Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1: Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) and in conformity with rules applicable to quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2026 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 are unaudited. All adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments, except as otherwise noted) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for these interim periods have been included.
Readers of this unaudited condensed consolidated quarterly financial information should refer to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto of Cushman & Wakefield Ltd. (together with its subsidiaries, “Cushman & Wakefield,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us”) for the year ended December 31, 2025 included in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2025 Annual Report”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and also available on our website (www.cushmanwakefield.com). Certain footnote disclosures that would substantially duplicate those contained in such audited financial statements or which are not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial statement presentation have been condensed or omitted.
Refer to Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report for further discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies and estimates.
Due to seasonality, the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026.
The Company provides for the effects of income taxes on interim financial statements based on estimates of the effective tax rate for the full year, which is based on forecasted income by country and enacted tax rates.
Note 2: New Accounting Pronouncements
The following accounting pronouncements were recently adopted by the Company:
Measurement of Credit Losses
In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets(“ASU 2025-05”). Since the adoption of ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (“ASC 326”), entities have been required to reflect forecasts of future economic conditions when estimating expected credit losses, including when estimating credit losses arising from current accounts receivable and current contract assets. ASU 2025-05 provides an optional practical expedient whereby entities may assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date will not change during the remaining life of current accounts receivable and current contract assets. The expedient may be applied to current accounts receivable and current contract asset balances arising from transactions accounted for under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), including assets acquired in a business combination transaction. The guidance was effective for annual periods that began after December 15, 2025, including interim periods. The Company adopted the ASU effective January 1, 2026, with no impact to its financial position, results of operations or related disclosures.
The following accounting pronouncements have been issued but are not effective for the current reporting period and have not been early adopted by the Company:
SEC Staff Bulletins and Releases
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative, to amend certain disclosure and presentation requirements for a variety of topics within the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). These amendments align the requirements in the ASC to the SEC’s removal of certain disclosure requirements set out in Regulations S-X and S-K. The effective date for each amended topic in the ASC is either the date on which the SEC’s removal of the related disclosure requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective or, if by June 30, 2027 the
SEC has not removed the requirements, the ASU will be removed from the ASC and will not become effective. Early adoption is prohibited. The ASU may result in the elimination of certain disclosure requirements but will have no impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities. This ASU will require a footnote disclosure about specific expenses by requiring entities to disaggregate, in a tabular presentation, certain expense captions presented on the face of our statements of operations. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the ASU will have on its financial statement disclosures and determining the timing of our adoption. This ASU will result in expanded disclosures related to expenses but will have no impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
Business Combinations – Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity
In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity (“ASU 2025-03”). ASU 2025-03 revises the guidance in ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, on identifying the accounting acquirer in a business combination in which the legal acquiree is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) that meets the definition of a business. This ASU requires entities to assess whether a legal acquisition of a VIE should be accounted for as a reverse acquisition, where the legal acquiree is the accounting acquirer, which could impact the form and content of post-combination financial statements, the measurement of goodwill and other matters. Prior to ASU 2025-03, a business combination involving the acquisition of a VIE always resulted in the legal acquirer as the accounting acquirer. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments must be applied prospectively to all business combinations that occur after the adoption date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on its financial statements and related disclosures.
Internal-Use Software
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software(“ASU 2025-06”). ASU 2025-06 modernizes certain aspects of the recognition and disclosure framework for internal-use software costs, including cloud computing arrangements. The ASU removes all references to “development stages” and updates the criteria that must be met for entities to begin capitalizing software costs. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments may be applied prospectively, retrospectively or using a modified prospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on its financial statements and related disclosures.
Derivatives Scope Refinement
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract(“ASU 2025-07”). ASU 2025-07 adds a new scope exception in ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), for certain contracts that are not traded on an exchange and have an underlying that is based on operations or activities specific to one of the parties to the contract. Additionally, the ASU clarifies that when an entity has a right to receive a share-based payment from its customer in exchange for the transfer of goods or services, the share-based payment should be accounted for as noncash consideration within the scope of Topic 606. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted and entities may apply the guidance prospectively or on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on its financial statements and related disclosures.
Hedge Accounting Improvements
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements (“ASU 2025-09”). ASU 2025-09 amends certain aspects of the hedge accounting guidance in ASC 815 to more closely align hedge accounting with the economics of an entity’s risk management activities. The ASU provides guidance on five discrete topics, including topics pertaining to cash flow hedges and the net written option test. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted and entities must apply the ASU prospectively for all hedging relationships as of the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on its financial statements and related disclosures.
