TORONTO, Feb. 09, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Colliers International Group Inc. (NASDAQ and TSX: CIGI) (“Colliers” or the “Company”) today announced operating and financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022. All amounts are in US dollars.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, revenues were $1.22 billion, down 9% (5% in local currency), adjusted EBITDA (note 1) was $202.7 million, up 6% (9% in local currency) and adjusted EPS (note 2) was $2.31, up 3% versus the prior year period. Fourth quarter adjusted EPS would have been approximately $0.10 higher excluding foreign exchange impacts. GAAP operating earnings were $103.8 million as compared to $138.4 million. GAAP diluted net earnings per share were $0.51 versus $0.92 in the prior year quarter. Fourth quarter GAAP diluted EPS would have been approximately $0.10 higher excluding changes in foreign exchange rates.
For the full year ended December 31, 2022, revenues were $4.46 billion, up 9% (13% in local currency), adjusted EBITDA (note 1) was $630.5 million, up 16% (19% in local currency) and adjusted EPS (note 2) was $6.99, up 13% versus prior year. Full year ended December 31, 2022 adjusted EPS would have been approximately $0.22 higher excluding foreign exchange impacts. The GAAP operating earnings were $332.5 million and included a $26.8 million loss on disposal of operations in Russia. The prior year GAAP operating loss of $131.5 million included the $471.9 million settlement of the Long-Term Incentive Arrangement (“LTIA”) with the Company's Chairman & CEO in April 2021. The GAAP diluted earnings per share were $1.05 as compared to a diluted loss per share of $9.09. Full year ended December 31, 2022 GAAP diluted EPS would have been approximately $0.24 higher excluding changes in foreign exchange rates.
“During the fourth quarter, Investment Management and Outsourcing & Advisory delivered strong revenue growth while Leasing matched the record results from the prior year period. As expected, interest rate volatility, challenging debt availability and geopolitical issues impacted our Capital Markets results in our seasonally strongest quarter and we expect this to continue through the first half of 2023. However, transactions are still being completed and pent-up demand should translate into additional volumes in future quarters as conditions stabilize,” said Jay S. Hennick, Global Chairman & CEO of Colliers.
“Strong full year performance driven by high value recurring revenue streams continues to transform Colliers into a different kind of diversified services company. With our globally balanced and highly diversified business model, significant recurring revenue, and proven record of capitalizing on opportunities, Colliers is stronger and more resilient than ever. Earnings from recurring revenues now represent 58% of our proforma EBITDA, well on the way to our goal of 65% by the end of 2025.”
“Throughout 2022, we completed a record $1.0 billion in acquisitions across our global enterprise. These acquisitions not only strengthen our core, but they also create additional opportunities to drive share value. In Investment Management, we finished the year with total assets under management of $98 billion, placing Colliers among the top global players in the alternative private capital industry in just six years.”
“Colliers has a highly respected global brand and growth platform, well-balanced and highly diversified business model and an enterprising culture with significant inside ownership. Most importantly, we have a proven track record of delivering about 20% annual growth in share value to shareholders over the past 28 years setting us apart from most other growth companies,” he concluded.

Consolidated revenues for the fourth quarter decreased 5% on a local currency basis with Capital Markets declining in its seasonally strongest quarter due to global interest rate volatility and challenging debt capital market conditions. Investment Management and Outsourcing & Advisory generated robust growth, while Leasing matched the record results of the prior year period. Consolidated internal revenues measured in local currencies declined 11% (note 3) versus the prior year quarter entirely on lower Capital Markets activity.
For the year ended December 31, 2022, consolidated revenues increased 13% on a local currency basis driven by strong growth in Investment Management, Outsourcing & Advisory and Leasing. Consolidated internal revenues measured in local currencies were up 6% (note 3).
Segmented Fourth Quarter Results
Revenues in the Americas region totalled $678.9 million for the fourth quarter, down 17% (16% in local currency) versus $813.6 million in the prior year quarter. The decline was related to the interest rate driven slowdown in Capital Markets relative to record volumes generated in the prior year’s seasonally strongest quarter. Outsourcing & Advisory revenues were up solidly, particularly Engineering & Design (including recent acquisitions) and Property Management while Leasing revenues matched record levels generated in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA was $82.9 million, down 12% (11% in local currency) with Adjusted EBITDA margins improving by 60 basis points on lower average commission levels, lower incentive compensation and a reduction in discretionary costs. GAAP operating earnings were $52.0 million, relative to $78.8 million in the prior year quarter.
Revenues in the EMEA region totalled $228.3 million, down 2% (up 8% in local currency) compared to $233.1 million in the prior year quarter. Revenue growth, in local currency, was driven by robust activity in Outsourcing & Advisory (including recent acquisitions), offset by a decline in Capital Markets activity due to interest rate volatility and geopolitical uncertainty, Adjusted EBITDA was $35.9 million, down 15% (9% in local currency) relative to the prior year quarter primarily due to changes in service mix. GAAP operating earnings were $30.4 million, versus operating earnings of $34.9 million in the prior year quarter.
