not as an alternative for, their most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Our management generally uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate operating performance and for other discretionary purposes. The company believes these measures provide a more complete understanding of ongoing operations, enhance comparability of current results to prior periods and may be useful for investors to analyze our financial performance because they eliminate the impact of selected charges that may obscure trends in the underlying performance of our business. The company further uses certain of these measures, and believes that they are useful to investors, for purposes described below.
With respect to core EBITDA, core EPS, core adjusted net income, and business line operating profit/loss, the company believes that investors may find these measures useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry because their calculations generally eliminate the accounting effects of acquisitions, which would include impairment charges of goodwill and intangibles created from acquisitions, the effects of financings, income taxes and the accounting effects of capital spending. The presentation of core adjusted net income, excluding amortization of intangible assets acquired in business combinations, is useful to investors as a supplemental measure to evaluate the company’s ongoing operating performance. While amortization expense of acquisition-related intangible assets is excluded from core adjusted net income, the revenue generated from the acquired intangible assets is not excluded. All of these measures may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. In the case of core EBITDA, this measure is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for our management’s discretionary use because it does not consider cash requirements such as tax and debt service payments. The core EBITDA measure calculated herein may also differ from the amounts calculated under similarly titled definitions in our credit facilities and debt instruments, which amounts are further adjusted to reflect certain other cash and non-cash charges and are used by us to determine compliance with financial covenants therein and our ability to engage in certain activities, such as incurring additional debt. The company also uses segment operating profit and core EPS as significant components when measuring our operating performance under our employee incentive compensation programs.
With respect to free cash flow, the company believes that investors may find this measure useful to analyze the cash flow generated from operations and real estate investment and development activities after accounting for cash outflows to support operations and capital expenditures. With respect to net debt, the company believes that investors use this measure when calculating the company’s net leverage ratio.
With respect to core EBITDA, core EPS and core adjusted net income, the company believes that investors may find these measures useful to analyze the underlying performance of operations without the impact of strategic non-core equity investments that are not directly related to our business segments. These can be volatile and are often non-cash in nature.

Fourth-quarter GAAP net income was reduced by $279 million due to the non-cash impact of the buy-out of the Advisory pension plan in the U.K., which will result in future net cash savings, and an increased reserve for fire-safety remediation in the U.K. development business. Without these items, fourth quarter GAAP net income would have increased 43%.

Revenue and segment operating profit increased by 8% (7% local currency), and 4% (2% local currency), respectively.
Growth was underpinned by new real estate projects for hyperscalers in the U.S. and new infrastructure mandates in the U.K. public sector.
As expected, segment operating profit growth was tempered by a few unusual one-time expenses. The segment delivered healthy operating leverage for the full year.

Real Estate Development
Operating profit(8) increased 46% (47% local currency) to $179 million, driven by the monetization of data center sites in the U.S.
The portfolio of in-process projects and pipeline stood at $29 billion at year-end.
Investment Management
Revenue edged down 1% (3% local currency) to $155 million. The decline was driven by lower incentive fees. Recurring asset management fees were up 7% (5% local currency).
Operating profit(8) fell due to lower incentive fees and co-investment returns.
Assets under management (AUM) increased by more than $9 billion for all of 2025 to $155 billion.
Core Corporate Segment
Core corporate operating loss decreased by approximately $2 million for the quarter.
Capital Allocation Overview
Free Cash Flow – For full-year 2025, free cash flow totaled nearly $1.7 billion.