Government Grants
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities (“ASU 2025-10”). ASU 2025-10 provides guidance for the recognition, measurement and presentation of government grants, aiming to reduce diversity in practice and improve consistency. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2028, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments may be applied using a modified prospective, modified retrospective or retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on its financial statements and related disclosures.
Interim Reporting Requirements
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements (“ASU 2025-11”). ASU 2025-11 intends to improve the navigability of the guidance in ASC 270, Interim Reporting, and clarifies when it applies. The ASU also provides additional guidance on what disclosures should be provided in interim reporting periods and establishes a principle under which an entity must disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have had material impact on the entity. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted and entities may apply the guidance prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on its financial statements and related disclosures.
Codification Improvements
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, Codification Improvements (“ASU 2025-12”). ASU 2025-12 facilitates updates for a broad range of ASC topics arising from technical corrections, unintended application of the ASC, clarifications and other minor improvements. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim reporting periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted on an issue-by-issue basis and entities may apply the guidance prospectively or on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on its financial statements and related disclosures.
Environmental Credits and Environmental Credit Obligations
In May 2026, the FASB issued ASU 2026-02, Environmental Credits and Environmental Credit Obligations (Topic 818)(“ASU 2026-02”). ASU 2026-02 establishes accounting and disclosure requirements for environmental credits and environmental credit obligations (“ECOs”). Under the guidance, certain environmental credits should be recognized as assets, while others should be expensed as incurred. Recognized environmental credit assets will generally be measured at cost, will not be amortized, and may be subject to impairment testing. ASU 2026-02 also requires the recognition of an ECO liability in certain instances, including when entities are required to remit cash or environmental credits to a regulator. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim reporting periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, and entities should apply the guidance on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on its financial statements and related disclosures.
Note 3: Segment Data
The Company reports its operations through the following segments: (1) Americas, (2) Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) and (3) Asia Pacific (“APAC”). The Americas consists of operations located in the United States, Canada and other markets in North and South America. EMEA includes operations in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”), France, the Netherlands and other markets in Europe and the Middle East. APAC includes operations in Australia, Singapore, India and other markets in the Asia Pacific region.
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) is the profitability metric reported to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), the Chief Executive Officer, for purposes of making decisions about allocation of resources to each segment and assessing performance of each segment. The Company believes that investors find this measure useful in comparing its operating performance to that of other companies in our industry because this measure generally illustrates the underlying performance of the business before unrealized loss (gain) on investments, net; impairment of investments; A/R Securitization (as defined below) servicing liability, fees and amortization; pension buy-out settlement loss; non-operating items related to the Greystone JV (as defined below); 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.
As segment assets are not reported to or used by the CODM to measure business performance or allocate resources, total segment assets and capital expenditures are not presented below.
Effective January 1, 2026, the Company revised the definition of “Cost of gross contract reimbursables” to include reimbursed costs including client-dedicated labor, subcontractor costs and third-party consumables specific to cost-based client contracts. Such costs are now being reported as “Gross contract costs”. The changes are intended to better align the Company’s reporting of financial performance with industry competitors and enhance decision making by the Company’s CODM. In addition, the Company refined the allocation of corporate costs to better align with results from its reportable segments, which impacted previously reported Adjusted EBITDA by segment with no impact to consolidated results. The reporting changes have no impact on the Company’s total revenue, consolidated net income, earnings per share or cash flows for any of the previously reported periods. Following these changes to the segment expense information regularly provided to the CODM, historical financial information for each reportable segment in this and future periodic filings have been, or will be, recast to conform with the revised presentation and definition.
The following tables present financial information for each reportable segment including segment revenue, significant segment expenses, Adjusted EBITDA and related reconciliations (in millions):

Contract Balances
The Company receives payments from customers based upon contractual billing schedules and accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. Contract assets include amounts related to the contractual right to consideration for completed performance obligations not yet available to be invoiced. Contract liabilities are recorded when cash payments are received in advance of performance, including amounts which are refundable.
The following table provides information on contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (in millions):
| As of | ||
|---|---|---|
| June 30, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | |
| Short-term contract assets | $364.2 | $320.9 |
| Contract asset allowances | (20.8) | (19.5) |
| Short-term contract assets, net | 343.4 | 301.4 |
| Non-current contract assets | 58.0 | 63.1 |
| Contract asset allowances | (4.1) | (2.8) |

| Total contract assets, net | $397.3 | $361.7 |
| Contract liabilities included in Accounts payable and accrued expenses | $54.4 | $86.6 |
| Contract liabilities included in Other non-current liabilities | 18.1 | 17.4 |
| Total contract liabilities | $72.5 | $104.0 |
The amount of revenue recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2026 that was included in the contract liabilities balance at the beginning of the period was $67.7 million. The Company had no material impairment charges related to contract assets in the periods presented.
