CBRE Group, Inc. Reports Financial Results for Second-Quarter 2021 <\/b><\/p>\n

EPS Rises to $1.30 (GAAP) and $1.36 (Adjusted)<\/b><\/p>\n

DALLAS–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nCBRE Group, Inc. (NYSE:CBRE) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAs our results for the second quarter demonstrate, CBRE continues to benefit from the multi-year efforts to diversify our business. The commercial real estate market has offered up significant opportunity to diversify across asset type, business lines, client type and geography. We have moved decisively to capitalize on this opportunity and are making investments and driving organic growth initiatives that will continue this trend,\u201d said Bob Sulentic, president and chief executive officer of CBRE. \u201cOur agreement to acquire a majority interest in Turner & Townsend is an excellent example. Turner & Townsend has a great brand and management team, operating in sectors with favorable long-term growth profiles that will advance diversification across the four dimensions of our business.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cOur growth in the second quarter was strong, even compared with prior peak-year performance in 2019. Adjusted EBITDA grew at a better than 20% compound rate from second-quarter 2019 with strong growth across all three business segments. Each segment experienced significant margin expansion over this period,\u201d he continued.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe Advisory Services segment rebounded strongly compared with second-quarter 2020, when the Covid pandemic suppressed business activity around the world. Second-quarter 2021 performance was very strong globally, with significantly higher revenue across all lines of business. This revenue growth, coupled with cost actions taken in 2020 and approximately $7 million of incremental Covid-related expenses in the prior-year period, led to a more than doubling of segment operating profit.\n<\/p>\n

\nCapital markets activity led the segment\u2019s recovery. Global property sales revenue surged 152% (142% local currency), from especially weak levels of last year\u2019s second quarter. Impressively, global sales revenue was 27% above the second-quarter 2019 level. Internationally, the United Kingdom, Japan and Australia posted the sharpest gains compared with last year\u2019s second quarter, while the United States posted a 163% increase over this period. In a rebounding United States investment sales market, CBRE market share improved 210 basis points from last year\u2019s second quarter, according to Real Capital Analytics data.\n<\/p>\n

\nCommercial mortgage origination revenue also improved significantly, rising 61% (60% local currency) from second-quarter 2020. Lending activity picked up dramatically across all commercial capital sources in step with the revival of investment market activity, particularly for industrial and multifamily assets. The Government-Sponsored Enterprises remained a steady source of debt capital for multifamily properties, particularly affordable housing.\n<\/p>\n

\nLeasing revenue rose 33% (29% local currency) compared with last year\u2019s second quarter but remained about 18% below the 2019 level. While overall leasing activity rebounded in the United States, with revenue up 24% compared with second-quarter 2020, it remained 30% lower than second-quarter 2019. International markets were generally stronger with Australia, Continental Europe and the United Kingdom each posting growth rates in excess of 50% versus second-quarter 2020. Industrial properties once again set the pace for growth, while office leasing continued to improve. Notably, overall leasing revenue in EMEA and APAC rose by double digits compared with second-quarter 2019.\n<\/p>\n

\nRevenue growth from other Advisory Services business lines was also strong. Loan servicing revenue increased 16% (same local currency) for the quarter. The loan servicing portfolio totaled approximately $294 billion at quarter\u2019s end, up 20% over the past year. Valuation revenue rose 38% (29% local currency), reflecting the recovery of property markets. Property management net revenue continued to grow steadily, rising over 6% (1% in local currency).\n<\/p>\n

\nThe GWS segment posted solid revenue and segment operating profit growth across its global business base.\n<\/p>\n

\nFacilities management, which is largely contractual, saw net revenue rise 10% (6% local currency), with strong growth within data centers and local facilities management. Project management benefited from a continued rebound in construction activity, which helped to fuel 15% (11% local currency) net revenue growth.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe new business pipeline continues to have strong representation across client and property types that are benefiting from secular shifts accelerated by Covid, such as life sciences, technology and logistics companies, as well as growing demand for data center management.\n<\/p>\n

\nStrong revenue growth, combined with ongoing prudent cost management, led to a robust increase in segment operating profit. The segment\u2019s overall margin on net revenue expanded over 180 basis points. The prior-year second quarter also included approximately $17 million for Covid-related expenditures.\n<\/p>\n

