Revenue
Fourth-quarter revenue increased 10% compared with the prior-year quarter. Collectively, Transactional revenues grew 15%, led by Investment Sales, Debt/Equity Advisory and Other, within Capital Markets Services, up 26% (excluding the impact of non-cash MSR and mortgage banking derivative activity), and Leasing, within Leasing Advisory, up 17%, partially offset by the expected, lower Incentive Fees within Investment Management.

Fourth Quarter
For the quarter, higher Adjusted EBITDA and margin were primarily driven by Leasing Advisory and Capital Markets Services, fueled by strong Transactional revenue growth, with meaningful contributions from Real Estate Management Services. All segments reflected enhanced platform leverage and continued cost discipline. In addition, an approximate $25 million adverse impact for the quarter associated with a U.S. employee healthcare actuarial deficit, driven by a significant uptick in claims during the fourth quarter, was largely offset by discrete cost management actions.
For the fourth quarter, the most meaningful difference between net income attributable to common shareholders and non-GAAP measures was the change in equity earnings/losses (Investment Management and Proptech Investments), as net equity earnings of $3.3 million increased notably from the net $53.0 million of aggregate equity losses in 2024.
In addition, the provision for income taxes increased $37.5 million for the fourth quarter as higher earnings before taxes outpaced the slight decline in the company's ETR. Interest expense, net of interest income, improved by $8.4 million for the quarter, primarily due to lower average borrowings.
Full Year
Drivers of full-year profit and margin expansion were largely consistent with the fourth-quarter drivers with the most significant contributions coming from Leasing Advisory and Capital Markets.
The following were the most meaningful differences between full-year net income attributable to common shareholders and non-GAAP measures:
- Restructuring and acquisition charges: The expense was $52.2 million higher, compared with 2024, primarily due to significantly lower decreases to earn-out liabilities as well as higher severance and other employment-related charges.
- Equity earnings/losses - Investment Management and Proptech Investments: Aggregate equity losses of $25.8 million, an improvement from the $76.4 million of aggregate equity losses in 2024.
- Amortization of intangibles: The expense was $15.1 million lower, compared with 2024, as certain intangible assets fully amortized in the trailing twelve months.

In addition, the provision for income taxes increased $57.0 million for the year as higher earnings before taxes outpaced the slight decline in the company's ETR. Interest expense, net of interest income, improved by $29.6 million for the year, primarily due to lower average borrowings with meaningful contributions from a lower average interest rate.
The following charts reflect the aggregation of segment Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter and full year; refer to the segment performance highlights for further detail. As noted in Note 7, Proptech Investments are presented outside of reporting segments in "All Other" and not included within segment Adjusted EBITDA. Therefore, the aggregation of segment Adjusted EBITDA does not sum to consolidated totals.

Cash Flows and Capital Allocation:
| ($ in millions) | Three Months Ended December 31, | | Year Ended December 31, |
| 2025 | | 2024 | Change in USD | | 2025 | | 2024 | Change in USD | |
| Cash flows from operating activities | $1,011.8 | | $927.3 | 9% | | $1,194.1 | | $785.3 | 52% |
| Free Cash Flow | 934.6 | | 868.1 | 8% | | 978.5 | | 599.8 | 63% |
Incremental cash inflow in the fourth quarter was primarily attributable to higher cash provided by earnings. For the full year, the increase was driven by (i) higher cash provided by earnings, (ii) the absence of cash outflow associated with a 2024 loan repurchased from Fannie Mae together with cash proceeds in 2025 from the sale of the repurchased loan's underlying asset and (iii) lower cash taxes paid.
Share repurchase activity is noted in the following table. As of December 31, 2025, $801.7 million remained authorized for repurchase.
| Three Months Ended December 31, | Year Ended December 31, |
|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 |

| Total number of shares repurchased (in thousands) | 256.3 | | 75.2 | | 747.5 | | 373.1 | |
| Total paid for shares repurchased (in millions) | $80.3 | | $20.1 | | $211.5 | | $80.4 | |
Net Debt, Leverage and Liquidity:
| December 31, 2025 | September 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 |

| Net Debt (in millions) | $304.2 | | $1,098.6 | | $800.6 | |

| Corporate Liquidity (in millions) | $3,899.1 | | $3,542.9 | | $3,616.3 | |
The lower Net Debt, compared with September 30, 2025, was driven by strong free cash flow for the fourth quarter. The Net Debt reduction from December 31, 2024, reflected improved free cash flow in 2025, compared with 2024.
In addition to the Corporate Liquidity detailed above, the company maintains a commercial paper program (the "Program") with $2.5 billion authorized for issuance.
As of December 31, 2025, there was no outstanding commercial paper and no outstanding balance on the company's credit facility.