Practical Expedient
The Company incurs incremental costs to obtain new contracts across certain of its service lines. As the amortization period of those expenses is 12 months or less, the Company expenses those incremental costs of obtaining the contracts in accordance with Topic 606.
Remaining performance obligations represent the aggregate transaction prices for contracts where the performance obligations have not yet been satisfied. In accordance with Topic 606, the Company does not disclose unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, (ii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue in the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed and (iii) variable consideration for services performed as a series of daily performance obligations, such as those performed within the Services service line. Performance obligations within such Services contracts represent a significant portion of the Company’s contracts with customers not expected to be completed within 12 months.
Note 6: Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The following table summarizes the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reportable segment (in millions):
| Americas | EMEA | APAC | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Balance as of December 31, 2025 | $1,471.8 | $349.7 | $236.8 | $2,058.3 |
| Effect of movements in exchange rates | (1.9) | (7.1) | 8.7 | (0.3) |
| Balance as of June 30, 2026 | $1,469.9 | $342.6 | $245.5 | $2,058.0 |
Portions of goodwill are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar; therefore, a portion of the movements in the reported book value of these balances is attributable to movements in foreign currency exchange rates.
No impairments of goodwill were recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2026 or 2025.
The following tables summarize the carrying amounts and accumulated amortization of intangible assets (in millions):
| Useful Life (in years) | Gross Value | Accumulated Amortization | Net Value | |

Note 8: Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both business operations and economic conditions, including interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk. To mitigate the impact of interest rate and foreign exchange risk, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments. The Company converts the majority of its overall interest rate exposure on floating rate borrowings to a fixed-rate basis, primarily with interest rate swap agreements. The Company manages exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations primarily through short-term forward contracts.
There have been no significant changes to the interest rate and foreign exchange risk management objectives from those disclosed in the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Interest Rate Derivative Instruments
In June 2026, the Company entered into seven new interest rate swap agreements. The Company concurrently designated these derivative instruments as cash flow hedges.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s interest rate hedging instruments consisted of 18 interest rate swap agreements all designated as cash flow hedges, which included five interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $400.0 million expiring on August 21, 2027, six interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $550.0 million expiring on May 31, 2028, one interest rate swap with a notional amount of $125.0 million expiring on June 29, 2029 andsix interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $425.0 million expiring on June 30, 2029.
The Company had previously elected to terminate certain interest rate swap agreements (or a portion thereof) in November 2022, June 2023 and March 2025. Amounts relating to these terminated derivative instruments recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss were amortized into earnings over the remaining life of the original swap agreements, which expired on August 21, 2025.
The Company records changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and subsequently reclassifies the changes into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were $8.4 million and $1.8 million in pre-tax gains and losses, respectively, included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss related to these agreements, which will be reclassified to Interest expense, net of interest income as interest payments are made in accordance with the Credit Agreement; refer to Note 9: Long-Term Debt and Other Borrowings for discussion of the Credit Agreement (which is defined therein). During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that pre-tax gains of $5.8 million will be reclassified to Interest expense, net of interest income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Non-Designated Foreign Exchange Derivative Instruments
Additionally, the Company enters into short-term forward contracts to mitigate the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates that would adversely impact certain of the Company’s foreign currency denominated transactions and assets. Hedge accounting was not elected for any of these contracts. As such, changes in the fair values of these contracts are recorded directly in earnings. The Company recognized a realized gain of $0.3 million and $6.6 million and an unrealized gain of $0.6 million and $0.3 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. The Company recognized a realized loss of $2.3 million and $3.2 million and an unrealized loss of $0.3 million and $0.6 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had 28 and 26 foreign currency exchange forward contracts outstanding covering a notional amount of $870.8 million and $758.3 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had not posted, and did not hold, any collateral related to these agreements.
The following table presents the fair value of derivatives as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 (in millions):

Credit Agreement
On August 21, 2018, the Company entered into an initial $3.5 billion credit agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), comprised of an initial $2.7 billion senior secured term loan and a revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”).
