Our business requires the continued operation of information technology and communication systems and network infrastructure. Our ability to conduct our global business may be materially adversely affected by disruptions to these systems or our infrastructure. Our information technology and communications systems are vulnerable to damage or disruption from fire, power loss, telecommunications failure, system malfunctions, computer viruses, cyberattacks, natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes and floods, acts of war or terrorism, employee errors or malfeasance, or other events which are beyond our control. Cyberattacks and malware pose growing threats to many companies, and we, as well as our third-party service providers, have been a target and may continue to be a target of such threats, which could expose us to liability, reputational harm and significant remediation costs and cause material harm to our business and financial results. In addition, the timely operation and maintenance of these systems and networks is in some cases dependent on third-party technologies, systems and service providers for which there is no certainty of uninterrupted availability. Any of these events could cause system interruption, delays and loss, corruption or exposure of data or intellectual property and may also disrupt our ability to provide services to or interact with our clients, contractors and vendors, and we may not be able to successfully implement contingency plans. Furthermore, while we have certain business interruption and cyber insurance coverage and various contractual arrangements that can serve to mitigate costs, damages and liabilities, any such event could result in substantial recovery and remediation costs and liability to customers, business partners and other third parties. We have crisis management, business continuity and disaster recovery plans and backup systems to reduce the potentially adverse effect of such events, but our disaster recovery planning may not be sufficient and cannot account for all eventualities, and a catastrophic event that results in the destruction or disruption of any of our data centers and third-party cloud hosting providers or our critical business or information technology systems could severely affect our ability to conduct normal business operations, and as a result, our future operating results could be materially adversely affected.

Accounting Policies 108 words changed in this paragraph; it is 83% similar to last year's version.
We are required to test goodwill and other intangible assets deemed to have indefinite useful lives for impairment at least annually, or more often if circumstances or events indicate a change in the impairment status, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other.” The guidance permits, but does not require an entity to perform a qualitative assessment with respect to any of its reporting units or indefinite-lived intangible assets to determine whether a quantitative impairment test is needed. Entities are permitted to assess based on qualitative factors whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s or indefinite-lived intangible asset’s fair value is less than its carrying amount before applying the quantitative impairment test. If it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, the entity conducts the quantitative impairment test. If not, the entity does not need to apply the quantitative test. The qualitative test is elective, and an entity can go directly to the quantitative test rather than making a more-likely-than-not assessment based on an evaluation of qualitative factors. When performing a quantitative test, we primarily use a combination of market and income approaches. The market approach is based on the guideline public company method which estimates the value of our reporting units by applying valuation multiples of selected guideline public companies to the reporting unit’s key operating metrics. The income approach is based on the discounted cash flow approach to estimate method which estimates the fair value of our reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets. assets by estimating the present value of projected future cash flows. Management’s judgment is required in developing to develop assumptions to estimate fair values, including selected market multiples for the assumptions guideline public company method and revenue growth rates, profit margin percentages, and discount rates for the discounted cash flow model. These assumptions include revenue growth rates, profit margin percentages, discount rates, etc. We record an impairment loss when the amount by which a reporting unit’s or indefinite-lived intangible asset’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of the goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible asset. See Note 9 10 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets for more information.

The company is subject to indirect taxes, including sales and use tax in the United States and value-add tax in certain foreign jurisdictions in which it conducts business. The Company has company had indirect tax liabilities totaling $91 primarily related to sales and use tax of $90 million and $3 $91 million as of December 31, 2024 2025 and 2023, 2024, respectively. Indirect tax liabilities are adjusted considering changing facts and circumstances, such as the closing of a tax examination, further interpretation of existing tax law, or new tax law. laws. We are currently under audit in several jurisdictions. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 450, “Contingencies,” the company establishes accruals for contingencies, including uncertainties related to taxes not based on income, when the company believes it is probable that a loss has been incurred, and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

Our international operations require us to comply with a broad range of complex legal, geopolitical and regulatory environments in which we operate. We may not be successful in complying with regulations in all situations and violations may result in criminal or material civil sanctions and other costs against us or our employees, and may have a material adverse effect on our reputation and business. Furthermore, our efforts to comply with developments in these laws may adversely impact our business.

