The GAAP operating earnings were $158.1 million as compared to $97.4 million in the prior year period. The GAAP diluted net earnings per share were $0.99 compared to a diluted net loss per share of $0.61 in the prior year period. The GAAP diluted net earnings per share would have been approximately $0.02 higher excluding changes in foreign exchange rates.

“Colliers delivered solid second quarter results with growth across all service lines and segments. Leasing revenues exceeded expectations while Capital Markets saw modest growth for the first time since the second quarter of 2022. As expected, our high-value, recurring service lines – Outsourcing & Advisory and Investment Management – continued to deliver solid and predictable growth during the quarter. As our business continues to meet expectations, we are maintaining our financial outlook for the year,” said Jay S. Hennick, Chairman & CEO of Colliers.

“Earlier this week, we completed the previously announced acquisition of Englobe, a leading multi-discipline engineering, environmental, and inspection services platform. This acquisition establishes Colliers as one of the top players in Canada, complements our rapidly growing engineering operations in the United States and Australia and aligns with our strategy of expanding our high-value recurring revenue streams, which now represents 72% of our earnings.”

“Since 2015, our committed leadership team, with substantial ownership, has continued to reposition our company to create growth and value for our shareholders. One step at a time, we have grown Colliers into a global leader in commercial real estate and expanded our business to include three complementary growth engines – Real Estate Services, Engineering, and Investment Management,” he concluded.

(1) Investment Management local currency revenues, excluding pass-through carried interest, were up 6% and 3% for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

Second quarter consolidated revenues were up 6% on a local currency basis driven by growth across all service lines, led by Leasing. Consolidated internal revenue growth measured in local currencies was 5% (note 4) versus the prior year quarter.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, consolidated revenues increased 5% on a local currency basis on robust growth in Leasing and Outsourcing & Advisory, partly offset by a market-driven slowdown in Capital Markets activity. Consolidated internal revenues measured in local currencies were up 4% (note 4).

Segmented Second Quarter Results
Revenues in the Americas region totalled $682.7 million, up 8% (8% in local currency) versus $631.3 million in the prior year quarter, primarily attributable to higher Leasing activity as well as robust broad-based growth in Outsourcing & Advisory. Capital Markets revenues were up 2%. Adjusted EBITDA was $75.7 million, up 9% (9% in local currency) relative to the prior year quarter on higher revenues. GAAP operating earnings were $53.0 million, relative to $46.5 million in the prior year quarter.

Revenues in the EMEA region totalled $178.7 million, up 3% (3% in local currency) compared to $173.8 million in the prior year quarter, attributable to higher Leasing activity and modest growth in Outsourcing & Advisory revenues, while Capital Markets revenues were essentially flat. Adjusted EBITDA was $6.8 million, up 7% (6% in local currency) compared to $6.3 million in the prior year quarter on a lower cost base. The GAAP operating loss was $0.7 million compared to a loss of $5.1 million in the prior year quarter.

Revenues in the Asia Pacific region totalled $151.9 million, down 1% (up 1% in local currency), compared to $153.9 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was $24.6 million, up 7% (9% in local currency) primarily on lower operating costs. The GAAP operating earnings were $21.6 million, versus $19.6 million in the prior year quarter.

Investment Management revenues were $126.1 million relative to $118.9 million in the prior year quarter, up 6% (6% in local currency) on incremental revenues from new investor capital commitments. No passthrough revenues from historical carried interest were recognized in the current and prior year quarters. Adjusted EBITDA was $50.5 million, up 1% (1% in local currency) compared to the prior year quarter on higher revenues, partly offset by increased investments in new products, strategies and fundraising capabilities. The GAAP operating earnings were $55.0 million in the quarter versus $26.4 million in the prior year quarter. AUM was $96.4 billion as of June 30, 2024 compared to $96.3 billion as of March 31, 2024.

Unallocated global corporate costs as reported in Adjusted EBITDA were $1.9 million in the second quarter, flat relative to the prior year quarter. The corporate GAAP operating loss for the quarter was $14.2 million, versus $12.1 million in the second quarter of 2023.

Outlook for 2024
The Company’s outlook for 2024 is unchanged, except to reflect the partial year impact of the acquisition of Englobe:

  2024 Outlook

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, health, social and related factors. Continued interest rate volatility and/or lack of credit availability for commercial real estate transactions could materially impact the outlook.

Revised Operating Segments
With the acquisition of Englobe, the Company’s engineering and project management capabilities have reached scale, with over 8,000 employees generating approximately $1.3 billion in annual revenues across 15 countries.

Starting in the third quarter of 2024, the Company will re-align its operating segment reporting to better reflect the overall business and its three complementary growth engines – Real Estate Services, Engineering, and Investment Management. The Real Estate Services segment will be comprised of the former Americas, EMEA and Asia Pacific regions, but excluding engineering and project management.

Conference Call
Colliers will be holding a conference call on Thursday, August 1, 2024 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time to discuss the quarter’s results.

Notes
Non-GAAP Measures
1. 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) loss on disposal of operations; (v) depreciation and amortization, including amortization of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”); (vi) gains attributable to MSRs; (vii) acquisition-related items (including contingent acquisition consideration fair value adjustments, contingent acquisition consideration-related compensation expense and transaction costs); (viii) restructuring costs and (ix) stock-based compensation expense. 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 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.

Adjusted EBITDA$155,624  $147,080  $264,319  $251,703 

2. 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) loss on disposal of operations; (iii) amortization expense related to intangible assets recognized in connection with acquisitions and MSRs; (iv) gains attributable to MSRs; (v) acquisition-related items; (vi) restructuring costs and (vii) stock-based compensation expense. 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.

Similar to GAAP diluted EPS, Adjusted EPS is calculated using the “if-converted” method of calculating earnings per share in relation to the Convertible Notes, which were fully converted or redeemed by June 1, 2023. As such, the interest (net of tax) on the Convertible Notes is added to the numerator and the additional shares issuable on conversion of the Convertible Notes are added to the denominator of the earnings per share calculation to determine if an assumed conversion is more dilutive than no assumption of conversion. The “if-converted” method is used if the impact of the assumed conversion is dilutive. The “if-converted” method is dilutive for the Adjusted EPS calculation for all periods where the Convertible Notes were outstanding.

3. 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.

Free cash flow$125,418  $67,993  $(2,720) $(63,475)

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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 1) that is derived from Outsourcing & Advisory and Investment Management service lines. Both 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.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings
(1)Acquisition-related items include contingent acquisition consideration fair value adjustments, contingent acquisition consideration-related compensation expense and transaction costs.
(2)Diluted EPS is calculated using the “if-converted” method of calculating earnings per share in relation to the Convertible Notes, which were fully converted or redeemed by June 1, 2023. As such, the interest (net of tax) on the Convertible Notes is added to the numerator and the additional shares issuable on conversion of the Convertible Notes are added to the denominator of the earnings per share calculation to determine if an assumed conversion is more dilutive than no assumption of conversion. The “if-converted” method is used if the impact of the assumed conversion is dilutive. The “if-converted” method was dilutive for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and anti-dilutive for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