Term Loans
On June 12, 2026, the Company amended the Credit Agreement to (i) reprice $847.5 million aggregate principal outstanding under a senior secured term loan (as amended, the “2033 Term Loan”), reducing the applicable interest rate from 1-month Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 2.75% to 1-month Term SOFR plus 2.25%, (ii) extend the maturity date of the 2033 Term Loan from January 31, 2030 to June 12, 2033, and (iii) increase the principal amount of the 2033 Term Loan by $352.5 million. The proceeds were used to partially redeem the senior secured notes due in 2028 (discussed below). In connection with the amendment, the Company incurred additional debt transaction costs of $14.5 million, of which $10.0 million were capitalized and amortized over the remaining term of the loan and $4.5 million were recognized directly in Interest expense, net of interest income.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $838.0 million in aggregate principal outstanding under a senior secured term loan due January 31, 2030 (the “2030 Term Loan”) and $1.2 billion in aggregate principal outstanding under the 2033 Term Loan (collectively referred to as the “Term Loans”).
In 2025, the Company amended the Credit Agreement to reprice the Term Loans three times, reducing the applicable interest rates. In connection with the amendments, the Company incurred additional debt transaction costs, a portion of which was capitalized and will be amortized over the remaining terms of the Term Loans and the remainder of which was recognized directly in Interest expense, net of interest income.
The Credit Agreement requires quarterly principal payments equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding borrowings under the Term Loans, including any incremental borrowings. In 2025, the Company elected to prepay a total of $300.0 million in principal outstanding under the Term Loans.
The Term Loans bear interest at a variable rate that the Company may select per the terms of the Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2026, the Company elected to use an annual rate equal to (i) 1-month Term SOFR (subject to a minimum floor of 0.50%), plus 2.50% for the 2030 Term Loan and (ii) 1-month Term SOFR (subject to a minimum floor of 0.50%), plus 2.25% for the 2033 Term Loan. As of June 30, 2026, the effective interest rates were 6.36% and 6.19% for the 2030 Term Loan and the 2033 Term Loan, respectively.
Revolver
As of June 30, 2026, borrowing capacity under the Revolver was $1.0 billion. Borrowings under the Revolver, if any, bear interest at our option, at 1-month Term SOFR, plus an applicable rate varying from 1.75% to 2.75% based on achievement of certain Net Leverage Ratios (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Revolver was undrawn as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 and matures on October 21, 2030.
Senior Secured Notes due 2028
On May 22, 2020, the Company issued $650.0 million of senior secured notes due May 15, 2028 (the “2028 Notes”). Net proceeds from the 2028 Notes were $638.5 million, consisting of a $650.0 million aggregate principal amount less $11.5 million from issuance costs. The 2028 Notes were offered in a private placement exempt from registration under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
On May 15, 2026, the Company completed a partial redemption of $100.0 million of the aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes. In addition, on June 15, 2026, the Company completed a partial redemption of $350.0 million of the aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes using proceeds from the increase in principal of the 2033 Term Loan (discussed above). These partial redemptions resulted in a loss on debt extinguishment of $2.0 million, which was recognized in Interest expense, net of interest income. Following these partial redemptions, $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes remained outstanding as of June 30, 2026.
The 2028 Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.75% and yielded an effective interest rate of 6.96% as of June 30, 2026.
Senior Secured Notes due 2031
On August 24, 2023, the Company issued $400.0 million of senior secured notes due September 1, 2031 (the “2031 Notes”). Net proceeds from the 2031 Notes were $392.8 million, consisting of a $400.0 million aggregate principal amount less $7.2 million from issuance costs. The 2031 Notes were offered in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act. The 2031 Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 8.88% and yielded an effective interest rate of 9.09% as of June 30, 2026.
Financial Covenant and Related Terms
The Credit Agreement has a springing financial covenant, tested on the last day of each fiscal quarter if the outstanding borrowings under the Revolver exceed an applicable threshold. If the financial covenant is triggered, the Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) may not exceed 5.00 to 1.00. In addition, the Credit Agreement, the indenture governing the 2028 Notes and the indenture governing the 2031 Notes impose certain operating and financial restrictions on the Company, and in the event of certain defaults, all of the Company’s outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement, the 2028 Notes and the 2031 Notes, together with accrued interest and other fees, could become immediately due and payable.
The Company was in compliance with all of the covenants under the Credit Agreement, the indenture governing the 2028 Notes and the indenture governing the 2031 Notes as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Note 10: Employee Benefits
The Company offers defined benefit plans in certain jurisdictions. In the U.K., the Company providestwo defined benefit plans to certain employees and former employees based on final pensionable salary, both of which are closed to new members.
