(NASDAQ and TSX: CIGI) (“Colliers” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025. All amounts are in US dollars.

Hennick, Chairman & CEO of Colliers. "Our long-term strategy to build a diversified professional services and investment management company with high-quality, recurring revenue streams is clearly paying off. All three of our growth engines – Real Estate Services, Engineering, and Investment Management – demonstrated solid momentum this quarter, driven by organic growth, new revenue pipelines, and strategic acquisitions. We anticipate this positive trend to continue throughout the year, prompting us to raise our annual outlook despite ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties.” “Last week, we announced the rebranding of our Investment Management division as Harrison Street Asset Management (“Harrison Street”), reflecting the strength and global recognition of the Harrison Street brand. We also expanded our leadership team, appointing Co-Founder Christopher Merrill as Global CEO, along with Zach Michaud and Stephen Gordon as Managing Partners & Global CFO and COO, respectively. These changes position us to further scale our platform, unlock new opportunities and position ourselves for further value creation. This week’s acquisition of a 60% stake in RoundShield Partners, a leading European credit platform with $5 billion in assets under management, further expands our credit, student housing and hospitality capabilities. In addition to RoundShield, we also completed four tuck-in acquisitions in Engineering and two in Real Estate Services.” “With a 30-year track record of disciplined growth, visionary leadership, and three strong, high value growth engines, Colliers is a different kind of company that is exceptionally well-positioned to seize new opportunities and deliver enduring value for our shareholders,” Hennick concluded.

Segmented Second Quarter Results Real Estate Services revenues totalled $785.4 million, up 4% (up 4% in local currency) versus the prior year quarter. Net revenues were $730.8 million, up 5% (up 4% in local currency). Capital Markets revenues were up 17% (16% in local currency) with solid growth across all asset classes, led by the US, Western Europe and debt finance. Leasing revenues declined 5% (5% in local currency) globally and were impacted by tariff-driven uncertainties especially in industrial, which more than offset robust growth in office leasing. Outsourcing revenues were up 6% (6% in local currency) with growth across all services. Adjusted EBITDA was $87.0 million, down 1% (1% in local currency) on revenue mix as well as continued investments in recruiting. The GAAP operating earnings were $66.9 million, relative to $64.3 million in the prior year quarter. Engineering revenues totalled $436.0 million, up 67% (65% in local currency) compared to the prior year quarter. Net revenues (excluding subconsultant and other direct costs) were $337.3 million, up 73% (70% in local currency) driven by the favourable impact of recent acquisitions and strong internal growth. Adjusted EBITDA was $46.3 million, up 145% (142% in local currency) over the prior year quarter, with margin expansion driven equally by acquisitions and improved productivity and efficiency in core operations. The GAAP operating earnings were $19.2 million relative to $9.6 million in the prior year quarter. Investment Management revenues were $126.1 million, flat (flat in local currency) relative to the prior year quarter. Net revenues (excluding pass-through performance fees) were $117.7 million, down 7% (down 7% in local currency) impacted by catch-up fees recognized in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was $50.0 million, down 1% (down 1% in local currency) compared to the prior year quarter. GAAP operating earnings were $29.3 million in the quarter versus $55.0 million in the prior year quarter, with the prior year quarter impacted by a reversal of contingent acquisition consideration expense. AUM was $103.3 billion as of June 30, 2025 up from $100.3 billion at the end of the first quarter on solid fundraising, strong capital deployment activity and modest valuation increases during the quarter. Including RoundShield, proforma AUM is approximately $108 billion. Unallocated global corporate costs as reported in Adjusted EBITDA were $3.1 million relative to $1.9 million in the prior year quarter. The corporate GAAP operating loss was $16.2 million compared to $14.2 million in the prior year quarter. Updated 2025 Outlook The Company is updating and increasing its outlook for 2025 to reflect year to date operating results and the partial year impact of completed acquisitions, including RoundShield. On a consolidated basis, low-teens percentage revenue growth (previously high single-digit to low teens), mid-teens Adjusted EBITDA growth (previously low-teens) and mid to high-teens Adjusted EPS growth (previously low-teens) are expected.  The outlook remains contingent on (i) lower global trade uncertainty, and (ii) lower interest rate volatility in the second half of the year. The outlook drivers by segment have been updated accordingly and are discussed in the accompanying earnings call presentation. The financial outlook is based on the Company’s best available information as of the date of this press release, and remains subject to change based on numerous macroeconomic, geopolitical, international trade, health, social and related factors. The outlook does not include future acquisitions. Conference Call Colliers will be holding a conference call on Thursday, July 31, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time to discuss the quarter’s results.

