CBRE Group, Inc. Reports Second-Quarter 2020 Financial Results
Los Angeles, CA – July 31, 2020 — CBRE Group, Inc. (NYSE:CBRE) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.
“As expected, Covid-19 took a toll on our performance in the second quarter, with impacts felt across every part of our business,” said Bob Sulentic, CBRE’s president & chief executive officer. “However, the overall impact was cushioned by our diverse business mix, particularly the sustained growth of our contractual businesses over the past decade. We also benefited from early moves to reduce our expense base, a process that is continuing, and strengthened our financial position and cash-flow generation despite the ongoing challenges from the pandemic.”
“Double-digit adjusted EBITDA growth in our Global Workplace Solutions segment demonstrated the resiliency of a business that occupier clients increasingly rely on, in good times and bad, to run essential operations and drive critical cost efficiencies.”
Mr. Sulentic concluded: “The pandemic has elevated the importance of workplace strategy on corporate agendas. Now more than ever, clients will need the strategic insight, thoughtful advice and reliable execution that CBRE and our people are best positioned to provide. We have built the company for opportunities like this and intend to capitalize on it.”
The company will discuss its expectations for the second half of 2020 on its earnings webcast and conference call, which will be held at 8:30 am Eastern Time today (Friday, July 31, 2020).

Results for the quarter were adversely impacted by $25 million of incremental Covid-19-related costs and a $16 million donation to the company’s Covid-19 Relief Fund. Together, these items reduced both GAAP EPS and adjusted EPS by about $0.10.
Advisory Services Segment
The following table presents highlights of the Advisory Services segment performance (dollars in millions):

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q2 2020 | Q2 2019 | USD | LC | |||||
| Revenue | $ | 1,553 | $ | 2,179 | (28.7%) | (27.4%) | ||
| Fee revenue | 1,339 | 1,935 | (30.8%) | (29.6%) | ||||

Advisory leasing was significantly impacted by the Covid-19 operating environment with revenue falling 38% (37% local currency). This compares with a very strong second quarter of 2019, when advisory leasing revenue surged 19% (21% local currency) year-over-year. Current-quarter activity was weak across most of the world as occupiers paused leasing decisions. However, Germany, Greater China and Mexico were among the countries that recorded notable growth. U.S. leasing revenue was down 43% compared to second-quarter 2019, a period which saw year-over-year leasing growth of 27%.
The effects of Covid-19 were especially pronounced in global property sales, as capital flows were severely disrupted and marketwide sales activity dropped dramatically. Sales revenue declined 48% (47% local currency), including a decline of more than 50% in the U.S. However, CBRE’s performance was strong relative to a very weak market environment. This is reflected in a 160 basis point increase in U.S. investment sales market share during the quarter, according to Real Capital Analytics. Greater China, Korea, Mexico and Switzerland achieved strong sales revenue growth for the quarter.
Also reflecting the constrained environment due to Covid-19, commercial mortgage origination revenue declined 28% (same local currency). As expected, most capital sources took a cautious approach but the lending environment improved moderately as the second quarter progressed, with activity more weighted to refinancing transactions. The improved lending environment continued into July.

Global capital markets revenue, which combines property sales and commercial mortgage origination, fell 44% (43% local currency) for the quarter.
Loan servicing, a service performed for lenders on a contractual basis, saw revenue rise 15% (same local currency), as the portfolio increased 17% from a year ago to $245 billion.
Property management and advisory project management fell 8% (6% local currency) for revenue and 4% (2% local currency) for fee revenue, reflecting the temporary shutdown of most construction activity and reduced spending on capital projects. Valuation revenue declined 12% (9% local currency), although modest growth was achieved in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and Asia Pacific.
The segment’s lower adjusted EBITDA margin reflected the decline in higher-margin sales and lease revenue, $7.8 million in incremental Covid-related expenses and $10.8 million for the company’s donation to its Covid Relief Fund.

Global Workplace Solutions (GWS) Segment
The following table presents highlights of the GWS segment performance (dollars in millions):
| % Change | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q2 2020 | Q2 2019 | USD | LC | |||||
| Revenue | $ | 3,667 | $ | 3,385 | 8.3% | 10.1% | ||