In 2022, the Company completed buy-in transactions for thesetwo defined benefit plans in the U.K., whereby the trustees of the plans purchased a bulk annuity insurance policy, under which the insurer is committed to pay the plan cash flows intended to match the benefit payments. Under the buy-in arrangements, the benefit obligations were not transferred to the insurer; rather, the Company retains full responsibility for paying the members’ benefits. The buy-in arrangements also allow for the future conversion into buy-out arrangements whereby the insurance company would assume full responsibility for the pension benefit obligations.
In March 2026, the buy-out process for one of the U.K. defined benefit plans was completed and all of the Company’s future pension obligations associated with this plan were transferred to the insurance company. As of December 31, 2025, the fair value of pension plan assets and projected benefit obligations in this plan were $66.4 million and $64.6 million, respectively. Upon settlement, the Company derecognized such net defined benefit plan assets and liabilities from its consolidated balance sheet. Additionally, upon settlement, the remaining losses recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss of $17.2 million were recognized as a non-cash component of net periodic pension cost within Other income (expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company anticipates that it is reasonably possible the buy-out process for the second U.K. defined benefit plan will be completed in the next 12 months.
Note 11: Commitments and Contingencies
Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to various claims and litigation. The Company is also subject to threatened or pending legal actions arising from activities of contractors. A liability is recorded for claims or other contingencies when the risk of loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal fees are expensed as incurred. Many of these claims may be covered under the Company’s current insurance programs, subject to self-insurance levels and deductibles. The timing and ultimate settlement of these matters is inherently uncertain; however, based upon information currently available, unless otherwise noted, we believe the resolution of such claims and litigation will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
The Company is also subject to various workers’ compensation and medical claims, primarily as it relates to claims by employees in the U.S. for medical benefits and lost wages associated with injuries incurred in the course of their employment. A liability is also recorded for the Company’s incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) claims, the amount of which is determined based on prior claims history.
These various contingent claims liabilities are presented as Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, contingent liabilities recorded within Other current liabilities were $86.8 million and $85.0 million, respectively, and contingent liabilities recorded within Other non-current liabilities were $69.5 million and $65.0 million, respectively. These contingent liabilities are made up of errors and omissions (“E&O”) claims, litigation matters, general liability, workers’ compensation and other medical claims. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, E&O and other litigation claims were $50.6 million and $51.4 million, respectively, and general liability, workers’ compensation and medical claims liabilities were $105.7 million and $98.6 million, respectively.
The Company had no material insurance receivable balances outstanding as of June 30, 2026 or December 31, 2025.
Payroll Tax Claims
In a non-U.S. jurisdiction, the Company is currently engaged in a dispute with a local tax authority about the application of tax rules related to certain payroll taxes with respect to two of our subsidiaries for tax years ended 2015 to 2022. The tax authority has claimed that the Company owes unpaid employer payroll tax contributions of approximately $78.0 million, plus interest. In the first quarter of 2026, the amount claimed increased due to the extension of the same claims for an incremental year and it reflects the impact of foreign currency movements. In addition, we could receive claims for other alleged unpaid income taxes as we have been served with protective determinations by the same tax authority.
The Company generally believes that it has appropriately applied the payroll tax rules and disagrees with the amounts claimed. However, in 2023, an immaterial liability was recorded equal to the estimated probable loss for the years under review. In July 2026, new case law developed on an issue relevant to our assessment. Given the recency of the development and the novel issues presented, the Company continues to evaluate its exposure, which remains subject to negotiation and resolution with the local tax authority. It is reasonably possible that in the near term we may recognize additional liabilities if such additional losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. As of June 30, 2026, the estimated range of reasonably possible loss including interest and penalties, in excess of amounts accrued, was up to $50.0 million, net of tax benefit, and reflective of the impact of foreign currency movements.
U.S. Department of Justice Lawsuit
In January 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) added the Company and one of its multifamily subsidiaries, along with other third parties, as defendants to a civil lawsuit that it and the Attorneys General of several states (collectively, the “Co-Plaintiffs”) have filed against RealPage, Inc. The lawsuit relates to the operation and use of RealPage’s revenue management software, which we were at times directed by our clients to use at some of the multifamily properties we manage. The lawsuit is civil in nature and the DOJ is not currently seeking monetary fines or penalties from the defendants. However, some of the Co-Plaintiffs could seek monetary relief under applicable state laws, which amounts, if awarded, are not currently expected to be material to the Company. We disagree with the lawsuit’s allegations and we do not believe that our use of the revenue management software violates U.S. federal or state antitrust laws. Importantly, the Company is not a landlord, does not own any properties, does not set strategy, pricing, or occupancy targets at any properties it manages, and does not independently determine whether or how revenue management software is used at such properties. Certain states have also filed similar, separate lawsuits but our position in relation to those cases is substantially similar to our position in the case brought by the DOJ. The Company does not expect that the outcome of these disputes will have a material impact on its business, financial condition or results of operations.
