Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin: We have determined Adjusted EBITDA to be our primary measure of segment profitability. We believe that investors find this measure useful in comparing our operating performance to that of other companies in our industry because these calculations generally eliminate unrealized (gain) loss on investments, net, impairment of investments, loss on disposition, acquisition related costs, cost savings initiatives, non-operating items related to the Greystone JV and other non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes the effects of financings, income taxes and the non-cash accounting effects of depreciation and intangible asset amortization. Adjusted EBITDA margin, a non-GAAP measure of profitability as a percent of revenue, is measured against service line fee revenue.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, Other also includes the release of a non-ordinary course compliance reserve, which when originally accrued in a prior period had been excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA within “Legal and compliance matters”. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, Other also reflects one-time consulting costs associated with the Proposed Redomicile, as well as a portion of non-cash stock-based compensation expense associated with performance-based equity awards granted to four executive officers in 2024. The long-term incentive awards granted to these four executive officers consisted entirely of performance-based awards in 2024 and they provided for a higher maximum payout than typical awards. This award design structure was unique to 2024 and was not utilized in 2025. We therefore excluded a portion of the non-cash stock-based compensation expense associated with those awards from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA to improve the comparability of our operating results for the current period to prior and future periods, due to the unique nature of the 2024 awards and because we do not consider it to be a normal, recurring operating expense.
Current wording
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, Other also reflects one-time consulting costs associated with the Redomiciliation, costs incurred related to transformative system implementations that may take several years to complete, legal fees and costs associated with an antitrust dispute (see Note 11: Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) and a portion of non-cash stock-based compensation expense associated with performance-based equity awards granted to four executive officers in 2024.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, Other also reflects professional services fees associated with discrete offshoring, legal fees and costs associated with an antitrust matter (see Note 10: Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) and one-time legal and consulting costs associated with a secondary offering of our ordinary shares by our former shareholders. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, Other also includes non-cash stock-based compensation expense associated with certain one-time retention awards which vested in February 2024 and bad debt expense driven by a sublessee default.

Revenue of $2.5 billion increased $195.9 million or 9% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, driven by broad strength across all segments and service lines. Capital markets revenue increased 27%, primarily driven by strong performance across all asset classes in the Americas, and as healthy fundamentals, such as improved debt availability and asset pricing corrections, supported a resilient transaction environment across most major markets. Leasing revenue increased 8%, principally due to strength in the office and industrial sectors in the Americas, including a relatively higher number of large transactions, and strength in EMEA. Services revenue increased 3%, primarily driven by higher facilities services and project management revenue, partially offset by the sale of a non-core Services business in August 2024, which accounted for $25.2 million and $20.5 million of facilities management and Gross contract reimbursables revenue, respectively, in the three months ended June 30, 2024. Excluding the impact of this sale, Services and Gross contract reimbursables revenue increased 6% and 15%, respectively, and total revenue increased 11%. In addition, Valuation and other revenue increased 8%.
Current wording
Revenue of $2.6 billion increased $261.7 million or 11% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily driven by strength in the Americas. Leasing revenue increased 9%, principally driven by strong demand for office and industrial leasing in the Americas. Capital markets revenue increased 21%, primarily driven by strong performance across all asset classes in the Americas, and as healthy fundamentals, such as improved debt availability, supported a resilient transaction environment across most major markets, along with growth in EMEA and APAC. Services revenue increased 6%, driven by growth across all sub-service lines, primarily higher facilities services and project management revenue, partially offset by the sale of a non-core Services business in August 2024, which accounted for $9.8 million and $8.6 million of facilities management and Gross contract reimbursables revenue, respectively, in the three months ended September 30, 2024. Excluding the impact of this sale, Services and Gross contract reimbursables revenue increased 7% and 17%, respectively, and total revenue increased 12%. In addition, Valuation and other revenue increased 12%.
Previous wording
Costs of services of $2.0 billion increased $141.8 million or 8% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, principally driven by an increase in employment costs of approximately $100.0 million, including higher commissions as a result of higher brokerage revenue, as well as an increase in third-party consumables and sub-contractor costs of approximately $46.0 million. Cost of services provided to clients increased 5% and Cost of gross contract reimbursables increased 12%.
Current wording
Costs of services of $2.2 billion increased $240.2 million or 13% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, principally driven by an increase in employment costs of approximately $126.0 million, including higher commissions as a result of higher brokerage revenue, and higher salaries and reimbursed employee costs as a result of higher Services revenue. Similarly, third-party consumables and sub-contractor costs increased approximately $100.0 million as a result of higher Services revenue. Cost of services provided to clients increased 11% and Cost of gross contract reimbursables increased 16%.