Reconciliation of net earnings to Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net earnings, adjusted to exclude: (i) income tax; (ii) other income; (iii) interest expense; (iv) depreciation and amortization, including amortization of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”); (v) gains attributable to MSRs; (vi) acquisition-related items (including contingent acquisition consideration fair value adjustments, contingent acquisition consideration-related compensation expense and transaction costs); (vii) restructuring costs and (viii) stock-based compensation expense, including related to the CEO’s performance-based long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”). We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our own operating performance and our ability to service debt, as well as an integral part of our planning and reporting systems. Additionally, we use this measure in conjunction with discounted cash flow models to determine the Company’s overall enterprise valuation and to evaluate acquisition targets. We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure because we believe such measure is useful to investors as a reasonable indicator of operating performance because of the low capital intensity of the Company’s service operations. We believe this measure is a financial metric used by many investors to compare companies, especially in the services industry. This measure is not a recognized measure of financial performance of the consolidated Company under GAAP in the United States, and should not be considered as a substitute for operating earnings, net earnings or cash flow from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our method of calculating Adjusted EBITDA may differ from other issuers and accordingly, this measure may not be comparable to measures used by other issuers. A reconciliation of net earnings to Adjusted EBITDA appears below.

Reconciliation of net earnings and diluted net earnings per common share to adjusted net earnings and Adjusted EPS Adjusted EPS is defined as diluted net earnings per share adjusted for the effect, after income tax, of: (i) the non-controlling interest redemption increment; (ii) amortization expense related to intangible assets recognized in connection with acquisitions and MSRs; (iii) gains attributable to MSRs; (iv) acquisition-related items; (v) restructuring costs and (vi) stock-based compensation expense, including related to the CEO’s LTIP. We believe this measure is useful to investors because it provides a supplemental way to understand the underlying operating performance of the Company and enhances the comparability of operating results from period to period. Adjusted EPS is not a recognized measure of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered as a substitute for diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations, as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our method of calculating this non-GAAP measure may differ from other issuers and, accordingly, this measure may not be comparable to measures used by other issuers. A reconciliation of net earnings to adjusted net earnings and of diluted net earnings per share to adjusted EPS appears below. Three months ended Six months ended June 30 June 30 (in thousands of US$) 2025 2024 2025 2024 Net earnings $ 63,971 $ 71,927 $ 72,889 $ 86,063 Non-controlling interest share of earnings (16,238 ) (11,224 ) (21,967 ) (20,145 ) Amortization of intangible assets 42,983 34,385 87,738 69,471 Gains attributable to MSRs (10,455 ) (3,712 ) (14,494 ) (5,027 ) Acquisition-related items 16,059 (15,221 ) 25,440 (13,281 ) Restructuring costs 1,265 1,722 6,575 8,833 Stock-based compensation expense 9,153 7,446 15,805 14,134 Income tax on adjustments (12,210 ) (9,606 ) (25,692 ) (20,733 ) Non-controlling interest on adjustments (7,008 ) (7,141 ) (14,634 ) (13,271 ) Adjusted net earnings $ 87,520 $ 68,576 $ 131,660 $ 106,044 Three months ended Six months ended June 30 June 30 (in US$) 2025 2024 2025 2024 Diluted net earnings (loss) per common share $ 0.08 $ 0.73 $ 0.00 $ 0.99 Non-controlling interest redemption increment 0.86 0.48 1.01 0.33 Amortization expense, net of tax 0.53 0.41 1.09 0.88 Gains attributable to MSRs, net of tax (0.12 ) (0.04 ) (0.16 ) (0.06 ) Acquisition-related items 0.21 (0.36 ) 0.32 (0.37 ) Restructuring costs, net of tax 0.02 0.02 0.09 0.14 Stock-based compensation expense, net of tax 0.14 0.12 0.24 0.22 Adjusted EPS $ 1.72 $ 1.36 $ 2.59 $ 2.13 Diluted weighted average