\nOn July 27, 2021, CBRE announced an agreement to acquire a 60% ownership interest in Turner & Townsend Holdings Limited, a global leader in program management, project management and cost consulting, for approximately $1.3 billion. The acquisition is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2021, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. Upon completion of the transaction, Turner & Townsend\u2019s financial results will be consolidated and reported in CBRE\u2019s GWS segment.\n<\/p>\n

\nStrong performance in both development services and investment management spurred elevated REI segment operating profit growth.\n<\/p>\n

\nU.S. real estate development operating profit (10)<\/sup> surged to nearly $122 million, from $11 million in the prior year, a quarterly record for the company. The robust performance was fueled by large office assets that commanded strong valuations due to the high quality of the assets and the tenancy. The U.K. multifamily development business (Telford Homes) showed continued recovery from the negative effects of Covid-19. Its net operating loss (10)<\/sup> for the quarter narrowed to approximately $2 million versus $11 million in the prior-year second quarter.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe in-process development portfolio ended the quarter at $15.2 billion, up $0.2 billion from first-quarter 2021 \u2013 a record level for the company. The pipeline increased by $2.8 billion from first-quarter 2021 to $9.6 billion, largely driven by fee-based office and industrial work for blue-chip occupier clients.\n<\/p>\n

\nInvestment management revenue surged 35% (26% local currency) to $139 million, driven by significantly higher asset management and incentive\/development fees, as well as carried interest. Operating profit (13)<\/sup> rose 38% (27% local currency) to $45 million, reflecting revenue gains, prudent cost management, and the higher carried interest.\n<\/p>\n

\nAssets under management ended the quarter at $129.1 billion, a record high for the company and an increase of $4.6 billion ($4.1 billion local currency) from first-quarter 2021. The increase reflected higher asset valuations, net capital inflows and favorable foreign currency movement.\n<\/p>\n

\nHana, the company\u2019s startup flexible workspace business, completed its integration with Industrious National Management Company LLC (Industrious), during the second quarter. CBRE retains financial responsibility for four legacy Hana units, which will be reported in the Real Estate Investments segment. The financial impact of the company\u2019s Industrious investment will be reported within the Advisory Services segment.\n<\/p>\n

Corporate and Other Segment<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\nCorporate segment expense, which primarily reflects overhead costs, declined to $69.5 million from $87.0 million in the prior-year quarter. Costs in the prior-year quarter were elevated due to approximately $17 million of incremental Covid-related expenses and a charitable contribution in support of Covid relief efforts as well as severance costs associated with the company\u2019s workforce optimization. The 2021 second quarter benefited from approximately $10 million of venture investment gains and the effect of cost-structure improvement activities undertaken in 2020. These benefits were partially offset by higher incentive compensation expense, which had been significantly reduced in the prior-year quarter due to Covid\u2019s impact on business activity.\n<\/p>\n

Adjustments to GAAP Net Income and Earnings Per Share<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\nAdjustments to GAAP net income totaled $20.2 million on a net basis. This included approximately $27.0 million of favorable pre-tax adjustments, including $17.2 million of non-cash acquisition-related depreciation and amortization; $8.1 million of integration and other costs related to acquisitions; $1.7 million of investment management carried interest incentive compensation expense to align with the timing of associated carried interest revenue, along with an unfavorable pre-tax adjustment of $(0.4) million related to fair value adjustments on real estate assets acquired in the Telford Homes acquisition; and a $6.5 million net tax adjustment associated with the aforementioned pre-tax adjustments.\n<\/p>\n

\nGAAP net income increased 441% (414% local currency) to $443 million and earnings per share increased 437% (411% local currency) to $1.30, compared with the prior-year period. Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share increased 293% (274% local currency) and 290.6% (271.3% local currency) to $462.9 million and $1.36, respectively, compared with the prior-year period. The 2020 second quarter included the previously mentioned $38 million of costs associated with workforce optimization efforts and more than $40 million of incremental costs and donations related to the Covid-19 pandemic.\n<\/p>\n