Real Estate Management Services revenue growth was primarily driven by Workplace Management and Project Management. Within Workplace Management, the increase reflected a largely balanced mix of mandate expansions and new client wins (with expansions having a more significant impact on fourth-quarter performance). Management fees within Workplace Management were also impacted by approximately $11 million of higher pass-through costs, compared with the prior-year quarter, associated with the U.S. employee healthcare actuarial deficit. Project Management delivered double-digit growth for both the quarter and full year, with broad-based contributions from most geographies. In addition, higher pass-through costs augmented a high single-digit management fee increase for the quarter (a low double-digit management fee increase for the full year).
Fourth-quarter and full-year Adjusted EBITDA and margin expansion was, in part, driven by the revenue growth described above. In addition, an approximate $20 million adverse bottom-line impact for the quarter associated with the U.S. employee healthcare actuarial deficit (approximately $22 million impact for the full year) was largely offset by discrete cost management actions.

The increases in Leasing Advisory revenue for the fourth quarter and full year were attributable to Leasing, led by continued momentum in the office sector. Many geographies achieved double-digit Leasing revenue growth for the quarter, with the most significant growth in the U.S. as well as notable contributions from India and the UK. For the full year, growth leaders included the U.S., Germany and Canada. Broad-based growth across the U.S. was primarily driven by office - as an increase in average deal size complemented higher volume - and industrial, due to higher deal volume. Office Leasing revenue growth outperformed global office volumes (up 26% compared with market volumes up 1% according to JLL Research), highlighted by U.S. outperformance (revenue up 28% compared with market volumes up 4% according to JLL Research).
Higher fourth-quarter and full-year Adjusted EBITDA were largely driven by revenue growth coupled with incremental platform leverage. Fourth-quarter Adjusted EBITDA was also positively impacted by the year-over-year timing of incentive compensation accruals.

Capital Markets Services top-line growth, for both the fourth quarter and full year, was fueled by investment sales and debt advisory transactions across nearly all sectors, with the most significant contributions coming from multifamily and office. Specific to the fourth quarter, investment sales and debt advisory achieved 27% and 20% growth, respectively, complementing strong fourth-quarter 2024 performance to achieve 63% and 90% growth, respectively, on a two-year stacked basis. Geographically, the increase in fourth-quarter revenue was led by the U.S., UK and Japan. On a full-year basis, the growth was led by the U.S., UK and Spain. Globally, investment sales revenues were up 27% (21% for the full year), significantly outpacing the broader investment sales market, which grew 14% over the same period (18% for the full year) according to JLL Research.
The Adjusted EBITDA improvement for the fourth quarter and full year was largely attributable to transactional revenue growth, described above, together with improved platform leverage.

The decrease in Investment Management revenue for the fourth quarter and full year was primarily due to the lower incentive fees, as expected. Transaction fees increased compared with the prior-year quarter and prior year, reflecting improved transaction volume in multiple geographies. Advisory fees remained relatively steady on a fourth-quarter and full-year basis, as growth in North America offset lower contributions from Asia Pacific.
The decrease in fourth-quarter Adjusted EBITDA and margin primarily reflected the expected, lower incentive fees noted above, net of the correlated decrease in variable incentive compensation costs. The full-year changes in Adjusted EBITDA and margin were also driven by the decrease in incentive fees, net of variable incentive compensation costs, as well as the prior-year benefit from an $8.2 million gain recognized in the second quarter of 2024 following the purchase of a controlling interest in a LaSalle-managed fund.

The improvement in Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter and full year was driven by the increased revenue described above and cost management actions.

