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
2024 Annual Report

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 Generally 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.

New Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
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 is 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. We adopted ASU 2023-09 prospectively in the first quarter of 2025 and will include the required disclosures in our annual consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption
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 anticipate ASU 2024-03 will result in expanded disclosures related to our income statement expenses.
In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, “
Business Combination (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity.
” This ASU requires public business entities to assess which entity is the accounting acquirer for a business combination that is effected primarily by exchanging equity interest in which a Variable Interest Entity (VIE) is acquired. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. These requirements should be applied on a prospective basis to any transaction that occurs after the initial application date. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2025-03 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, “
Credit Losses
(
Topic 326): Financial Instruments.
” This ASU provides a practical expedient to assume current economic conditions will not change for the remaining life of an asset when preparing forecasts as part of estimating expected credit losses. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted and should be applied on a prospective basis if the practical expedient is elected. We are evaluating the impact that ASU 2025-05 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, “
Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Internal-use Software.
” This ASU removes all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages (referred to as “project stages”) throughout Subtopic 350-40 and requires the capitalization of software costs to begin when 1) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and 2) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. These requirements should be applied using a prospective, modified transition, or retrospective approach. We are evaluating the impact that ASU 2025-06 will have on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07, “
Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract.
” This ASU excludes from derivative accounting non-exchange-traded contracts with underlyings based on operations or activities specific to one of the parties to the contract. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. These requirements may be applied prospectively or on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2025-07 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Acquisitions
Industrious
On January 16, 2025, we acquired the remaining
60
% ownership interest that we did not already own 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 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 $
392
million is deductible for tax purposes.
The acquired assets and assumed liabilities of Industrious were recorded at their estimated fair values. The 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 fair values assigned to the identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date on January 16, 2025 (dollars in millions):

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 Option 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 $
409
million as of September 30, 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.
Other acquisitions
During the nine months ended
September 30, 2025, the company completed
two
in-fill business acquisitions, including
one
in the Advisory Services segment and
one
in the Project Management segment, with an aggregate purchase price of approximately $
31
million in cash and non-cash consideration. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are primarily working capital in nature. The results of operations of all acquisitions completed during the nine months ended
September 30, 2025 have been included in the company’s consolidated financial results since their respective acquisition dates. These acquisitions were

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 September 30, 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.

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 September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our maximum exposure to loss related to the VIEs that are not consolidated was as follows (dollars in millions):

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 16 – 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 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.

Beginning goodwill balance is presented net of prior accumulated impairment losses of $
673
million, $

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 September 30, 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 $
147
million and $
148
million related to capital investments as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively in certain non-public entities as they are non-marketable equity investments accounted for under the measurement alternative, which are measured at cost, with fair value adjustments for observable market transactions, minus impairment. These investments are included in “Other assets” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
The fair values of the warehouse receivables are primarily calculated based on locked-in purchase prices. At September 30, 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 September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries at fair value using NAV were $
414
million and $
378
million, respectively, and investments at fair value using NAV which are not accounted for under the equity method were $
22
million and $
21
million, 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.

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. 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 and as a result we no longer hold any shares in Altus.

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 financial instruments are designated as Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy. See Note 8 – Derivatives and Hedging Activities.
•
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 10 – 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 September 30, 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 10 – Long-Term Debt and Short-Term Borrowings).

Notes Payable on Real Estate
– As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying value of our notes payable on real estate, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, was $
177
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.