Guarantees
The Company’s guarantees primarily relate to requirements under certain client service contracts and arise through the normal course of business. These guarantees, with certain financial institutions, have both open and closed-ended terms, with remaining closed-ended terms up to 10 years and maximum potential future payments of approximately $167.5 million in the aggregate. None of these guarantees are individually material to the Company’s operating results, financial position or liquidity. The Company considers the probability of future payment or non-performance under these guarantees to be remote.
Greystone JV Indemnities
On November 27, 2023, Greystone Servicing Company LLC (“GSC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Greystone JV, entered into an indemnity agreement with Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), which agreement is not in the normal course of GSC’s business, whereby Freddie Mac agreed to issueone or more loan commitment letters regarding the purchase of 42 first mortgage multifamily property loans brokered by a certain independent broker under temporary suspension by Freddie Mac (“Brokered Loans”). In exchange, GSC agreed to indemnify and hold Freddie Mac harmless from any claims or losses related to such Brokered Loans that result from any fraud, misrepresentation or omission. The Brokered Loans are currently performing and have not had any material impact on the Greystone JV to date. The Company will continue to assess this matter, and although it considers the likelihood of future indemnity obligations related to the Brokered Loans to be remote, it is possible that the matter could result in an additional, potentially material, liability for the Greystone JV in future periods.
GSC is also an approved lender and servicer under the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”). In the third quarter of 2025, GSC’s lender and servicing agreement with Fannie Mae was modified to increase the loss share obligations delivered on or before July 1, 2025, which had been identified as having certain risk characteristics at origination. This list may be updated periodically to reflect changes, such as the addition of new loans or the removal of loans expected to result in no or limited losses. As of June 30, 2026, the list included 65 loans which have loan loss provisions recorded in accordance with ASC 326, as applicable. The Company will continue to assess loan loss provisions as any additional loan losses recorded for this matter could result in potentially material liability for the Greystone JV in future periods.
For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Greystone JV recorded a non-cash provision for loan losses of $9.0 million and $14.2 million, respectively, of which the Company recorded $3.6 million and $5.7 million, respectively, based on its 40% equity interest, within Earnings (loss) from equity method investments. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Greystone JV recorded a non-cash provision for loan losses of $17.6 million and $17.1 million, respectively, of which the Company recorded $7.1 million and $6.8 million, respectively, based on its 40% equity interest, within Earnings (loss) from equity method investments. Any additional potential impact to the Greystone JV as a result of these matters would only impact the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements by our 40% equity interest in the Greystone JV.
Breach of Warranty Claim
Subsequent to the completion of our 2014 acquisition of the DTZ Group from UGL Limited (“UGL”), the Company brought a breach of warranty claim under warranty and indemnity insurance policies obtained in connection with the acquisition to cover certain losses incurred by the Company by reason of warranty breaches by UGL. The claim has been the subject of a lawsuit that has been pending since 2019 (the “Litigation”).
In 2024, the Company entered into settlement agreements with certain defendant insurers and received payments from such insurers in exchange for releases in the Litigation. In February 2025, a ruling was issued that valued the loss suffered by the Company in an amount no greater than the policy limits of certain defendant insurers who were dismissed from the case prior to trial. As the other defendant insurers who remained in the case were declared to be the prevailing parties, the Company was required to pay their costs, which were the subject of negotiation. In the second half of 2025 and the first half of 2026, the Company made immaterial settlement payments to the remaining defendant insurers for such costs, fully resolving this legal matter.
Note 12: Related Party Transactions and Employee Receivables
The Company recognized royalty fee income from equity method investments as disclosed in Note 7: Equity Method Investments.
For certain facilities management contracts, the Company subcontracts the APAC services, particularly in Greater China, through the Onewo JV. For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded expenses for these transactions of approximately $14.4 million and $15.3 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded expenses for these transactions of approximately $30.0 million and $26.7 million, respectively. Such expenses were recorded within Costs of services in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
In addition, as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had receivables outstanding from revenue-producing advisors and other employees of $52.2 million and $53.5 million, respectively, included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets, and $496.0 million and $439.1 million, respectively, included in Other non-current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These amounts primarily represent prepaid commissions, retention and sign-on bonuses and other items such as travel and other advances to employees. Such amounts are amortized over the required service period outlined in each underlying agreement.