Revenues in the Asia Pacific region totalled $193.6 million compared to $219.1 million in the prior year quarter, down 12% (3% in local currency). Revenues were impacted by interest rate volatility and ongoing COVID-19 restrictions in several Asian markets, especially China. Adjusted EBITDA was $34.3 million, down 11% (2% in local currency) relative to the prior year quarter. GAAP operating earnings were $29.0 million, versus $35.3 million in the prior year quarter.
Investment Management revenues for the fourth quarter were $121.3 million compared to $79.5 million in the prior year quarter, up 53% (53% in local currency). Passthrough revenue from historical carried interest was $3.6 million in the quarter versus $16.4 million in the prior year quarter. Excluding the impact of carried interest, revenue was up 86% (87% in local currency) driven by (i) acquisitions and (ii) management fee growth from increased assets under management. Adjusted EBITDA was $53.1 million, up 88% (88% in local currency) over the prior year quarter. GAAP operating loss was $18.8 million in the quarter, versus earnings of $19.8 million in the prior year quarter with the reduction attributable to contingent acquisition consideration related to recent acquisitions. Assets under management were $97.7 billion as of December 31, 2022, up 92% from $51.0 billion as of December 31, 2021.
Unallocated global corporate costs as reported in Adjusted EBITDA were $3.5 million in the fourth quarter, relative to $11.5 million in the prior year with the decrease attributable to a reduction in performance-based compensation expense in the current period. The corporate GAAP operating earnings for the quarter were $11.2 million relative to a loss of $30.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, with the current period benefitting from lower performance-based compensation and the prior year period impacted by contingent acquisition consideration expense.
Segmented Full Year Results
Revenues in the Americas region totalled $2.76 billion for the full year compared to $2.49 billion in the prior year, up 11% (11% in local currency). Revenue growth was led by Outsourcing & Advisory, including Engineering & Design (including recent acquisitions) and Leasing, which benefitted from increased activity in office and industrial asset classes. Capital Markets revenues were impacted by interest rate volatility and market uncertainty which reduced sales brokerage and debt origination activity in the second half of the year. Adjusted EBITDA was $332.3 million, up 12% (13% in local currency) from $296.1 million in the prior year, driven by (i) higher revenues; (ii) the positive impact of recent acquisitions and (iii) an $11.4 million gain on the termination of a lease. GAAP operating earnings were $254.4 million, versus $233.8 million in 2021.
EMEA region revenues were $715.1 million for the full year compared to $672.7 million in the prior year, up 6% (18% in local currency). Revenue growth was led by robust Outsourcing & Advisory and Leasing activity while Capital Markets revenues were impacted by interest rate volatility and geopolitical uncertainty in the region during the year. Adjusted EBITDA was $68.5 million, down 17% (9% in local currency) versus $82.5 million in the prior year on changes in service mix. GAAP operating earnings were $9.9 million as compared to $59.6 million in 2021.
The Asia Pacific region generated revenues of $608.5 million for the full year compared to $673.7 million in the prior year, down 10% (3% in local currency). Revenues were primarily impacted by COVID-19 restrictions in several Asian markets, particularly China, which extended through most of the year. Adjusted EBITDA was $85.1 million, down 11% (3% in local currency) versus $95.2 million in the prior year. GAAP operating earnings were $72.3 million, versus $82.0 million in the prior year.
Investment Management revenues were $378.9 million compared to $252.9 million in the prior year, up 50% (50% in local currency). Pass-through revenue from historical carried interest represented $30.3 million in the current year, versus $35.0 million in the prior year. Excluding the impact of pass-through revenue, revenues were up 60% (61% in local currency) and were positively impacted by (i) acquisitions and (ii) fundraising across all investment strategies which led to increased management fees. Adjusted EBITDA was $146.0 million, up 53% (54% in local currency), relative to $95.1 million in the prior year. GAAP operating earnings were $37.1 million, versus $63.7 million in 2021, with the reduction attributable to contingent acquisition consideration expense related to recent acquisitions.
Unallocated global corporate costs as reported in Adjusted EBITDA were $1.4 million in 2022, relative to $24.7 million in the prior year primarily driven by a reduction in performance-based compensation expense. The corporate GAAP operating loss was $41.1 million, relative to $570.6 million in 2021, with the prior year impacted by the settlement of the LTIA.