Derivatives and Hedging Activities
We use fixed to fixed and float to float cross-currency swaps to hedge our exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates on certain foreign investments as well as foreign currency denominated loans. These swaps are designated as either fair value or net investment hedges. Derivative financial instruments that are not designated as hedges were immaterial as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
We are exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance of counterparties, and we manage our exposure to credit risk by selecting major global banks and financial institutions as counterparties and monitoring their credit ratings on an on-going basis. We do not enter into derivative transactions for trading or speculative purposes. Certain of these contracts are subject to a credit support annex (CSA) establishing thresholds for posting collateral at certain future dates. There are currently no requirements for the company to post collateral.
None of our derivative transactions are subject to master netting arrangements that allow net settlement of contracts with the same counterparties.
The following table summarizes the fair value of outstanding cross-currency swaps as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (dollars in millions):
(1)
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the gross notional amount of currency swaps designated as fair value hedges was $
479
million and $
346
million, respectively; and the gross notional amount of currency swaps designated as net investment hedges was $
3.7
billion and $
1.0
billion, respectively.
Fair value hedges
On July 10, 2023 and March 14, 2025, we entered into cross-currency swaps, designated as fair value hedges, to manage foreign currency exposure from the Tranche A (USD) Term Loans and Incremental USD Term Loans entered into by Relam Amsterdam Holdings B.V., which has a Euro functional currency (see Note 10 – Long-Term Debt and Short-Term Borrowings). As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the total principal outstanding balance of the loans was $
453
million, $
24
million of which was current, and $
346
million, $
17
million of which was current, respectively. The swaps have an aggregate notional value of $
453
million and $
346
million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and will mature on July 10, 2028.
We also entered into
two
additional cross-currency swaps designated as fair value hedges to manage foreign currency exposure related to intercompany loans. The total notional amount of the swaps as of September 30, 2025 was $
26
million.
We measure the effectiveness of fair value hedges on a spot-to-spot basis. Accordingly, the spot-to-spot change in the derivative fair values are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. The fair value hedges offset the spot-to-spot change in the underlying loans, and as such, these hedges are deemed highly effective.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
The gains and losses on the fair value hedges outstanding resulting from the change in foreign currency rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were gains of $
1
million and losses of $
49
million, respectively, and recorded in operating, administrative, and other on the consolidated statements of operations. These losses were offset by foreign currency transaction gains on the hedged loans resulting in
no
net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. Additionally, gains of $
2
million and $
5
million were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL) and recognized in interest expense, net of interest income on the consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. Gains and losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 were immaterial.
Net investment hedges
During the third quarter of 2025 and during 2024, we entered into cross-currency swaps, designated as net investment hedges, to manage our foreign currency exposure to net investments of a USD subsidiary’s investment in Japanese Yen and Euro functional currency foreign subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the total notional amount of these swaps was $
1.2
billion and $
1.0
billion, respectively. The swaps will mature between 2026 and 2034.
During the second quarter of 2025, a GBP denominated subsidiary of the company entered cross-currency swap agreements, designated as net investment hedges, to manage its foreign currency exposure to a EUR denominated subsidiary. The total notional amount of the swaps was £
1.9
billion, £
0.7
billion of which was scheduled to mature on February 15, 2040, and £
1.2
billion of which was scheduled to mature on February 15, 2045.
We subsequently amended the critical terms of the swaps to extend the maturity dates to August 15, 2040 and August 15, 2045.
The following table summarizes the impact of the outstanding net investment hedges in AOCL and the pre-tax impact on the consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 (dollars in millions):

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. See Note 8 – Derivatives and Hedging Activities.
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. On June 24, 2025, CBRE Group, Inc., CBRE Services and Relam Borrower entered into Amendment No. 3 to the 2023 Credit Agreement, for the purpose of, among other things, amending the financial covenants to remove the

Borrowings denominated in euros under the 2023 Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to (i) the applicable percentage plus (ii) at our option, either (1) the EURIBOR rate for the applicable interest period or (2) a rate determined by reference to Daily Simple Euro Short-Term Rate (ESTR). Borrowings denominated in U.S. dollars under the 2023 Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to (i) the applicable percentage, plus (ii) at our option, either (1) a Term SOFR rate published by CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited for the applicable interest period plus

887
million of euro term loan borrowings outstanding under the 2023 Credit Agreement (at an interest rate of
1.25

We are the lessee in contracts for our office space tenancies, for leased vehicles, for office space in our flexible workplace solutions business, Industrious, 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.
Supplemental balance sheet information related to our leases is as follows (dollars in millions):
(1)
Increase in right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 primarily relates to Industrious acquisition.
(2)
The non-cash activity in the right-of-use assets resulted from lease modifications/remeasurements and terminations

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 $
48.4
billion at September 30, 2025, of which $
45.3
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 September 30, 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 $
68
million and $
63
million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, 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 $
1.6
billion (including $
972
million of warehouse receivables, which are pledged against warehouse lines of credit and are therefore not available to Fannie Mae) at September 30, 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 September 30, 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 $
347
million as of September 30, 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 September 30, 2025 referred to in the preceding paragraphs are included in the $
347
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 $
189
million as of September 30, 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 $
189
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 September 30, 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 under the bond. We must reimburse the surety for expenses or outlays it incurs. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, outstanding performance and payment bonds approximated $
968
million and $
808
million, respectively.
Deferred and contingent consideration
The purchase price for our business acquisitions often includes deferred and contingent consideration. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had short-term deferred and contingent consideration of $
234
million and $
199
million, respectively, which was included within accounts payable and accrued expenses, and long-term deferred and contingent consideration of $
105
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 liabilities primarily related to sales and use tax of $
94
million and $
91
million as of September 30, 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 September 30, 2025, we had aggregate future commitments of $
187
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 $
357
million and $
62
million to consolidated and unconsolidated projects, respectively, as of September 30, 2025.

