“We ended 2023 on a high note with fourth quarter year-over-year operating profit growth across all three of our business segments,” said Bob Sulentic, CBRE’s chair and chief executive officer.

“Even though 2023 was a difficult year for commercial real estate, we delivered the third-highest full-year earnings in CBRE’s history, as our resilient businesses(6) continued their strong growth. This partly offset market-driven revenue declines in businesses that are sensitive to interest rates and debt availability,” he continued.

For 2024, CBRE expects to achieve core earnings-per-share of $4.25 to $4.65, implying mid-teens percentage growth at the midpoint of the range.

Property Leasing
•Global leasing revenue edged up 1% (flat local currency), slightly above expectations, driven by growth overseas.
•Leasing revenue grew 7% (1% local currency) in Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA), paced by a handful of Continental European countries.
•Asia-Pacific (APAC) leasing revenue growth of 2% (4% local currency) was led by robust increases in Japan and India.
•Americas leasing revenue was flat, as large office deals in Canada offset modestly lower U.S. activity.
•Globally, higher office leasing revenue offset a slight decline in industrial activity.

Capital Markets
•Global sales revenue declined 19% (20% local currency), in line with expectations amid a challenging real estate capital markets environment.
•In the Americas, sales revenue fell 22% (same local currency), while EMEA declined 16% (20% local currency) and APAC fell 12% (10% local currency).
•Sales revenue declines were less pronounced in industrial and retail than in multifamily and office, supported by healthier fundamentals.
•Mortgage origination revenue rose 23% (same local currency), attributable to interest earnings on escrow balances.

Note: all percent changes cited are vs. fourth-quarter 2022, except where noted.

•Project management net revenue rose 11% (9% local currency), led by the continued expansion of Turner & Townsend’s large-scale program management work globally.
•The pipeline going into 2024 remains elevated and significantly above year-earlier levels, notably driven by industrial & logistics and financial & professional services.

Real Estate Development
•Global development operating profit (9) totaled $27.0 million, compared with a U.K.-driven loss in last year’s fourth quarter. The current quarter result exceeded expectations, due to the earlier-than-anticipated monetization of several U.S. assets.
•The in-process portfolio ended 2023 at $15.8 billion, up $0.4 billion from third-quarter 2023.

Investment Management
•Total revenue increased 11% (8% local currency), driven by higher incentive fees. Asset management fees rose 4% (1% local currency).
•Operating profit surged 76% (72% local currency) to $41.7 million, reflecting the higher incentive fees and recurring asset management fees.
•Assets Under Management (AUM) totaled $147.5 billion, an increase of $3.3 billion from third-quarter 2023. The increase was primarily driven by favorable foreign currency movement, along with modest net capital inflows, which offset lower private asset values.



CBRE Press Release
February 15, 2024

Corporate and Other Segment
•Non-core profit totaled $76 million, primarily due to an improvement in the value of CBRE’s investment in Altus Power, Inc. (NYSE:AMPS), whose share price increased during the quarter.
•Core corporate operating loss increased by roughly $16 million (15%), with lower incentive compensation expense being outweighed by a change in the timing of certain expense recognition and cost transfers from the business segments.
Capital Allocation Overview
•Free Cash Flow – During the fourth quarter, free cash flow was $759 million. This reflected cash provided by operating activities of $853 million, less total capital expenditures of $94 million.(10)
•Stock Repurchase Program – The company repurchased approximately 0.3 million shares for $19.6 million ($68.69 average price per share) during the fourth quarter. There was approximately $1.5 billion of capacity remaining under the company’s authorized stock repurchase program as of year-end 2023.
•Acquisitions and Investments – During the fourth quarter, CBRE completed five in-fill acquisitions, four in Advisory Services and one in REI, totaling $111 million in cash and non-cash consideration. The company’s planned acquisition of J&J Worldwide Services, announced on February 5, 2024, is expected to close in the coming months. CBRE will acquire J&J, a leading provider of engineering services, base support operations and facilities maintenance for the U.S. federal government, for $800 million in cash, plus a potential earn-out of up to $250 million, payable in 2027, subject to the acquired business meeting certain performance thresholds.
Leverage and Financing Overview
•Leverage – CBRE’s net leverage ratio (net debt (11) to trailing twelve-month Core EBITDA) was 0.71x as of December 31, 2023, which is substantially below the company’s primary debt covenant of 4.25x. The net leverage ratio is computed as follows (dollars in millions):
As of
December 31, 2023
Total debt $ 2,830 
Less: Cash (12)
1,265 
Net debt (11)
$ 1,565 
Divided by: Trailing twelve-month Core EBITDA $ 2,209 
Net leverage ratio 0.71x

•Liquidity – As of year-end 2023, the company had approximately $4.9 billion of total liquidity, consisting of approximately $1.3 billion in cash, plus the ability to borrow an aggregate of approximately $3.7 billion under its revolving credit facilities, net of any outstanding letters of credit.

