“Lower third quarter core earnings-per-share reflected a sharp deterioration in the macro environment, particularly with regard to capital availability for transactions,” said Bob Sulentic, CBRE president and chief executive officer. “Nevertheless, core earnings-per-share was well above any third quarter in our history, except for last year’s especially strong result – even in light of a seven-cent drag in this year’s quarter from foreign currency effects. This underscores the resiliency we’ve built into the business.

“In contrast with last year’s strong third quarter, the capital markets environment weakened materially after Labor Day, causing both sales and loan originations to fall sharply. Unlike sales and financing, leasing performed very well, led by office. Parts of our business that are more resilient or secularly favored, including occupier outsourcing, valuations, property management, loan servicing, investment management and project management, posted solid results for the quarter.”

Note: all percent changes cited are vs. third-quarter 2021, except where noted.

Property Leasing

  • Leasing activity continued to rebound in most global markets with revenue rising 14% (17% local currency).
  • The Americas paced the growth with leasing revenue up 19% (same in local currency).
  • Significant foreign currency headwinds masked strong growth in overseas markets. Combined EMEA/APAC leasing revenue was flat in U.S. dollars but rose 13% in local currency. Growth was notably strong in Continental Europe.
  • Global leasing revenue rose across all major property types, led by office.

Capital Markets

  • A constrained capital environment and difficult comparisons with third-quarter 2021 caused global sales revenue to fall 11% (7% local currency).
  • Investment activity remained strong in international markets. Combined EMEA/APAC sales revenue rose 3% (17% in local currency), with continued strength in Continental Europe and the United Kingdom.
  • In the Americas, sales revenue fell 16% (same local currency), with a notable decline in activity in September following relatively flat performance in July and August.
  • Global sales revenue declined across all major property types, except retail.
  • Most debt capital sources significantly curtailed their lending as the quarter progressed. As a result, global mortgage origination revenue slumped 28% (same local currency).

Other Advisory Business Lines

  • Loan servicing revenue slipped 1% (flat local currency). The servicing portfolio edged up 1% from second-quarter 2022 to approximately $350 billion.
  • Property management net revenue rose 4% (10% local currency).
  • Valuation revenue was flat (up 7% local currency).

  • Net revenue increased 8% (13% local currency), excluding $284 million from Turner & Townsend.

  • Facilities management achieved strong net revenue growth, supported by significant expansion work for existing clients, notably in the technology sector.
  • The GWS new business pipeline rose significantly from second-quarter 2022, with a diversified mix of prospects in the energy, financial and professional services, industrial and technology sectors.
  • Excluding contributions from Turner & Townsend, GWS segment operating profit was up 5% in local currency but decreased 2% in U.S. dollars.

Real Estate Development

  • Operating profit(8) fell by approximately $82 million compared with an especially strong third quarter of 2021. Most of the decline was anticipated due to asset sales being predominantly weighted to this year’s first half versus weighted to last year’s second half. In addition, the timing of some expected third-quarter asset sales slipped to 2023. For the first nine months of 2022, development operating profit was up $110 million from the prior-year period.
  • The in-process portfolio ended the quarter at $19.5 billion, up $0.2 billion from second quarter 2022.
  • The development pipeline increased $2.0 billion from second-quarter 2022 to $13.5 billion, a record level.
  • Industrial and multifamily assets continued to comprise two-thirds of the in-process portfolio.

Investment Management

  • Revenue rose 9% (19% local currency) to $147 million.
  • Growth was driven by higher asset management fee revenue, up 9% (19% local currency), and incentive fees, up 23% (40% local currency).
  • Operating profit decreased 12% (4% local currency) to $43.6 million, due to lower co-investment gains.
  • Assets Under Management (AUM) decreased by $3.0 billion from second-quarter 2022 to $143.9 billion, largely driven by adverse currency movement. In local currency, AUM increased by $2.2 billion.