We have committed resources to expand our worldwide sales and marketing activities, to globalize our service offerings and products in select markets and to develop local sales and support channels. If we are unable to successfully implement these plans, maintain adequate long-term strategies that successfully manage the risks associated with our global business or adequately manage operational fluctuations, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed. In addition, we have established operations and seek to grow our presence in many emerging markets to further expand our global platform. However, we may not be successful in effectively evaluating and monitoring the key business, operational, legal and compliance risks specific to those markets. The political and cultural risks present in emerging countries could also harm our ability to successfully execute our operations or manage our businesses there.

The protection of our brand, including related trademarks, may require the expenditure of significant financial and operational resources. Moreover, the steps we take to protect our brand may not adequately protect our rights or prevent third parties from infringing or misappropriating our trademarks. Even when we detect infringement or misappropriation of our trademarks, we may not be able to enforce all such trademarks. Any unauthorized use by third parties of our brand may adversely affect our brand. Furthermore, as we continue to expand our business, especially internationally, there is a risk we may face claims of infringement or other alleged violations of third-party intellectual property rights, which may restrict us from leveraging our brand in a manner consistent with our business goals.

RemovedRisk Factors
As of December 31, 2024, we had over $1.4 billion invested in certain companies and projects that we do not control that were accounted for under the cost/measurement alternative method of accounting, equity method or fair value. These investments are subject to risks related to the businesses in which we invest, which may be different than the risks inherent in our own business. Factors beyond our control may significantly influence the value of these investments and may cause their fair value to decrease or adversely impact our ability to recognize a gain on such investments. These factors include decisions made by management or controlling stockholders of such businesses, who may have interests different than those of CBRE, and instability in the capital markets. Any of these factors, among others, could cause an impairment, realized and/or unrealized losses in future periods, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In the future, we may acquire more equity investments that are not consolidated, which could increase our exposure to the risks described above.

The operating environment for commercial real estate improved in 2024, particularly in the second half of the year. This was most prominently evident in real estate leasing markets. A healthy economic outlook and improved return-to-office momentum made companies increasingly confident to move forward with office leasing plans. Demand was particularly strong for the highest-quality space and expanded from primary to secondary markets as the year progressed. Improved capital availability and lower borrowing costs – along with the perception that interest rates would fall further – buoyed investor sentiment and led to increased real estate sales and financing activity in the second half of 2024. These factors also improved the operating backdrop for development and investment asset sales late in the year. Meanwhile, outsourcing services continued to gain favor with major corporations and other large occupiers of space, boosting demand for facilities and project management services.

The revenue increase reflected growth in leasing activity, particularly for office and retail space, commercial mortgage origination, loan servicing, property management, and continued strong growth in the GWS segment, which benefited from strong new business activity, contract expansions, and acquisitions. We began to see an increase in property sales in our Advisory Services segment in the second half of 2024. Revenue increased in the REI segment, driven by higher incentive and development fees.

Revenue increased 13.0% in 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023. Global leasing revenue rose 12.2% driven by the Americas which grew 13.3%, including 15.8% in the United States, APAC which grew 10.6% and the United Kingdom, which grew 10.5%. Property sales revenue was up 10.1%, reflecting an increase in property sales in the second half of 2024. The company’s loan origination business benefited from higher loan fees, partially offset by a decrease in interest earnings on escrow balances. Property management also grew solidly, up 15.4%, fueled by growth across regions and in the U.S. and continued growth from the Brookfield portfolio. Foreign currency translation had a 0.2% negative impact on total revenue in 2024, primarily driven by weakness in the Japanese yen and Brazilian real, partially offset by strength in the British pound sterling.

In connection with the origination and sale of mortgage loans with servicing rights retained, we record servicing assets or liabilities based on the fair value of mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) on the date the loans are sold. Upon origination of a mortgage loan held for sale, the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights to be retained is included in the forecasted proceeds from the anticipated loan sale and results in a net gain (which is reflected in revenue). Our MSRs are initially recorded at fair value. Subsequent to the initial recording, MSRs are amortized in proportion to and over the period that the servicing income is expected to be received based on projections and timing of estimated future net cash flows and assessed for impairment based on the fair value each reporting period.

Net revenue is gross revenue less costs largely associated with subcontracted vendor work performed for clients and is passed through to the client generally with no margin. Segment operating profit on revenue margin is computed by dividing segment operating profit by revenue and provides a comparable profitability measure against our peers. Segment operating profit on net revenue margin is computed by dividing segment operating profit by net revenue and is a better indicator of the segment’s margin since it does not include the diluting effect of pass-through revenue which generally has no margin.