Income Taxes
Our provision for income taxes on a consolidated basis was $
91
million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to a provision for income taxes of $
67
million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase of $
24
million is primarily related to an increase in earnings and favorable permanent book tax differences. Our effective tax rate decreased to
18.7
% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from
21.5
% for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Our provision for income taxes on a consolidated basis was $
203
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to a provision for
income taxes of $
70
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase of $
133
million is primarily related to an increase in current year earnings, favorable permanent book tax differences, and a reversal of unrecognized tax positions in the prior year. Our effective tax rate increased to
19.7
% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from
11.6
% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Our effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were 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.

On July 4, 2025, the U.S. federal government enacted H.R.1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), a budget reconciliation package that changes the U.S. federal income tax laws, including extensions of various expiring provisions from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The 2025 impacts of the OBBBA are insignificant based on our current operations.
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the company had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $
364
million and $
347
million, respectively.

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.
Disaggregated Revenue
The following tables represent a disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers by type of service and/or segment (dollars in millions):
(1)
We earn fees for arranging financing for borrowers with third-party lender contacts. Such fees are in scope of Topic 606.
(2)
Loan servicing fees earned from servicing contracts for which we do not hold mortgage servicing rights are in scope of Topic 606.
(3)
Out of scope revenue for development services represents selling profit from transfers of sales-type leases in the scope of FASB ASC Topic 842,

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, Building Operations & Experience, 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):
•
integration and other costs related to acquisitions,
•
carried interest incentive compensation expense (reversal) 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 adjustments related to unconsolidated equity investments,
•
business and finance transformation,
•
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.
There have been no significant changes to the measurement methods of expenses or methods of allocating expenses to segments during 2025.
(1)
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.
(2)
Other segment adjustments, as defined above.
(3)
Eliminations represent revenue from transactions between operating segments.

In the first quarter of 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 U.K. under a new business model under which the company does not self-perform general contracting. In the third quarter of 2025, management made the decision to wind down certain businesses within the BOE Segment.
Our CODM is not provided with total asset information by segment and accordingly, does not measure or allocate total assets on a segment basis. As a result, we have not disclosed any asset information by segment.

Telford Fire Safety Remediation
The accompanying consolidated balance sheets include an estimated liability of approximately $
196
million (of which $
129
million was current) and $
204
million (of which $
102
million was current) as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, related to fire safety remediation efforts for buildings historically developed by our subsidiary, Telford Homes.
The estimated cost of remediation was based on the best information available at that time, acknowledging the subjective, highly complex, and variable nature of these remediation costs. Key variables previously identified included individual remediation requirements, time for completion, cost and availability of materials, potential discoveries made during
remediation, investigation costs, availability of qualified fire safety engineers, potential business disruption costs, and changes to or new regulations and regulatory approval.
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, developments have occurred that, while reinforcing the probability of additional remediation obligations, have introduced a high degree of uncertainty regarding the ultimate scope, nature, and cost of these works. These developments include, but are not limited to, evolving regulatory interpretation, expanded scope of required works, conflicting technical assessments and increased commercial and operational uncertainty.
We are actively working to navigate these complexities and will continue to evaluate the potential impact on the company’s estimates as further information emerges on regulatory expectations, design requirements, and contractor pricing.
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 and nine months ended September 30, 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 has improved considerably in 2025. This is evident in notably strong occupier demand for office, data center and industrial leases, particularly in the U.S., as well as increased real estate sales activity. Large occupiers’ growing appetite for outsourcing services underpins demand for facilities management and project management work. We continue to monitor the potential impact of U.S. trade policy, including higher tariffs, but to date, have not seen a material effect on capital deployment or real estate occupancy decisions.
Capital Allocation
We did not repurchase any shares during the third quarter of 2025. We repurchased approximately $663 million worth of shares through the nine months ended September 30, 2025, while maintaining substantial liquidity to finance future growth.
The following table sets forth items derived from our consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 (dollars in millions):