shares for Adjusted EPS (thousands) 50,891 50,479 50,900 49,671 4. Reconciliation of net cash flow from operations to free cash flow Free cash flow is defined as net cash flow from operating activities plus contingent acquisition consideration paid, less purchases of fixed assets, plus cash collections on AR Facility deferred purchase price less distributions to non-controlling interests. We use free cash flow as a measure to evaluate and monitor operating performance as well as our ability to service debt, fund acquisitions and pay dividends to shareholders. We present free cash flow as a supplemental measure because we believe this measure is a financial metric used by many investors to compare valuation and liquidity measures across companies, especially in the services industry. This measure is not a recognized measure of financial performance under GAAP in the United States, and should not be considered as a substitute for operating earnings, net earnings or cash flow from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our method of calculating free cash flow may differ from other issuers and accordingly, this measure may not be comparable to measures used by other issuers. A reconciliation of net cash flow from operating activities to free cash flow appears below. Three months ended Six months ended June 30 June 30 (in thousands of US$) 2025 2024 2025 2024 Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities $ 44,563 $ 141,189 $ (39,913 ) $ 3,574 Contingent acquisition consideration paid 5,680 300 7,948 3,038 Purchase of fixed assets (16,428 ) (12,480 ) (31,082 ) (29,353 ) Cash collections on AR Facility deferred purchase price 35,556 34,930 83,977 68,848 Distributions paid to non-controlling interests (37,015 ) (38,521 ) (45,473 ) (48,827 ) Free cash flow $ 32,356 $ 125,418 $ (24,543 ) $ (2,720 ) Trailing Twelve Months ended (in thousands of US$) June 30, 2025 2024 Annual free cash flow $ 330,244 Add: Free cash flow for six months ended June 30, 2025 (24,543 ) Less: Free cash flow for six months ended June 30, 2024 2,720 Trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2025 free cash flow $ 308,421 5. Local currency revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth rate and internal revenue growth rate measures Percentage revenue and Adjusted EBITDA variances presented on a local currency basis are calculated by translating the current period results of our non-US dollar denominated operations to US dollars using the foreign currency exchange rates from the periods against which the current period results are being compared. Percentage revenue variances presented on an internal growth basis are calculated assuming no impact from acquired entities in the current and prior periods. Revenue from acquired entities, including any foreign exchange impacts, are treated as acquisition growth until the respective anniversaries of the acquisitions. We believe that these revenue growth rate methodologies provide a framework for assessing the Company’s performance and operations excluding the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and acquisitions. Since these revenue growth rate measures are not calculated under GAAP, they may not be comparable to similar measures used by other issuers. 6. Assets under management We use the term assets under management (“AUM”) as a measure of the scale of our Investment Management operations. AUM is defined as the gross market value of operating assets and the projected gross cost of development assets of the funds, partnerships and accounts to which we provide management and advisory services, including capital that such funds, partnerships and accounts have the right to call from investors pursuant to capital commitments. Our definition of AUM may differ from those used by other issuers and as such may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other issuers. 7. Adjusted EBITDA from recurring revenue percentage Adjusted EBITDA from recurring revenue percentage is computed on a trailing twelve-month basis and represents the proportion of Adjusted EBITDA (note 2) that is derived from Engineering, Outsourcing and Investment Management service lines. All these service lines represent medium to long-term duration revenue streams that are either contractual or repeatable in nature. Adjusted EBITDA for this purpose is calculated in the same manner as for our debt agreement covenant calculation purposes, incorporating the expected full year impact of business acquisitions and dispositions.