Corporate and Other Segment

  • Non-core operating profit increased by $177.5 million(9), primarily due to an increase in fair-value adjustments on the company’s investment interest in Altus Power, Inc. (NYSE:AMPS). An increase in the share price during the quarter drove the higher valuation of our equity holdings in Altus Power. The company also converted its warrant position into common shares in the quarter after Altus Power issued a redemption notice for the warrants.
  • Corporate overhead expenses decreased by roughly $26.5 million (21.5)%, driven by lower stock compensation and bonus expense to align with the company’s expected full-year operating performance.

Capital Allocation Overview

  • Free Cash Flow – During the third quarter of 2022, the company’s free cash flow was $689.6 million. This reflected cash from operating activities of $753.9 million, less total capital expenditures of $64.3 million. Net capital expenditures totaled $59.4 million.(10)
  • Stock Repurchase Program – The company repurchased approximately 5.1 million shares for $408.3 million ($80.14 average price per share) during the third quarter of 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, repurchases totaled approximately 16.8 million shares for nearly $1.4 billion ($84.03 average price per share). There was $2.6 billion of capacity remaining under the company’s authorized stock repurchase program as of September 30, 2022.
  • Acquisitions and Investments – During the third quarter of 2022, CBRE completed three in-fill acquisitions for a total of $19.2 million in cash and deferred consideration. In addition, during the third quarter of 2022, the company made a $100 million investment in VTS, a Proptech company that helps leasing agents better serve property owners and enables property managers to create more engaging experiences for building tenants.

Leverage and Financing Overview

  • Leverage – CBRE’s net leverage ratio (net debt(11) to trailing twelve-month core EBITDA) was 0.21x as of September 30, 2022, which is substantially below the company's primary debt covenant of 4.25x. The net leverage ratio is computed as follows (dollars in millions):

The terms “net revenue,” “core adjusted net income,” “core EPS,” “business line operating profit,” “segment operating profit on revenue margin,” “segment operating profit on net revenue margin,” “core EBITDA,” “net debt” and “free cash flow,” all of which CBRE uses in this press release, are non-GAAP financial measures under SEC guidelines, and you should refer to the footnotes below as well as the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section in this press release for a further explanation of these measures. We have also included in that section reconciliations of these measures in specific periods to their most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP for those periods.

Totals may not sum in tables in millions included in this release due to rounding.

(1)

 

Local currency percentage change is calculated by comparing current-period results at prior-period exchange rates versus prior-period results.

(2)

 

Net revenue is gross revenue less costs largely associated with subcontracted vendor work performed for clients. These costs are reimbursable by clients and generally have no margin.

(3)

 

Core adjusted net income and core earnings per diluted share (or core EPS) exclude the effect of select items from GAAP net income and GAAP earnings per diluted share as well as adjust the provision for income taxes and impact on non-controlling interest for such charges. Adjustments during the periods presented included non-cash depreciation and amortization expense related to certain assets attributable to acquisitions, certain carried interest incentive compensation (reversal) expense to align with the timing of associated revenue, the impact of fair value adjustments to real estate assets acquired in the acquisition of Telford Homes plc in 2019 (the Telford acquisition) (purchase accounting) that were sold in the period, costs incurred related to legal entity restructuring, integration and other costs related to acquisitions, asset impairments, provision associated with Telford’s fire safety remediation efforts, and costs associated with efficiency and cost-reduction initiatives. It also removes the fair value changes and related tax impact of certain strategic non-core non-controlling equity investments that are not directly related to our business segments (including venture capital “VC” related investments). Note: Core adjusted EPS has been renamed core EPS for simplicity.

(4)

 

Core EBITDA represents earnings, inclusive of non-controlling interest, before net interest expense, write-off of financing costs on extinguished debt, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, asset impairments, adjustments related to certain carried interest incentive compensation expense (reversal) to align with the timing of associated revenue, fair value adjustments to real estate assets acquired in the Telford acquisition (purchase accounting) that were sold in the period, costs incurred related to legal entity restructuring, integration and other costs related to acquisitions, provision associated with Telford’s fire safety remediation efforts, and costs associated with efficiency and cost-reduction initiatives. It also removes the fair value changes, on a pre-tax basis, of certain strategic non-core non-controlling equity investments that are not directly related to our business segments (including venture capital “VC” related investments).