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.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2024
We reported consolidated net income of $363 million for the quarter, on revenue of $10.3 billion as compared to consolidated net income of $225 million on revenue of $9.0 billion in the prior year.
The revenue increase of 13.5% reflected growth in leasing activity, particularly for office space, industrial and data centers,
along with increased revenue from commercial mortgage origination and property sales in
the Advisory segment and continued growth in the Business Operations & Experience (BOE) segment, which benefited fro
m strong new business activity, contract expansions and acquisitions. Revenue from our Project Management segment increas
ed, driven by strength in the United Kingdom, the Middle East and North America. Revenue decreased in the Real Estate Investments (REI) segment,
driven by incentive fees recognized in the prior year quarter.
Foreign currency translation had a 1.7% positive impact on revenue, reflecting strength in the euro and British pound sterling partially offset by weakness in the Indian rupee.
Pass-through costs increased 13.3% during the quarter as compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to revenue growth in the BOE and Project Management segments.
F
oreign currency translation had a 1.8% negative impact on pass-through costs.
Cost of revenue, excluding pass-through costs increased 15.8% during the quarter as compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to revenue growth consisting
of higher commission expense and employee compensation, as well as higher indirect reimbursed costs. F
oreign currency translation had a 1.6% negative impact on total cost of revenue, excluding pass-through costs. Cost of revenue, excluding pass-through costs increased slightly to 39.9% of total revenue from 39.1% driven by higher costs to support growth in revenues.
Operating, administrative and other expenses increased 7.4% during the quarter as compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was driven by
an increase in third-party fees related to acquisitions and integration activities, along with an increase in employee compensation, driven by revenue growth. F
oreign currency translation had a 1.7% negative impact on total operating expenses during the quarter. Operating, administrative and other expenses as a percentage of reven
ue decreased to 12.9% in t
he third quarter 2025 from 13.7% in the third quarter 2024, as operating expenses grew slower than revenue.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by 1.7% during the quarter, as compared to the same period in 2024, reflecting higher depreciation and amortization expense related to ass
ets acquired from recent acquisitions, such as Industrious.
Gain on disposition of real estate increased by $36 million during the quarter, dr
iven by monetization of real estate development assets in the REI segment.
We recorded equity income from unconsolidated subsidiaries of approximately $53 million, compared to equity loss of $4 million in the third quarter 2024, primarily due to positive co-investment returns and sales in the current quarter.
Interest expense, net of interest income, decreased by 21.9%, compared with the third quarter 2024. This decrease was primarily attributable
to increased net investment hedging activity, offset by the impact of increased commercial paper borrowings and the issuance of senior term loans and new senior unsecured notes.
Our provision for income taxes on a consolidated basis was $91 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to a provision for income taxes of $67 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase of $24 million is primarily related to an increase in current year earnings and favorable permanent book tax differences. Our effective tax rate decreased to 18.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from 21.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2025 is different than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21.0%, primarily due to U.S. state taxes and favorable permanent book tax differences.
Legislative Developments
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.
On July 4, 2025, the U.S. Government enacted, H.R.1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA"), a budget reconciliation package that changes the U.S. federal income tax laws, including extensions of various expiring provisions from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The 2025 impacts of the OBBBA are insignificant based on our current operations.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024
We reported consolidated net income of $741 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 on revenue of $28.9 billion as compared to consolidated net income of $481 million on revenue of $25.4 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
The revenue increase of 14.0% reflected growth in leasing activity, particularly for office space, industrial and data centers, along with increased revenue from
commercial mortgage origination and property sales in the
Advisory segment and continued growth in the 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 the United Kingdom, North America and the Middle East. Revenue decreased in the REI segment, driven by lower carried interest and
incentive fees recognized in the prior year.
Foreign currency translation had a 0.4% positive impact on total revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily driven by strength in the British pound sterling and euro, partially offset by weakness in the Canadian dollar, Australian dollar, Indian rupee and Mexican peso.
Pass-through costs increased 13.8% during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to revenue growth in the BOE and Project Management segments.
F
oreign currency translation had a 0.4% negative impact on pass-through costs.
Cost of revenue, excluding pass-through costs increased 15.4% during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to revenue growth consistin
g of higher commission expense and employee compensation, as well as higher indirect reimbursed costs. F
oreign currency translation had a 0.3% negative impact on total cost of revenue, excluding pass-through costs. Cost of revenue, excluding pass-through costs increased slightly to 39.5% of total revenue from 39.0%.
Operating, administrative and other expenses increased 7.2% as compared to the same period last year. The increase was driven by an increase in third-party fees related to acquisitions and integration activities, along with an increase in bad debt expenses and
employee compensation, driven by revenue growth
. Foreign currency translation had a 0.3% negative impact on total operating expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Operating, administrative and other expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 13.1% from 13.9%, as operating expenses grew slower than revenue.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by 8.7% during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024, reflecting higher depreciation and amortization expense related to assets acquired from recent acquisitions, such as Industrious.
Gain on disposition of real estate increased by $43 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, driven by monetization of real estate development assets in the REI segment.
We reported equity income of $50 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to equity loss of $77 million in the same period in 2024. This was primarily driven by positive co-investment returns and sales in the current period, compared to higher unrealized equity losses in the prior period, driven by a fair value adjustment related to our non-core strategic equity investment in Altus.
Interest expense, net of interest income, decreased by 2.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period
in 2024. This decrease was primarily due to the impact of net investment hedging activity, partially offset by the impact of increased comm
ercial paper borrowings and the issuance of senior term loans and new senior unsecured notes.
Our provision for income taxes on a consolidated basis was $203 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to a provision for income taxes of $70 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase of $133 million is primarily related to an increase in earnings, favorable permanent book tax differences, and a prior year benefit for the reversal of unrecognized tax positions. Our effective tax rate increased to 19.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from 11.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Our effective tax rate for the nine months
ended September 30, 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.
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, Building Operations & Experience (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) 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, 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 development services.
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 16 – Segments of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) set forth in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
The following table summarizes our results of operations for our Advisory Services operating segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 (dollars in millions):