Financial Statement Notes
1. Management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to develop budgets and forecasts, measure and reward performance against those budgets and forecasts, and enhance comparability to prior periods. These measures are believed to be useful to investors and other external stakeholders as supplemental measures of core operating performance and include the following:
(i)Adjusted EBITDA attributable to common shareholders ("Adjusted EBITDA"),
(ii)Adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders and Adjusted diluted earnings per share,
(iii)Free Cash Flow (refer to Note 6),
(iv)Net Debt (refer to Note 6) and
(v)Percentage changes against prior periods, presented on a local currency basis.
However, non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered alternatives to measures determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Any measure that eliminates components of a company’s capital structure, cost of operations or investments, or other results has limitations as a performance measure. In light of these limitations, management also considers GAAP financial measures and does not rely solely on non-GAAP financial measures. Because the company's non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Adjustments to GAAP Financial Measures Used to Calculate non-GAAP Financial Measures
Net Non-Cash Mortgage Servicing Rights ("MSR") and Mortgage Banking Derivative Activity consists of the balances presented within Revenue composed of (i) derivative gains/losses resulting from mortgage banking loan commitment and warehousing activity and (ii) gains recognized from the retention of MSR upon origination and sale of mortgage loans, offset by (iii) amortization of MSR intangible assets over the period that net servicing income is projected to be received. Non-cash derivative gains/losses resulting from mortgage banking loan commitment and warehousing activity are calculated as the estimated fair value of loan commitments and subsequent changes thereof, primarily represented by the estimated net cash flows associated with future servicing rights. MSR gains and corresponding MSR intangible assets are calculated as the present value of estimated cash flows over the estimated mortgage servicing periods. The above activity is reported entirely within Revenue of the Capital Markets Services segment. Excluding net non-cash MSR and mortgage banking derivative activity reflects how the company manages and evaluates performance because the excluded activity is non-cash in nature.
Restructuring and Acquisition Charges primarily consist of: (i) severance and employment-related charges, including those related to external service providers, incurred in conjunction with a structural business shift, which can be represented by a notable change in headcount, change in leadership or transformation of business processes; (ii) acquisition, transaction and integration-related charges, including fair value adjustments, which are generally non-cash in the periods such adjustments are made, to assets and liabilities recorded in purchase accounting such as earn-out liabilities and intangible assets; and (iii) lease exit charges. Such activity is excluded as the amounts are generally either non-cash in nature or the anticipated benefits from the expenditures would not likely be fully realized until future periods. Restructuring and acquisition charges are excluded from segment operating results and therefore are not line items in the segments’ reconciliation to Adjusted EBITDA.
Amortization of Acquisition-Related Intangibles is primarily associated with the fair value ascribed at closing of an acquisition to assets such as acquired management contracts, customer backlog and relationships, and trade name. Such activity is excluded as it is non-cash and the change in period-over-period activity is generally the result of longer-term strategic decisions and therefore not necessarily indicative of core operating results.
Interest on Employee Loans, Net of Forgiveness reflects interest accrued on employee loans less the amount of accrued interest forgiven. Certain employees (predominantly in Leasing Advisory and Capital Markets Services businesses) receive cash payments structured as loans, with interest. Employees earn forgiveness of the loan based on performance, generally calculated as a percentage of revenue production. Such forgiven amounts are reflected in Compensation and benefits expense. Given the interest accrued on these employee loans and subsequent forgiveness are non-cash and the amounts perfectly offset over the life of the loan, the activity is not indicative of core operating performance and is excluded from non-GAAP measures.
Equity Earnings/Losses (Investment Management and Proptech Investments) primarily reflects valuation changes on investments reported at fair value. Investments reported at fair value are increased or decreased each reporting period by the change in the fair value of the investment. Where the measurement alternative has been elected, our investment is increased or decreased upon observable price changes. Such activity is excluded as the amounts are generally non‑cash in nature and not indicative of core operating performance.
Note: Equity earnings/losses for segments other than Investment Management represent the results of unconsolidated operating ventures (not investments), and therefore the amounts are included in adjusted profit measures on both a segment and consolidated basis.
Credit Losses on Convertible Note Investments reflects credit impairments associated with pre-equity convertible note investments in early-stage proptech enterprises. Such losses are similar to the equity investment-related losses included in equity earnings/losses for Proptech Investments and are therefore consistently excluded from adjusted measures.

(a) This adjustment excludes the noncontrolling interest portion which is not attributable to common shareholders.
(b) For all quarters during 2025 and the first half and fourth quarter of 2024, the tax impact of adjusted items was calculated using the applicable statutory rates by tax jurisdiction. For the third quarter of 2024, the tax impact of adjusted items was calculated using the consolidated effective tax rate, as this was deemed to approximate the tax impact of adjusted items calculated using applicable statutory tax rates.
Operating Results - Local Currency
In discussing operating results, the company refers to percentage changes in local currency, unless otherwise noted. Amounts presented on a local currency basis are calculated by translating the current period results of foreign operations to U.S. dollars using the foreign currency exchange rates from the comparative period. Management believes this methodology provides a framework for assessing performance and operations excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations.
The following table reflects the reconciliation to local currency amounts for consolidated (i) Revenue, (ii) Operating income and (iii) Adjusted EBITDA.