Outlook for 2023
For 2023, the Company expects robust growth (including the impact of recent acquisitions) in its high value recurring service lines, Investment Management and Outsourcing & Advisory. Leasing revenues are expected to remain steady. Interest rate driven volatility and ongoing geopolitical tensions are expected to continue to impact Capital Markets activity, particularly during the first half of 2023 and moderate through the second half. The Company expects higher Adjusted EBITDA margins in 2023, primarily due to the change in business mix (greater proportion of Adjusted EBITDA coming from high-margin Investment Management) as well as cost control measures applied across the Company. Adjusted EPS growth is expected to be impacted by increased interest costs as well as a larger proportion of earnings growth generated from non-wholly owned operations.
The outlook for 2023, including the full year impact of acquisitions completed during 2022, is as follows:
| Measure | 2022 | 2023 Outlook | |
| Revenue | $4.5 billion | $4.6 billion - $4.8 billion | |
| AEBITDA | $630.5 million | $710 million - $750 million | |
| AEPS | $6.99 | $7.50 - $8.00 | |
The financial outlook is based on the Company’s best available information as of the date of this press release, and remains subject to change based on, but not limited to, numerous macroeconomic, health, social, geopolitical and related factors.

Notes
Non-GAAP Measures
1. Reconciliation of net earnings to adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net earnings, adjusted to exclude: (i) income tax; (ii) other expense (income); (iii) interest expense; (iv) settlement of LTIA; (v) loss on disposal of operations; (vi) depreciation and amortization, including amortization of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”); (vii) gains attributable to MSRs; (viii) acquisition-related items (including contingent acquisition consideration fair value adjustments, contingent acquisition consideration-related compensation expense and transaction costs); (ix) restructuring costs and (x) stock-based compensation expense. We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our own operating performance and our ability to service debt, as well as an integral part of our planning and reporting systems. Additionally, we use this measure in conjunction with discounted cash flow models to determine the Company’s overall enterprise valuation and to evaluate acquisition targets. We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure because we believe such measure is useful to investors as a reasonable indicator of operating performance because of the low capital intensity of the Company’s service operations. We believe this measure is a financial metric used by many investors to compare companies, especially in the services industry. This measure is not a recognized measure of financial performance under GAAP in the United States, and should not be considered as a substitute for operating earnings, net earnings or cash flow from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our method of calculating adjusted EBITDA may differ from other issuers and accordingly, this measure may not be comparable to measures used by other issuers. A reconciliation of net earnings to adjusted EBITDA appears below.

2. Reconciliation of net earnings and diluted net earnings per common share to adjusted net earnings and adjusted EPS
Adjusted EPS is defined as diluted net earnings per share as calculated under the “if-converted” method, adjusted for the effect, after income tax, of: (i) the non-controlling interest redemption increment; (ii) settlement of LTIA; (iii) loss on disposal of operations; (iv) amortization expense related to intangible assets recognized in connection with acquisitions and MSRs; (v) gains attributable to MSRs; (vi) acquisition-related items; (vii) restructuring costs and (viii) stock-based compensation expense. We believe this measure is useful to investors because it provides a supplemental way to understand the underlying operating performance of the Company and enhances the comparability of operating results from period to period. Adjusted EPS is not a recognized measure of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered as a substitute for diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations, as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our method of calculating this non-GAAP measure may differ from other issuers and, accordingly, this measure may not be comparable to measures used by other issuers. A reconciliation of net earnings to adjusted net earnings and of diluted net earnings per share to adjusted EPS appears below.
Adjusted EPS is calculated using the “if-converted” method of calculating earnings per share in relation to the Convertible Notes, which were issued on May 19, 2020. As such, the interest (net of tax) on the Convertible Notes is added to the numerator and the additional shares issuable on conversion of the Convertible Notes are added to the denominator of the earnings per share calculation to determine if an assumed conversion is more dilutive than no assumption of conversion. The “if-converted” method is used if the impact of the assumed conversion is dilutive. The “if-converted” method is dilutive for the adjusted EPS calculation for all periods presented.

Free cash flow is defined as net cash flow from operating activities plus contingent acquisition consideration paid, plus the cash portion of the LTIA settlement, less purchases of fixed assets, plus cash collections on AR Facility deferred purchase price. We use free cash flow as a measure to evaluate and monitor operating performance as well as our ability to service debt, fund acquisitions and pay of dividends to shareholders and distributions to non-controlling interests. We present free cash flow as a supplemental measure because we believe this measure is a financial metric used by many investors to compare valuation and liquidity measures across companies, especially in the services industry. This measure is not a recognized measure of financial performance under GAAP in the United States, and should not be considered as a substitute for operating earnings, net earnings or cash flow from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our method of calculating free cash flow may differ from other issuers and accordingly, this measure may not be comparable to measures used by other issuers. A reconciliation of net cash flow from operating activities to free cash flow appears below.