(5)

 

Free cash flow is calculated as cash flow from operations, less capital expenditures (reflected in the investing section of the consolidated statement of cash flows).

(6)

 

Segment operating profit is the measure reported to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to each segment and assessing performance of each segment. Segment operating profit represents earnings, inclusive of non-controlling interest, before net interest expense, write-off of financing costs on extinguished debt, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and asset impairments, as well as adjustments related to the following: certain carried interest incentive compensation (reversal) expense to align with the timing of associated revenue, fair value adjustments to real estate assets acquired in the Telford acquisition (purchase accounting) that were sold in the period, costs incurred related to legal entity restructuring, integration and other costs related to acquisitions, provision associated with Telford’s fire safety remediation efforts, and costs associated with efficiency and cost-reduction initiatives. The above definition was changed in the fourth quarter of 2021 to include non-controlling interest given the acquisition of Turner & Townsend. Prior period results have been recast to conform to this definition.

(7)

 

Segment operating profit on revenue and net revenue margins represent segment operating profit divided by revenue and net revenue, respectively.

(8)

 

Represents line of business profitability/losses, as adjusted.

(9)

 

Represents difference between net fair value adjustments, pre-tax, recorded on strategic non-core investments of $182.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $4.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021.

(10)

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the company incurred capital expenditures of $64.3 million (reflected in the investing section of the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows) and received tenant concessions from landlords of $4.9 million (reflected in the operating section of the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows).

(11)

 

Net debt is calculated as cash and cash equivalents less total debt (excluding non-recourse debt).

(12)

 

Cash represents cash and cash equivalents (excluding restricted cash).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following measures are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under SEC guidelines:

(i)

 

Net revenue

(ii)

 

Core EBITDA

(iii)

 

Business line operating profit/loss

(iv)

 

Segment operating profit on revenue and net revenue margins

(v)

 

Free cash flow

(vi)

 

Net debt

(vii)

 

Core net income attributable to CBRE Group, Inc. stockholders, as adjusted (which we also refer to as “core adjusted net income”)

(viii)

 

Core EPS

These measures are not recognized measurements under United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). When analyzing our operating performance, investors should use these measures in addition to, and not as an alternative for, their most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Our management generally uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate operating performance and for other discretionary purposes. The company believes these measures provide a more complete understanding of ongoing operations, enhance comparability of current results to prior periods and may be useful for investors to analyze our financial performance because they eliminate the impact of selected charges that may obscure trends in the underlying performance of our business. The company further uses certain of these measures, and believes that they are useful to investors, for purposes described below.

With respect to net revenue, net revenue is gross revenue less costs largely associated with subcontracted vendor work performed for clients. We believe that investors may find this measure useful to analyze the company’s overall financial performance because it excludes costs reimbursable by clients that generally have no margin, and as such provides greater visibility into the underlying performance of our business.

With respect to Core EBITDA, business line operating profit/loss, and segment operating profit on revenue and net revenue margins, the company believes that investors may find these measures useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry because their calculations generally eliminate the accounting effects of acquisitions, which would include impairment charges of goodwill and intangibles created from acquisitions, the effects of financings and income tax and the accounting effects of capital spending. All of these measures may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. In the case of Core EBITDA, this measure is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for our management’s discretionary use because it does not consider cash requirements such as tax and debt service payments. The Core EBITDA measure calculated herein may also differ from the amounts calculated under similarly titled definitions in our credit facilities and debt instruments, which amounts are further adjusted to reflect certain other cash and non-cash charges and are used by us to determine compliance with financial covenants therein and our ability to engage in certain activities, such as incurring additional debt. The company also uses segment operating profit and core EPS as significant components when measuring our operating performance under our employee incentive compensation programs.

With respect to free cash flow, the company believes that investors may find this measure useful to analyze the cash flow generated from operations after accounting for cash outflows to support operations and capital expenditures. With respect to net debt, the company believes that investors use this measure when calculating the company’s net leverage ratio.

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