The terms “net revenue,” “core adjusted net income,” “core EBITDA,” “core EPS,” “business line operating profit (loss),” “segment operating profit on revenue margin,” “segment operating profit on net revenue margin,” “net debt” and “free cash flow,” all of which CBRE uses in this press release, are non-GAAP financial measures under SEC guidelines, and you should refer to the footnotes below as well as the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section in this press release for a further explanation of these measures. We have also included in that section reconciliations of these measures in specific periods to their most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP for those periods.
Totals may not sum in tables in millions included in this release due to rounding.
Note: We have not reconciled the (non-GAAP) core earnings per share forward-looking guidance included in this release to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because this cannot be done without unreasonable effort due to the variability and low visibility with respect to costs related to acquisitions, carried interest incentive compensation and financing costs, which are potential adjustments to future earnings. We expect the variability of these items to have a potentially unpredictable, and a potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.
(1)Local currency percentage change is calculated by comparing current-period results at prior-period exchange rates versus prior-period results.
(2)Net revenue is gross revenue less costs largely associated with subcontracted vendor work performed for clients. These costs are reimbursable by clients and generally have no margin.



CBRE Press Release
February 15, 2024
Page 8
(3)Core adjusted net income and core earnings per diluted share (or core EPS) exclude the effect of select items from GAAP net income and GAAP earnings per diluted share as well as adjust the provision for income taxes and impact on non-controlling interest for such charges. Adjustments during the periods presented included non-cash depreciation and amortization expense related to certain assets attributable to acquisitions and restructuring activities, certain carried interest incentive compensation (reversal) expense to align with the timing of associated revenue, the impact of fair value adjustments to real estate assets acquired in the acquisition of Telford Homes plc in 2019 (the Telford acquisition) (purchase accounting) that were sold in the period, costs incurred related to legal entity restructuring, write-off of financing costs on extinguished debt, integration and other costs related to acquisitions, asset impairments, provision associated with Telford’s fire safety remediation efforts, costs associated with efficiency and cost-reduction initiatives, and a one-time gain associated with remeasuring an investment in an unconsolidated subsidiary to fair value as of the date the remaining controlling interest was acquired. It also removes the fair value changes and related tax impact of certain strategic non-core non-controlling equity investments that are not directly related to our business segments (including venture capital “VC” related investments).
(4)Core EBITDA represents earnings, inclusive of non-controlling interest, before net interest expense, write-off of financing costs on extinguished debt, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, asset impairments, adjustments related to certain carried interest incentive compensation expense (reversal) to align with the timing of associated revenue, fair value adjustments to real estate assets acquired in the Telford acquisition (purchase accounting) that were sold in the period, costs incurred related to legal entity restructuring, integration and other costs related to acquisitions, provision associated with Telford’s fire safety remediation efforts, costs associated with efficiency and cost-reduction initiatives, and a one-time gain associated with remeasuring an investment in an unconsolidated subsidiary to fair value as of the date the remaining controlling interest was acquired. It also removes the fair value changes, on a pre-tax basis, of certain strategic non-core non-controlling equity investments that are not directly related to our business segments (including venture capital “VC” related investments).
(5)Free cash flow is calculated as cash flow provided by operations, less capital expenditures (reflected in the investing section of the consolidated statement of cash flows).
(6)Resilient businesses include the entire Global Workplace Solutions segment, loan servicing, valuation, property management, and recurring asset management fees in the investment management business.
(7)Segment operating profit is the measure reported to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to each segment and assessing performance of each segment. Segment operating profit represents earnings, inclusive of non-controlling interest, before net interest expense, write-off of financing costs on extinguished debt, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and asset impairments, as well as adjustments related to the following: certain carried interest incentive compensation expense (reversal) to align with the timing of associated revenue, fair value adjustments to real estate assets acquired in the Telford acquisition (purchase accounting) that were sold in the period, costs incurred related to legal entity restructuring, integration and other costs related to acquisitions, provision associated with Telford’s fire safety remediation efforts, costs associated with efficiency and cost-reduction initiatives, and a one-time gain associated with remeasuring an investment in an unconsolidated subsidiary to fair value as of the date the remaining controlling interest was acquired.
(8)Segment operating profit on revenue and net revenue margins represent segment operating profit divided by revenue and net revenue, respectively.
(9)Represents line of business profitability/losses, as adjusted.
(10)For the three months ended December 31, 2023, the company incurred capital expenditures of $93.8 million (reflected in the investing section of the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows) and received tenant concessions from landlords of $4.0 million (reflected in the operating section of the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows).
(11)Net debt is calculated as total debt (excluding non-recourse debt) less cash and cash equivalents.
(12)Cash represents cash and cash equivalents (excluding restricted cash).

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



CBRE Press Release
February 15, 2024

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