Costs associated with efficiency and cost-reduction initiatives
(2)
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.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2024
Revenue increased 16.8% during the quarter compared to the same period in 2024. Property sales revenue grew 29.5%, led by office, industrial, land and data centers in the U.S., APAC and Europe. Globally, sales grew double-digits across office, industrial and multifamily. Global leasing revenue rose 17.6%, led by data centers, office and industrial leasing driven by Americas which grew 19.1%, including 17.9% in the United States and APAC which grew 21.6%.
Foreign currency translation had a 1.0% positive impact on total revenue during the quarter, primarily driven by strength in the euro and British pound sterling partially offset by weakness in the Australian dollar and Indian rupee.
Cost of revenue, excluding pass-through costs increased 17.5%, primarily reflecting business growth and higher commission expense. Foreign currency translation had a 0.9% negative impact on total cost of revenue, excluding pass-through costs. Cost of revenue, excluding pass-through costs as a percentage of total revenue increased slightly to 58.1% compared to the same period in 2024, as costs of revenue increased proportionately with the increase in revenue.
Operating, administrative and other expenses increased by 7.6%, as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to higher employee compensation and business promotion, advertising and travel expenses driven by the growth in the business. Foreign currency translation had a 1.3% negative 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 September 30, 2025, MSRs contributed $41 million to operating income, offset by $36 million of amortization of related intangible assets. The MSR contribution to third quarter 2024 operating income was $38 million and amortization totaled $36 million. The increase was associated with higher origination activity given an increase in financing activities and strong performance in both agency and non-agency lending.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased 3.0% primarily due to higher amortization of mortgage servicing rights as described above.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024
Revenue increased 15.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Property sales revenue increased 20.8%, led by office, industrial, land and data centers in the U.S., APAC and Europe. Global leasing revenue rose 16.2%, led by data centers, office and industrial leasing driven by Americas which grew 17.8%, including 18.1% in the United States and the United Kingdom, which grew 15.3%.
Foreign currency translation had a 0.1% positive impact on total revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily driven by strength in the British pound sterling and euro, partially offset by weakness in the Australian dollar and Canadian dollar.
Cost of revenue, excluding pass-through costs increased 15.7%, primarily reflecting business growth and higher commission expense. Foreign currency translation had a negligible impact on total cost of revenue, excluding pass-through costs. Cost of revenue, excluding pass-through costs slightly increased to 57.4% of total revenue from 57.1% for the same period in 2024 primarily due to escalating commission payouts driven by strong revenue growth.
Operating, administrative and other expenses increased by 4.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to higher employee compensation, higher business promotion, advertising and travel expense, driven by growth in the business. Foreign currency translation had a 0.1% positive impact on total operating expenses.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, MSRs contributed $96 million to operating income, offset by $108 million of amortization of related intangible assets. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, MSRs contributed $74 million to operating income, offset by $104 million of amortization of related intangible assets. The increase was associated with higher origination activity given an increase in financing activities.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased 5.7% primarily due to higher amortization of mortgage servicing rights as described above.