Safe Harbor and Footnotes
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding the economic outlook, the company’s future growth momentum, operations and business outlook. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the company’s actual results and performance in future periods to be materially different from any future results or performance suggested in forward-looking statements in this press release. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release and, except to the extent required by applicable securities laws, the company expressly disclaims any obligation to update or revise any of them to reflect actual results, any changes in expectations or any change in events. If the company does update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that it will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause results to differ materially include, but are not limited to: disruptions in general economic, political and regulatory conditions and significant public health events, particularly in geographies or industry sectors where our business may be concentrated; volatility or adverse developments in the securities, capital or credit markets, interest rate increases and conditions affecting the value of real estate assets, inside and outside the United States; poor performance of real estate investments or other conditions that negatively impact clients’ willingness to make real estate or long-term contractual commitments; cost and availability of capital for investment in real estate; foreign currency fluctuations and changes in currency restrictions, trade sanctions and import/export and transfer pricing rules; our ability to compete globally, or in specific geographic markets or business segments that are material to us; our ability to identify, acquire and integrate accretive businesses; costs and potential future capital requirements relating to businesses we may acquire; integration challenges arising out of companies we may acquire; increases in unemployment and general slowdowns in economic or commercial activity; trends in pricing and risk assumption for commercial real estate services; the effect of significant changes in supply/demand and capitalization rates across different property types; a reduction by companies in their reliance on outsourcing for their commercial real estate needs, which would affect our revenues and operating performance; client actions to restrain project spending and reduce outsourced staffing levels; our ability to further diversify our revenue model to offset cyclical economic trends in the commercial real estate industry; our ability to attract new user and investor clients; our ability to retain major clients and renew related contracts; our ability to leverage our global services platform to maximize and sustain long-term cash flow; our ability to continue investing in our platform and client service offerings; our ability to maintain expense discipline; the emergence of disruptive business models and technologies; negative publicity or harm to our brand and reputation; the failure by third parties to comply with service level agreements or regulatory or legal requirements; the ability of our investment management business to maintain and grow assets under management and achieve desired investment returns for our investors, and any potential related litigation, liabilities or reputational harm possible if we fail to do so; our ability to manage fluctuations in net earnings and cash flow, which could result from poor performance in our investment programs, including our participation as a principal in real estate investments; the ability of our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, CBRE Capital Markets, Inc. to periodically amend, or replace, on satisfactory terms, the agreements for its warehouse lines of credit; declines in lending activity of U.S. Government Sponsored Enterprises, regulatory oversight of such activity and our loan servicing revenue from the commercial real estate mortgage market; changes in U.S. and international law and regulatory environments (including relating to anti-corruption, anti-money laundering, trade sanctions, tariffs, currency controls and other trade control laws), particularly in Asia, Africa, Russia, Eastern Europe and the Middle East, due to the level of political instability in those regions; litigation and its financial and reputational risks to us; our exposure to liabilities in connection with real estate advisory and property management activities and our ability to procure sufficient insurance coverage on acceptable terms; our ability to retain, attract and incentivize key personnel; our ability to manage organizational challenges associated with our size; liabilities under guarantees, or for construction defects, that we incur in our development services business; our leverage under our debt instruments as well as the limited restrictions therein on our ability to incur additional debt, and the potential increased borrowing costs to us from a credit-ratings downgrade; our and our employees’ ability to execute on, and adapt to, information technology strategies and trends; cybersecurity threats or other threats to our information technology networks, including the potential misappropriation of assets or sensitive information, corruption of data or operational disruption; our ability to comply with laws and regulations related to our global operations, including real estate licensure, tax, labor and employment laws and regulations, fire and safety building requirements and regulations, as well as data privacy and protection regulations, sustainability matters, and the anti-corruption laws and trade sanctions of the U.S. and other countries; changes in applicable tax or accounting requirements; any inability for us to implement and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting; the effect of implementation of new accounting rules and standards or the impairment of our goodwill and intangible assets; and the performance of our equity investments in companies we do not control.
Additional information concerning factors that may influence the company’s financial information is discussed under “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” and “Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, as well as in the company’s press releases and other periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Such filings are available publicly and may be obtained on the company’s website at www.cbre.com or upon written request from CBRE’s Investor Relations Department at investorrelations@cbre.com.
The terms “core adjusted net income,” “core EBITDA,” “core EPS,” “business line operating profit (loss),” “net debt” and “free cash flow,” all of which CBRE uses in this press release, are non-GAAP financial measures under SEC guidelines, and you should refer to the footnotes below as well as the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section in this press release for a further explanation of these measures. We have also included in that section reconciliations of these measures in specific periods to their most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP for those periods.
Totals may not sum in tables in millions included in this release due to rounding.
Note: We have not reconciled the (non-GAAP) core earnings per share forward-looking guidance included in this release to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because this cannot be done without unreasonable effort due to the variability and low visibility with respect to costs related to acquisitions, carried interest incentive compensation and financing costs, which are potential adjustments to future earnings. We expect the variability of these items to have a potentially unpredictable, and a potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.
(1)
Resilient Businesses include facilities management, project management, loan servicing, valuations, other portfolio services, property management and recurring investment management fees. Transactional Businesses include property sales, leasing, mortgage origination, carry interest and incentive fees in the investment management business, and development fees.
(2)
Local currency percentage change is calculated by comparing current-period results at prior-period exchange rates versus prior-period results.
(3)
Pass-through costs represent certain costs incurred associated with subcontracted third-party vendor work performed for clients. These costs are reimbursable by clients and the corresponding amounts owed are reflected within Revenue.