| Adjusted EBITDA on fee revenue margin | 15.4 | % | 13.6 | % | 1.7 pts | 1.6 pts |
CBRE’s GWS segment performed relatively well despite Covid-19 due to the contractual nature of the facilities management business, which accounted for more than 85% of fee revenue during the second quarter. This was reflected in a 7% (9% local currency) rise in fee revenue from global facilities management versus a 1% decrease (less than 1% increase local currency) for the segment as a whole. Growth in facilities management was offset by lower project management and transaction revenue. Overall fee revenue growth was notably strong in Continental Europe.
New contract activity for the quarter was strong, driven by the logistics, technology, financial services and life sciences sectors. The pipeline of new business opportunities continued to increase from year-end levels, as major occupiers are increasingly focused on cost and operational efficiencies amid the pandemic. The company also continued to achieve a high renewal rate for expiring contracts.
Double-digit adjusted EBITDA growth for the quarter reflected early moves to align expenses with lower anticipated client spending. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2020 also includes the negative impact of $16.8 million in incremental Covid-related expenses and $3.4 million for the company’s donation to its Covid Relief Fund.
Real Estate Investments (REI) Segment
The following table presents highlights of the REI segment performance (dollars in millions):
| % Change | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q2 2020 | Q2 2019 | USD | LC | |||
| Revenue | $ | 162 | $ | 150 | 8.0% | 9.5% |
| Adjusted revenue ^(7)^ | 154 | 169 | (9.1%) | (7.8%) | ||
| Adjusted EBITDA ^(8)^ | 18 | 31 | (40.9%) | (39.5%) |
The decline in this segment’s adjusted EBITDA was driven by lower development asset sales activity due to transaction timing, as well as losses in the UK multifamily residential development business (Telford Homes, acquired in October 2019) and Hana, the start-up flexible workspace business. Conversely, investment management produced stronger results than a year ago, driven by higher asset management fees, carried interest, and co-investment returns, partially offset by lower acquisition, incentive and disposition fees.
This segment incurred incremental expenses due to Covid-19 of $0.4 million, mostly related to Hana, and $1.2 million for the company’s donation to its Covid Relief Fund. In addition, the UK multifamily development business was impacted by transitory operational challenges related to Covid-19, including temporary construction stoppages and other challenges as well as constrained sales activity.
| • | Investment Management: Investment management revenue, most of which is recurring, climbed 1% (3% local currency) for the quarter to $103.0 million. Adjusted EBITDA rose 62% (65% local currency), driven primarily by higher co-investment returns and increased carried interest contribution. Assets under management (AUM) totaled $109.6 billion at the end of the second |

| quarter, an increase of $1.5 billion, or $0.7 billion in local currency, from first-quarter 2020. The increase reflected net capital inflows and beneficial foreign currency movement. | |
|---|---|
| • | Development: The in-process portfolio totaled $13.7 billion at the end of the second quarter, a decrease of $0.2 billion from first-quarter 2020. The pipeline increased by $0.3 billion from the first quarter of 2020 to $6.1 billion. The acquired UK development business contributed $1.0 billion to the in-process total and $1.6 billion to the pipeline total at June 30, 2020. About half of the in-process development is attributable to fee-development and built-to-suit projects. |
| --- | --- |
| • | Flexible Workspace (Hana): The loss associated with the start-up of Hana totaled $9.2 million for the second quarter, in line with expectations. Hana has opened five facilities (Dallas, London (three units) and Southern California) and is in the process of opening five additional units (New York City, Northern Virginia, Northern New Jersey, Philadelphia and Manchester, UK). These units, totaling nearly 500,000 square feet, are primarily private workspaces that are oriented to meet the needs of large enterprises that want to make flexible space an element of their occupancy portfolio. During the second quarter of 2020, the Hana units were closed for a period of time due to government mandates, but are all open at the present time. |
| --- | --- |
Adjustments to GAAP Net Income and Earnings Per Share
Adjustments to GAAP net income totaled $35.8 million on a net basis. This includes $58.2 million of positive pre-tax adjustments, primarily related to costs associated with workforce optimization efforts in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, non-cash acquisition-related depreciation and amortization and the impact of fair value adjustments to real estate assets acquired in the Telford Homes acquisition that were sold in the second quarter, offset by a reversal of investment management carried interest incentive compensation to align with the timing of associated carried-interest revenue, and a $14.9 million net tax adjustment associated with the aforementioned pre-tax adjustments.
GAAP net income decreased 63% (same local currency) to $82 million and earnings per share decreased 63% (62% local currency) to $0.24, compared with the prior-year period. Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share decreased 58% and 57%, respectively (57% and 56% local currency, respectively) to $117.7 million and $0.35, respectively, compared with the prior-year period. These decreases were primarily driven by the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Capital Allocation Overview
| • | Free Cash Flow – During the second quarter of 2020, free cash flow increased 120% to $70 million. This reflected cash flow from operations of $142 million, less total capital expenditures of $72 million, in the second quarter of 2020. |
|---|
Net capital expenditures totaled $61.8 million^(^^9^^)^, which included a significant allocation for technology-related investments and $11.7 million for continued expansion of Hana. Discretionary capital expenditures comprised a considerable portion of total capital expenditures in the period.
| • | Stock Repurchase Program – The company has $350.0 million of stock repurchase capacity under its authorized repurchase program available as of today. The company did not repurchase any of its stock during the second quarter of 2020. |
|---|---|
| • | Acquisitions – The company did not complete any acquisitions during the second quarter of 2020. In July 2020, the company acquired a valuation services company in South Korea. |