Note 13: Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures certain assets and liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), which defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. In addition, ASC 820 establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value as follows:
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are based on unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data.

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, a deferred purchase price (“DPP”) receivable related to its revolving accounts receivables securitization program, which we have amended periodically (the “A/R Securitization”), restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, short-term borrowings, long-term debt, interest rate swaps and foreign exchange contracts. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash approximates the fair value of these instruments. Certain money market funds in which the Company has invested are highly liquid and considered cash equivalents. These funds are valued at the per unit rate published as the basis for current transactions. Due to the short-term nature of trade and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and short-term borrowings, their carrying amount is considered to be the same as their fair value.
Under the A/R Securitization, the Company recorded a DPP receivable upon the initial sale of trade receivables. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the carrying amount of the DPP receivable approximates its fair value. Refer to Note 14: Accounts Receivable Securitization for more information.
The estimated fair value of external debt was $2.6 billion and $2.8 billion as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. These instruments were valued using dealer quotes that are classified as Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. The gross carrying value of the debt, excluding deferred financing costs, was $2.6 billion and $2.7 billion as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Refer to Note 9: Long-Term Debt and Other Borrowings for additional information.
Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements
In the fourth quarter of 2025, we identified impairment indicators related to the carrying value of the Greystone JV that indicated a decline in fair value. In determining the fair value of the Greystone JV, the Company used both an income approach, using a DCF model based on current forecasts for the Greystone JV, and a market approach, using projected market multiples for comparable companies. There were no additional non-recurring fair value measurements during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 (in millions):

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, there were no transfers between the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. There have been no significant changes to the valuation techniques and inputs used to develop the fair value measurements from those disclosed in the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Deferred Compensation Plans
The Company sponsors non-qualified deferred compensation plans. The plans allowed certain highly-compensated employees in the U.S. to defer a portion of their compensation, enabling the employees to defer tax on compensation until payment is made. All deferred compensation plans are currently frozen.
The Company has established rabbi trusts under which investments are held to fund payment of the liability for two of the frozen deferred compensation plans. The investments consist of company owned life insurance policies and mutual funds. The fair value of deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities is determined based on the value of the underlying investments. At each reporting date, the value of the life insurance policies is based on their cash surrender value and the value of the mutual funds is based on quoted prices in active markets.
Deferred compensation plan assets are presented within Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other non-current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Deferred compensation liabilities are presented within Accrued compensation and Other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts and Interest Rate Swaps
The estimated fair value of interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward contracts are determined based on the expected cash flows of each derivative instrument. The valuation method reflects the contractual period and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate and foreign currency forward curves (Level 2 inputs). Refer to Note 8: Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities for discussion of the fair value associated with these derivative assets and liabilities.
Earn-out Liabilities
The Company has various contractual obligations associated with the acquisition of several real estate service companies in the United States and Europe, including contingent consideration comprised of earn-out payments to the sellers subject to achievement of certain performance criteria in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the respective purchase agreements. An increase to a probability of achievement would result in a higher fair value measurement of the earn-out liability.
The amounts disclosed in the fair value hierarchy table above are included in Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had the potential to make a maximum of $10.6 million and a minimum of $0.0 million (undiscounted) in earn-out payments. Assuming the achievement of the applicable performance criteria, these earn-out payments will be made over the next four years.
Earn-out liabilities are classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy because the methodology used to develop the estimated fair value includes significant unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions. The fair value of earn-out liabilities is based on the present value of probability-weighted expected return method related to the earn-out performance criteria on each reporting date. The probabilities of achievement assigned to the performance criteria are determined based on due diligence performed at the time of acquisition, as well as actual performance achieved subsequent to acquisition. Adjustments to the earn-out liabilities in periods subsequent to the completion of acquisitions are reflected within Operating, administrative and other in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The table below presents a reconciliation of earn-out liabilities measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) (in millions):
| Earn-out Liabilities | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Balance as of January 1, | $9.6 | $13.6 |
| Purchases/additions | — | 3.1 |
| Net change in fair value and other adjustments | (0.1) | 0.4 |
| Payments | (1.0) | (3.6) |
| Balance as of June 30, | $8.5 | $13.5 |
Investments in Real Estate Ventures
The Company directly invests in early stage property technology (“proptech”) companies, real estate investment funds and other real estate companies across various sectors. The Company typically reports these investments at cost, less impairment charges, and adjusts these investments to fair value if the Company identifies observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar instruments of the same issuer. The fair value of these investments is included in Other non-current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Investments in early stage proptech companies or other real estate companies are typically fair valued as a result of pricing observed in initial or subsequent funding rounds. These investments are not fair valued on a recurring basis and as such have been excluded from the fair value hierarchy table. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair value of our investments in early stage proptech companies (that are not publicly traded) was $45.2 million and $45.3 million, respectively.