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.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2024
Revenue increased 20.4% due to strong business activity in the United Kingdom, the Middle East and North America and increased revenue from pass-through costs. Foreign currency translation had a 1.9% positive impact on total revenue during the quarter, primarily driven by strength in the British pound sterling and euro.
Pass-through costs increased 24.1% during the quarter as compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to revenue growth in the Project Management segment.
F
oreign currency translation had a 1.5% negative impact on pass-through costs.
Cost of revenue, excluding pass-through costs increased 18.1%, driven by increased professional compensation. Foreign currency translation had a 2.2% negative impact on total cost of revenue, excluding pass-through costs. Cost of revenue, excluding pass-through costs was 31.5% of total revenue, slightly down from 32.1% in the third quarter 2024.
Operating, administrative and other expenses increased 6.0%, primarily due to higher employee compensation expenses and higher business promotion, advertising and travel expense. Foreign currency translation had a 2.6% negative impact on total operating expenses during the quarter.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased 7.7%, reflecting higher depreciation expense.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024
Revenue increased 14.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, due to strong business activity and increased revenue from pass-through costs. Foreign currency translation had a 0.5% positive impact on total revenue, primarily driven by strength in the British pound sterling and euro partially offset by weakness in the Indian rupee, Australian dollar and Mexican peso.
Pass-through costs increased 17.7% during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to revenue growth in the Project Management segment.
F
oreign currency translation had a 0.3% negative impact on pass-through costs.
Cost of revenue, excluding pass-through costs increased 10.8%, driven by increased professional compensation. Foreign currency translation had a 0.6% negative impact on total cost of revenue, excluding pass-through costs. Cost of revenue, excluding pass-through costs was 33.0% of total revenue, a slight decrease from 34.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Operating, administrative and other expenses increased 14.1%, primarily due to higher employee compensation expenses. Foreign currency translation had a 1.0% negative impact on total operating expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased 6.0%, reflecting lower amortization expense due to intangible assets being fully amortized in 2024.

In the first quarter of 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 U.K. under a new business model under which the company does not self-perform general contracting.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2024
Revenue decreased 30.1% for the current quarter primarily due to lower incentive fees in our Investment Management business and lower construction management and development fees from development services. Foreign currency translation had a 2.0% positive impact on total revenue during the quarter primarily driven by strength in the British pound sterling and euro.
Cost of revenue decreased 35.0% in the quarter as compared to the same period in 2024 due to lower construction costs incurred on our real estate development projects. Foreign currency translation had a 3.3% negative impact on total cost of revenue during the quarter.
Operating, administrative and other expenses decreased 16.2% primarily due to a decrease in total compensation in our investment management and development services lines of business. Foreign currency translation had a 1.3% negative impact on total operating expenses.
Gain on disposition of real estate increased by $34 million compared with third quarter 2024, driven by monetization of real estate development assets in the current period versus none in the prior year quarter.
We recorded equity income from unconsolidated subsidiaries of approximately $49 million versus equity income of $14 million in the third quarter 2024, primarily due to positive co-investment returns and sales in the current quarter.

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.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024
Revenue decreased 13.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 primarily due to lower incentive fees and carried interest partially offset by higher asset management fees in our Investment Management business and lower construction management and development fees from development services. Foreign currency translation had a 0.9% positive impact on total revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily driven by strength in the British pound sterling.
Cost of revenue decreased 24.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 due to lower construction costs incurred on our real estate development projects. Foreign currency translation had a 1.9% negative impact on total cost of revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Operating, administrative and other expenses decreased 7.8%, primarily due to a decrease in variable incentive compensation in our investment management and development services lines of business. Foreign currency translation had a 0.6% negative impact on total operating expenses.
Gain on disposition of real estate increased by $40 million compared to the same period in 2024 due primarily to gains recognized upon monetization of real estate development projects.
We recorded equity income from unconsolidated subsidiaries of approximately $40 million versus equity income of $29 million during the same period in 2024, primarily due to positive co-investment returns and sales in the current quarter.