Totals may not sum in tables in millions included in this release due to rounding.
^1^Local currency percentage change is calculated by comparing current-period results at prior-period exchange rates versus prior-period results.
^2^Fee revenue is gross revenue less both client reimbursed costs largely associated with employees that are dedicated to client facilities and subcontracted vendor work performed for clients.
^3^EBITDA represents earnings before net interest expense, write-off of financing costs on extinguished debt, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and asset impairments. Amounts shown for adjusted EBITDA further remove (from EBITDA) the impact of costs primarily associated with workforce optimization efforts in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, fair value adjustments to real estate assets acquired in the Telford Acquisition (purchase accounting) that were sold in the period, costs incurred related to legal entity restructuring, integration and other costs related to acquisitions, certain carried interest incentive compensation (reversal) expense to align with the timing of associated revenue, and costs associated with our reorganization, including cost-savings initiatives.
^4^Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted share (or adjusted EPS) exclude the effect of select items from GAAP net income and GAAP earnings per diluted share as well as adjust the provision for income taxes for such charges. Adjustments during the periods presented included costs primarily associated with workforce optimization efforts in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, asset impairments, non-cash depreciation and amortization expense related to certain assets attributable to acquisitions, the impact of fair value adjustments to real estate assets acquired in the Telford Acquisition (purchase accounting) that were sold in the period, costs incurred related to legal entity restructuring, integration and other costs related to acquisitions, certain carried interest incentive compensation (reversal) expense to align with the timing of associated revenue, costs associated with our segment reorganization, including cost-savings initiatives, and write-off of financing costs on extinguished debt.
^5^Free cash flow is calculated as cash flow from operations, less capital expenditures (reflected in the investing section of the consolidated statement of cash flows).
^6^Adjusted EBITDA on revenue and fee revenue margins represents adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue and fee revenue, respectively.
^7^Adjusted revenue for the Real Estate Investments segment reflects revenue for this segment, less the direct cost of revenue, along with equity income from unconsolidated subsidiaries and gain on disposition of real estate, net of non-controlling interests. Adjusted revenue also removes the impact of fair value adjustments to real estate assets acquired in the Telford acquisition (purchase accounting) that were sold in the period.
^8^Adjusted EBITDA in the Real Estate Investments segment includes equity income from unconsolidated subsidiaries and gain on disposition of real estate, net of non-controlling interests, and the associated compensation expense.
^9^For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the company incurred capital expenditures of $71.9 million (reflected in the investing section of the consolidated statement of cash flows) and received tenant concessions from landlords of $10.1 million (reflected in the operating section of the consolidated statement of cash flows).
^10^Net debt is calculated as total debt (excluding non-recourse debt) less cash available for company use.
^1^^1^Cash represents cash and cash equivalents (excluding restricted cash) and excludes $79.1 million of cash in consolidated funds and other entities not available for company use at June 30, 2020.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The following measures are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under SEC guidelines:
| (i) | Fee revenue |
|---|---|
| (ii) | Adjusted revenue for the Real Estate Investments segment |
| (iii) | Net income attributable to CBRE Group, Inc., as adjusted (which we also refer to as “adjusted net income”) |
| (iv) | Diluted income per share attributable to CBRE Group, Inc. shareholders, as adjusted (which we also refer to as “adjusted earnings per diluted share” or “adjusted EPS”) |
| (v) | Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA on revenue and fee revenue margins |
| (vi) | Free cash flow |
| (vi) | Net debt |
These measures are not recognized measurements under United States generally accepted accounting principles, or “GAAP.” When analyzing our operating performance, investors should use them in addition to, and not as an alternative for, their most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Our management generally uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate operating performance and for other discretionary purposes. The company believes that these measures provide a more complete understanding of ongoing operations, enhance comparability of current results to prior periods and may be useful for investors to analyze our financial performance because they eliminate the impact of selected charges that may obscure trends in the underlying performance of our business. The company further uses certain of these measures, and believes that they are useful to investors, for purposes described below.
With respect to fee revenue: the company believes that investors may find this measure useful to analyze the financial performance of our Global Workplace Solutions and Property and Advisory Project Management business lines and our business generally. Fee revenue excludes costs reimbursable by clients, and as such provides greater visibility into the underlying performance of our business.
With respect to adjusted revenue: the company believes that investors may find this measure useful to analyze the financial performance of our Real Estate Investments segment because it is more reflective of this segment’s total operations.
With respect to adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA on revenue and fee revenue margins: the company believes that investors may find these measures useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry because their calculations generally eliminate the accounting effects of acquisitions, which would include impairment charges of goodwill and intangibles created from acquisitions—and in the case of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA on revenue and fee revenue margins—the effects of financings and income tax and the accounting effects of capital spending. All of these measures and adjusted revenue may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. In the case of adjusted EBITDA, this measure is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for our management’s discretionary use because it does not consider cash requirements such as tax and debt service payments. The adjusted EBITDA measure calculated herein may also differ from the amounts calculated under similarly titled definitions in our credit facilities and debt instruments, which amounts are further adjusted to reflect certain other cash and non-cash charges and are used by us to determine compliance with financial covenants therein and our ability to engage in certain activities, such as incurring additional debt. The company also uses adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS as significant components when measuring our operating performance under our employee incentive compensation programs.
With respect to free cash flow: the company believes that investors may find this measure useful to analyze the cash flow generated from operations after accounting for cash outflows to support operations and capital expenditures.
With respect to net debt: the company believes that investors use this measure when calculating the company’s net leverage ratio.