The Company also invests in other real estate companies that are traded on public stock markets around the world, including a company that completed its initial public offering in the fourth quarter of 2025. As quoted market prices for identical assets are available, these investments are classified as Level 1 investments, included as equity securities in the fair value hierarchy table, and mark-to-market gains and losses are recognized on a recurring basis. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair value of our investments in publicly traded real estate companies was $32.0 million and $35.2 million, respectively.
Investments in real estate venture capital funds and co-investment funds are primarily fair valued using the net asset value (“NAV”) per share (or its equivalent) provided by investees or held at cost, less impairment charges. Critical inputs to NAV estimates include valuations of the underlying real estate assets and borrowings, which incorporate investment-specific assumptions such as discount rates, capitalization rates, rental and expense growth rates, and asset-specific market borrowing rates. As these investments are not required to be classified in the fair value hierarchy, they have been excluded from the fair value hierarchy table. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair value of our investments in real estate venture capital funds and co-investment funds was $68.4 million and $69.0 million, respectively.
The Company adjusts these various real estate investments to their fair values each reporting period, and the changes in fair values are reflected in Other income (expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized a net unrealized loss of $3.1 million and $4.2 million on our real estate investments, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized a net unrealized gain of $0.3 million and a net unrealized loss of $0.4 million on our real estate investments, respectively.
Note 14: Accounts Receivable Securitization
Under the A/R Securitization, certain of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries continuously sell receivables to certain wholly-owned special purpose entities at fair market value. The special purpose entities then sell 100% of the receivables to an unaffiliated financial institution (the “Purchaser”). Although the special purpose entities are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, they are separate legal entities with their own separate creditors who will be entitled, upon their liquidation, to have liabilities satisfied out of their assets prior to any assets or value in such special purpose entities becoming available to their equity holders and their assets are not available to pay other creditors of the Company.
All transactions under the A/R Securitization are accounted for as a true sale in accordance with ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing (“ASC 860”). Following the sale and transfer of the receivables to the Purchaser, the receivables are legally isolated from the Company and its subsidiaries, and the Company sells, conveys, transfers and assigns to the Purchaser all its rights, title and interest in the receivables. Receivables sold are derecognized from the consolidated balance sheet. The Company continues to service, administer and collect the receivables on behalf of the Purchaser, and recognizes a servicing liability in accordance with ASC 860. Any financial statement impact associated with the servicing liability was immaterial for all periods presented.
Under the A/R Securitization, the Company records a DPP receivable upon the initial sale of trade receivables. The DPP receivable represents the difference between the fair value of the trade receivables sold and the cash purchase price and is recognized at fair value as part of the sale transaction. The DPP receivable is paid to the Company in cash on behalf of the Purchaser as the receivables are collected; however, due to the revolving nature of the A/R Securitization, cash collected from the Company’s customers is reinvested by the Purchaser daily in new receivable purchases under the A/R Securitization. The carrying amount of the DPP receivable, which approximates its fair value, is primarily based on the face amount of receivables, adjusted for estimated credit losses. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the DPP receivable of $212.8 million and $299.7 million, respectively, is included in Other non-current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, receivables sold under the A/R Securitization were $1.5 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively, and cash collections from customers on receivables sold were $1.5 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively, all of which were reinvested in new receivables purchases and are included in cash flows from operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the outstanding principal on receivables sold under the A/R Securitization was $431.4 million and $445.8 million, respectively.
The A/R Securitization also provides funding from the Purchaser against receivables sold into the program. On March 18, 2026, the Company amended the A/R Securitization to increase the maximum facility limit by $50.0 million to $300.0 million and extended the termination date to March 18, 2029. The Company recorded a non-cash servicing liability of $11.8 million in connection with the amendment, which will be amortized through the termination date of the program. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had aggregate capital outstanding under this facility of $200.0 million and $120.0 million, respectively, and the unused portion of the facility limit, net of letters of credit, was $100.0 million and $93.1 million, respectively.