4. Local currency revenue and AEBITDA growth rate and internal revenue growth rate measures
Percentage revenue and AEBITDA variances presented on a local currency basis are calculated by translating the current period results of our non-US dollar denominated operations to US dollars using the foreign currency exchange rates from the periods against which the current period results are being compared. Percentage revenue variances presented on an internal growth basis are calculated assuming no impact from acquired entities in the current and prior periods. Revenue from acquired entities, including any foreign exchange impacts, are treated as acquisition growth until the respective anniversaries of the acquisitions. We believe that these revenue growth rate methodologies provide a framework for assessing the Company’s performance and operations excluding the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and acquisitions. Since these revenue growth rate measures are not calculated under GAAP, they may not be comparable to similar measures used by other issuers.
5. Assets under management
We use the term assets under management (“AUM”) as a measure of the scale of our Investment Management operations. AUM is defined as the gross market value of operating assets and the projected gross cost of development assets of the funds, partnerships and accounts to which we provide management and advisory services, including capital that such funds, partnerships and accounts have the right to call from investors pursuant to capital commitments. Our definition of AUM may differ from those used by other issuers and as such may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other issuers.
6. Adjusted EBITDA from recurring revenue percentage
Adjusted EBITDA from recurring revenue percentage is computed on a trailing twelve-month basis and represents the proportion of adjusted EBITDA (note 1) that is derived from Outsourcing & Advisory and Investment Management service lines. Both these service lines represent medium to long-term duration revenue streams that are either contractual or repeatable in nature. Adjusted EBITDA for this purpose is calculated in the same manner as for our debt agreement covenant calculation purposes, incorporating the expected full year impact of business acquisitions and dispositions.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings
(1) Acquisition-related items include contingent acquisition consideration fair value adjustments, contingent acquisition consideration-related compensation expense and transaction costs.
(2) Settlement of Long-Term Incentive Arrangement with the Company’s Chairman & CEO as approved by 95% of the Company’s disinterested shareholders. The settlement resulted in a cash payment of $96,186 and the issuance of 3,572,858 Subordinate Voting Shares on April 16, 2021.
(3) Diluted EPS is calculated using the “if-converted” method of calculating earnings per share in relation to the Convertible Notes, which were issued on May 19, 2020. As such, the interest (net of tax) on the Convertible Notes is added to the numerator and the additional shares issuable on conversion of the Convertible Notes are added to the denominator of the earnings per share calculation to determine if an assumed conversion is more dilutive than no assumption of conversion. The “if-converted” method is used if the impact of the assumed conversion is dilutive. The “if-converted” method is anti-dilutive for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Other Non - GAAP Measures Colliers 19 Local currency revenue and AEBITDA growth rate and internal revenue growth rate measures Percentage revenue and AEBITDA variances presented on a local currency basis are calculated by translating the current period results of our non - US dollar denominated operations to US dollars using the foreign currency exchange rates from the periods against which the current period results are being compared . Percentage revenue variances presented on an internal growth basis are calculated assuming no impact from acquired entities in the current and prior periods . Revenue from acquired entities, including any foreign exchange impacts, are treated as acquisition growth until the respective anniversaries of the acquisitions . We believe that these revenue growth rate methodologies provide a framework for assessing the Company’s performance and operations excluding the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and acquisitions . Since these revenue growth rate measures are not calculated under GAAP, they may not be comparable to similar measures used by other issuers . Assets under management We use the term assets under management (“AUM”) as a measure of the scale of our Investment Management operations . AUM is defined as the gross market value of operating assets and the projected gross cost of development assets of the funds, partnerships and accounts to which we provide management and advisory services, including capital that such funds, partnerships and accounts have the right to call from investors pursuant to capital commitments . Our definition of AUM may differ from those used by other issuers and as such may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other issuers . Fee paying assets under management We use the term fee paying assets under management (“FPAUM”) to represent only the AUM on which the Company is entitled to receive management fees . We believe this measure is useful in providing additional insight into the capital base upon which the Company earns management fees . Our definition of FPAUM may differ from those used by other issuers and as such may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other issuers . Recurring revenue percentage Recurring revenue percentage is computed on a trailing twelve - month basis and represents the proportion that is derived from Out sourcing & Advisory and Investment Management service lines. Both these service lines represent medium to long - term duration revenue streams that are either contra ctual or repeatable in nature. Revenue for this purpose incorporates the expected full year impact of acquisitions and dispositions. Adjusted EBITDA from recurring revenue percentage Adjusted EBITDA from recurring revenue percentage is computed on a trailing twelve - month basis and represents the proportion of adjusted EBITDA that is derived from Outsourcing & Advisory and Investment Management service lines. Both these service lines represent medium to long - term duration revenue streams that are either contractual or repeatable in nature. Adjusted EBITDA for this purpose is calculated in the same manner as calculated for our deb t agreement covenant calculation purposes, incorporating the expected full year impact of business acquisitions and dispositions.