(4)
Core adjusted net income and core earnings per diluted share (or core EPS) exclude the effect of select items from U.S. GAAP net income and U.S. GAAP earnings per diluted share. Adjustments during the periods presented included non-cash amortization expense related to intangible assets attributable to acquisitions, interest expense related to indirect tax audits and settlements, write-off of financing costs on extinguished debt, impact of adjustments on non-controlling interest, and the tax impact of adjusted items and strategic non-core investments, integration and other costs related to acquisitions, carried interest incentive compensation (reversal) expense to align with the timing of associated revenue, charges related to indirect tax audits and settlements, net results related to the wind-down of certain businesses, impact of fair value non-cash adjustments related to unconsolidated equity investments, business and finance transformation, non-cash pension buy-out settlement loss, costs associated with efficiency and cost-reduction initiatives, costs incurred related to legal entity restructuring, net fair value adjustments on strategic non-core investments, and provision associated with Telford’s fire safety remediation efforts.
(5)
Core EBITDA represents earnings before the portion attributable to non-controlling interests, depreciation and amortization, asset impairments, net interest expense, write-off of financing costs on extinguished debt, income taxes, further adjusted for integration and other costs related to acquisitions, carried interest incentive compensation (reversal) expense to align with the timing of associated revenue, charges related to indirect tax audits and settlements, net results related to the wind-down of certain businesses, impact of fair value non-cash adjustments related to unconsolidated equity investments, business and finance transformation, non-cash pension buy-out settlement loss, costs associated with efficiency and cost-reduction initiatives, costs incurred related to legal entity restructuring, net fair value adjustments on strategic non-core investments, and provision associated with Telford’s fire safety remediation efforts.
(6)
Free cash flow is calculated as cash flow provided by operations, plus gain on sale of real estate assets, less capital expenditures (reflected in the investing section of the consolidated statement of cash flows).
(7)
Segment operating profit (SOP) is the measure reported to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) for purposes of assessing performance and allocating resources to each segment. SOP represents earnings, inclusive of non-controlling interests, before net interest expense, write-off of financing costs on extinguished debt, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and asset impairments, as well as adjustments related to the following: integration and other costs related to acquisitions, carried interest incentive compensation (reversal) expense to align with the timing of associated revenue, charges related to indirect tax audits and settlements, net results related to the wind-down of certain businesses, the impact of fair value non-cash adjustments related to unconsolidated equity investments, business and finance transformation, non-cash pension buy-out settlement loss, costs associated with efficiency and cost-reduction initiatives, costs incurred related to legal entity restructuring, and provision associated with Telford’s fire safety remediation efforts.
(8)
Represents line of business profitability/losses, as adjusted.
(9)
Net debt is calculated as total debt (excluding non-recourse debt) less cash and cash equivalents.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The following measures are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under SEC guidelines:
(i)
Core net income attributable to CBRE Group, Inc. stockholders, as adjusted (which we also refer to as “core adjusted net income”)
(ii)
Core EBITDA
(iii)
Core EPS
(iv)
Business line operating profit/loss
(v)
Net debt
(vi)
Free cash flow
These measures are not recognized measurements under United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). When analyzing our operating performance, investors should use these measures in addition to, and not as an alternative for, their most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Our management generally uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate operating performance and for other discretionary purposes. The company believes these measures provide a more complete understanding of ongoing operations, enhance comparability of current results to prior periods and may be useful for investors to analyze our financial performance because they eliminate the impact of selected charges that may obscure trends in the underlying performance of our business. The company further uses certain of these measures, and believes that they are useful to investors, for purposes described below.
With respect to core EBITDA, core EPS, core adjusted net income, and business line operating profit/loss, the company believes that investors may find these measures useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry because their calculations generally eliminate the accounting effects of acquisitions, which would include impairment charges of goodwill and intangibles created from acquisitions, the effects of financings, income taxes and the accounting effects of capital spending. The presentation of core adjusted net income, excluding amortization of intangible assets acquired in business combinations, is useful to investors as a supplemental measure to evaluate the company’s ongoing operating performance. While amortization expense of acquisition-related intangible assets is excluded from core adjusted net income, the revenue generated from the acquired intangible assets is not excluded. All of these measures may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. In the case of core EBITDA, this measure is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for our management’s discretionary use because it does not consider cash requirements such as tax and debt service payments. The core EBITDA measure calculated herein may also differ from the amounts calculated under similarly titled definitions in our credit facilities and debt instruments, which amounts are further adjusted to reflect certain other cash and non-cash charges and are used by us to determine compliance with financial covenants therein and our ability to engage in certain activities, such as incurring additional debt. The company also uses segment operating profit and core EPS as significant components when measuring our operating performance under our employee incentive compensation programs.
With respect to free cash flow, the company believes that investors may find this measure useful to analyze the cash flow generated from operations and real estate investment and development activities after accounting for cash outflows to support operations and capital expenditures. With respect to net debt, the company believes that investors use this measure when calculating the company’s net leverage ratio.
With respect to core EBITDA, core EPS and core adjusted net income, the company believes that investors may find these measures useful to analyze the underlying performance of operations without the impact of strategic non-core equity investments that are not directly related to our business segments. These can be volatile and are often non-cash in nature.