We describe above how we calculate AUM. Also, as noted above, 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.
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.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2024
Core corporate
Operating, administrative and other expenses for our core corporate functions rose 13.0% to $183 million for the third quarter of 2025, mainly due to higher costs related to acquisitions, integration activities and higher management incentive compensation.
Other (non-core)
We recorded equity income of $1 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to a $10 million loss in the third quarter of 2024, reflecting the lower value of our investment in publicly traded Altus Power. Altus was acquired by a third-party on April 16, 2025.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024
Core corporate
Operating, administrative and other expenses for our core corporate functions rose 22.3% to $542 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, mainly due to higher costs related to acquisitions, integration activities and higher management incentive compensation.
We recorded equity income of $24 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, reflecting the higher value of our investment in publicly traded Altus, which was acquired by a third-party on April 16, 2025. This compares with a $102 million loss during the same period in 2024, reflecting the lower valuation of our investment in Altus.
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 $339 million of anticipated capital expenditures, net of tenant concessions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we incurred $222 million of capital expenditures. As of September 30, 2025, we had aggregate future commitments of $187 million related to co-investments funds in our REI segment, $22 million of which is expected to be funded in 2025. Additionally, as of September 30, 2025, we are committed to fund additional capital of $357 million and $62 million to consolidated and unconsolidated projects, respectively, within our REI segment. As of September 30, 2025, we had $3.5 billion of borrowings available under our revolving credit facilities (under both the 5-Year Revolving Credit Agreement and 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement, as described below, and the Turner & Townsend revolving credit facility) and $1.7 billion of cash and cash equivalents. We intend to maintain available commitments under the 5-Year Revolving Credit Agreement in an amount at least equal to the amount of commercial paper notes outstanding from time to time. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $1.1 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.
On May 12, 2025, we issued $600 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.800% senior notes due in 2030 and $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.500% senior notes due in 2035, generating aggregate net proceeds of approximately $1.1 billion after offering expenses. On May 28, 2025, we used a portion of the proceeds from this offering to redeem in full the $600 million aggregate outstanding principal amount of our 4.875% senior notes due 2026.
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 September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had accrued deferred purchase consideration totaling $339 million ($234 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 14 – 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 September 30, 2025. The Board also extended the term of the 2024 program through December 31, 2029.
We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock during the three months ended September 30, 2025 under the 2024 program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we repurchased 5,185,163 shares of our common stock with an average price of $127.82 per share for an aggregate of $663 million under the 2024 program. As of September 30, 2025, we had $5.2 billion 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 provided by operating activities totaled $338 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $368 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The primary drivers that contributed to the decrease
in
net cash provided by operating activities were as follows: working capital movements, driven by timing of cash receipts and payment to vendors, partially offset by higher cash flows from earnings, driven by revenue growth.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $664 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $1,494 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $830 million. The decrease was primarily due to lower cash outflows from acquisitions in the current period (primarily consisting of the acquisition of Industrious), compared to the prior period when we acquired J&J Worldwide Services and Direct Line.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $832 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to $927 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decreased cash inflow was primarily driven by cash paid to repurchase common stock in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, offset by net proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt in the current period, compared to the prior period.
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 4.0% as of September 30, 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. On June 24, 2025, CBRE Group, Inc., CBRE Services and Relam Borrower entered into Amendment No. 3 to the 2023 Credit Agreement, for the purpose of, among other things, amending the financial covenants to remove the interest coverage ratio covenant and to increase certain baskets and thresholds in the 2023 Credit Agreement in a manner consistent with the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreements described below.
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 May 12, 2025, CBRE Services issued $600 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.800% senior notes due June 15, 2030 (the 4.800% senior notes) at a price equal to 99.065% of their face value. The 4.800% 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 4.800% per year and is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on December 15, 2025.
On May 12, 2025, CBRE Services issued $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.500% senior notes due June 15, 2035 (the 2035 5.500% senior notes) at a price equal to 99.549% of their face value. The 2035 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 June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on December 15, 2025.