Previous wording
Operating, administrative and other expenses of $318.3 million increased $24.1 million or 8% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily driven by an increase in employment costs of approximately $19.0 million, including an increase in stock-based compensation expense as a result of the modification of our non-executive chairman’s awards in 2024 (which reduced expense in the prior year period), as well as strategic investments and cost inflation.
Current wording
Operating, administrative and other expenses of $320.6 million increased $6.4 million or 2% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily driven by an increase in employment costs of approximately $22.0 million, including an increase in stock-based compensation expense attributable to improved vesting expectations for certain previously granted performance-based equity awards, as well as strategic investments and cost inflation, partially offset by the impact of our cost savings initiatives.
Previous wording
The Company did not incur any Restructuring, impairment and related charges during the second quarter of 2025. In the second quarter of 2024, Restructuring, impairment and related charges of $17.4 million were primarily driven by a $12.5 million loss on disposition related to the sale of a non-core Services business in the Americas.
Current wording
The Company did not incur any Restructuring, impairment and related charges during the third quarter of 2025. In the third quarter of 2024, Restructuring, impairment and related charges of $14.1 million were primarily driven by a $4.5 million loss on disposition related to the sale of a non-core Services business in the Americas, as well as severance costs of approximately $7.0 million associated with previous cost savings initiatives.
Previous wording
Earnings from equity method investments of $11.3 million decreased $4.7 million or 29% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to a decline of $7.1 million in earnings recognized from our equity method investment in the Greystone JV driven by changes in mix of mortgage loan origination volumes compared to the second quarter of 2024, contributing to a lower value of MSRs, and higher provisions for credit losses for mortgage loans due to expected losses on specific loans, loan repurchases and higher risk-sharing obligations. Changes in expectations and forecasts may materially impact the provision for credit losses in the future. The decline in earnings recognized from the Greystone JV was partially offset by a $3.2 million increase in earnings recognized from our equity method investment in CWVS Holding Limited (the “Onewo JV”) as a result of increased scope of services contracts.
Current wording
Loss from equity method investments was $8.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to earnings from equity method investments of $12.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The $20.7 million decline in (loss) earnings from equity method investments was primarily due to a decline of $16.0 million in earnings recognized from our equity method investment in Cushman Wakefield Greystone LLC (the “Greystone JV”) driven by changes in mix of mortgage loan origination volumes compared to the third quarter of 2024, contributing to a lower value of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”), and higher provisions for credit losses for mortgage loans due to expected losses on specific loans and higher risk-sharing obligations. In the third quarter of 2025, the Greystone JV recorded a non-cash provision for loan losses of $46.1 million, of which the Company recorded $18.5 million based on its 40% equity interest which was included within Loss from equity method investments. Changes in expectations and forecasts may materially impact the provision for loan losses in the future.
Previous wording
Provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $22.0 million on earnings before income taxes of $81.2 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the provision for income taxes was $6.0 million on a loss before income taxes of $9.3 million. The increase in income tax expense compared to the first half of 2024 was primarily driven by the improvement from loss before income taxes to earnings before income taxes, predominately in the U.S. which improved by approximately $89.0 million from the six months ended June 30, 2024, as well as changes in the jurisdictional mix of those earnings resulting in lower non-deductible losses when compared to the same period in 2024.
Current wording
Benefit from income taxes for the third quarter of 2025 was $6.3 million on earnings before income taxes of $45.1 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the provision for income taxes was $19.3 million on earnings before income taxes of $53.0 million. The change from income tax expense to income tax benefit was primarily driven by an approximately $12.5 million release of valuation allowances in the U.K. on certain deferred tax assets, lower earnings before income taxes, as well as changes in the jurisdictional mix of those earnings.
Previous wording
Net income was $59.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to a net loss of $15.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Net income margin was 1.2% compared to a net loss margin of 0.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The $74.5 million improvement in net income was principally driven by growth in our Capital markets and Leasing service lines, as well as the impact of our cost savings initiatives, lower interest expense and lower depreciation and amortization expense. These favorable trends were partially offset by higher stock-based compensation expense, strategic investments, cost inflation and lower earnings recognized from the Greystone JV.
Current wording
Net income of $51.4 million increased by $17.7 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. Net income margin was 2.0% compared to 1.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The $17.7 million increase in net income was principally driven by growth across all service lines, as well as the impact of our cost savings initiatives. Additionally, the loss on disposition recorded in the third quarter of 2024 contributed to the increase from the prior year period. These favorable trends were partially offset by higher stock-based compensation expense, strategic investments, cost inflation and lower earnings recognized from the Greystone JV, as well as a one-time gain from insurance proceeds recognized in the third quarter of 2024.