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 10 – Long-Term Debt and Short-Term Borrowings of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) set forth in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
On June 24, 2025, we entered into a new 5-year senior unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement (the 5-Year Revolving Credit Agreement) which replaced our prior revolving credit agreement dated August 5, 2022. The 5-Year 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 June 24, 2030.
The 5-Year 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 5-Year Revolving Credit Agreement also includes capacity for letters of credit not to exceed $300 million in the aggregate and capacity for swingline loans not to exceed $300 million in the aggregate. The 5-Year Revolving Credit Agreement is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by CBRE Group, Inc.
As of September 30, 2025, no amount was outstanding under the revolving credit facility provided for by the 5-Year Revolving Credit Agreement. $61 million of letters of credit were outstanding as of September 30, 2025. Letters of credit are issued in the ordinary course of business and would reduce the amount we may borrow under this revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2024, $132 million was outstanding under our prior revolving credit facility. No letters of credit were outstanding as of December 31, 2024.
On June 24, 2025, we entered into a new 364-day senior unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement (the 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement, and together with the 5-Year Revolving Credit Agreement, the Revolving Credit Agreements). The 364-Day 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 $1.0 billion and a maturity date of June 23, 2026.
The 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement requires us to pay a fee based on the total amount of the revolving credit facility commitment (whether used or unused). The 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by CBRE Group, Inc.
As of September 30, 2025, no amount was outstanding under the revolving credit facility provided for by the 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement.
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 September 30, 2025, we had $1.1 billion in outstanding borrowings under the commercial paper program with a weighted average annual interest rate of 4.34%. As of October 20, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $1.0 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 September 30, 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 10 – 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.
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 12 – 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 September 30, 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.
Core EBITDA 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 core EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
We use core EBITDA as an indicator of the company’s ongoing operating financial performance. Core EBITDA represents earnings before depreciation and amortization, net interest expense and income taxes, further adjusted for the following items:
•
write-off of financing costs on extinguished debt,
•
integration and other costs related to acquisitions,
•
carried interest incentive compensation expense (reversal) 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 adjustments related to unconsolidated equity investments,
•
business and finance transformation,
•
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.
We believe that investors may find these measures useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies because their calculations generally eliminate the effects of acquisitions, which would include impairment charges of goodwill and intangibles created from acquisitions, the effects of financing and income taxes and the accounting effects of capital spending.
Core EBITDA is not intended to be a measure 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.

In the first quarter of 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 U.K. under a new business model under which the company does not self-perform general contracting. In the third quarter of 2025, management made the decision to wind down certain businesses within the BOE Segment.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statements are made. You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information, except to the extent required by applicable securities laws. If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements. Additional information concerning these and other risks and uncertainties is contained in our other periodic filings with the SEC.
Investors and others should note that we routinely announce financial and other material information using our Investor Relations website (
https://ir.cbre.com
), SEC filings, press releases, public conference calls and webcasts. We use these channels of distribution to communicate with our investors and members of the public about our company, our services and other items of interest. Information contained on our website is not part of this Quarterly Report or our other filings with the SEC.
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
and Note 8 – Derivatives and Hedging Activities to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) set forth in Item 1 of this Quarterly 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 risks 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 segments derive significant revenue and earnings in foreign currencies, particularly the euro and British pound sterling. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may 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 be adversely affected by rapid and unpredictable changes to U.S. trade policy, disputes with U.S. trading partners, increased tariffs, 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2025, approximately 44.1% and 43.2% of our revenue was transacted in foreign currencies, respectively. The following table sets forth our revenue derived from our most significant currencies (dollars in millions):
(1)
Approximately 47 and 45 currencies comprise 7.7% and 7.1% of our revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Approximately 47 and 45 currencies comprise 7.5% of our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
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 nine months ended September 30, 2025, would have increased pre-tax income by $9 million. A hypothetical 10% increase in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the euro would have increased pre-tax income by $19 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.
Foreign currency exchange rate changes may have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results. Due to our exposure to constantly changing currency rates, which can be volatile, we cannot predict how currency exchange rate changes may affect future operating results. In addition, currency exchange volatility may make it more difficult to perform period-to-period comparisons of our reported results of operations. Our international operations also are subject to political instability and changes in tax, trade and regulatory policies, among other things, which may adversely affect our future financial performance. We monitor these risks and may add more oversight of our business activities in foreign countries where such risks and costs are particularly significant.
Interest Rates
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 following table summarizes the estimated fair value of our long-term debt based on dealers’ quotes (dollars in millions):
Estimated Fair Value

September 30, 2025
Senior term loans due in 2028
$
1,256
5.950% senior notes due in 2034

515
5.500% senior notes due in 2029
519
2.500% senior notes due in 2031
453
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 September 30, 2025, the net impact of the additional interest cost would be a decrease of $18 million on pre-tax income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
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 September 30, 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 September 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
There have been no material changes to our legal proceedings as previously disclosed in our
2024 Annual Report
