Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Organization and Basis of Presentation | Organization and Basis of Presentation Newmark Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was formed as NRE Delaware, Inc. on November 18, 2016. Newmark changed its name to Newmark Group, Inc. on October 18, 2017. Newmark Holdings, L.P. is a consolidated subsidiary of Newmark for which Newmark is the general partner. Newmark and Newmark Holdings jointly own Newmark Partners, L.P., the operating partnership. Newmark is a leading commercial real estate advisor and service provider to large institutional investors, global corporations, and other owners and occupiers. Newmark offers a diverse array of integrated services and products designed to meet the full needs of its clients. Newmark’s investor/owner services and products include capital markets, which consists of investment sales and commercial mortgage origination (including the placement of debt, equity raising, structured finance, and loan sales on behalf of third parties), landlord (or agency) representation leasing, valuation and advisory, property management and flexible workspace solutions for owners, a leading commercial real estate technology platform and capabilities for owners, due diligence consulting and other advisory services, GSEs and FHA multifamily lending and loan servicing, limited and special loan servicing and asset management, and business rates for U.K. property owners. Newmark’s corporate or occupier services and products include tenant representation leasing, OS, which provides integrated client solutions typically under long-term agreements, including project management, transaction management, lease administration, and facilities management, as well as corporate consulting services with respect to clients’ needs across real estate and supply chain optimization, site selection, workplace strategy, and occupancy, flexible workspace solutions for occupiers, and business rates for U.K. occupiers. Newmark has relationships with many of the world’s largest commercial property owners, real estate developers and investors, as well as Fortune 500 and Forbes Global 2000 companies. (a) Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Certain reclassifications have been made to previously reported amounts to conform to the current presentation. “Equity-based compensation and allocations of net income to limited partnership units and FPUs” reflects the following items related to cash and equity-based compensation: •Charges with respect to the grant of shares of common stock or limited partnership units, including in connection with the redemption of non-exchangeable limited partnership units, including PSUs; •Charges with respect to grants of exchangeability, such as the right of holders of limited partnership units with no capital accounts, such as PSUs, to exchange the units into shares of common stock, or HDUs, as well as the cash paid in the settlement of the related Preferred Units to pay withholding taxes owed by the unit holder upon such exchange; •Preferred Units granted in connection with the grant of certain limited partnership units, such as PSUs, that may be granted exchangeability to cover the withholding taxes owed by the unit holder, rather than issuing the gross amount of shares to employees, subject to cashless withholding of shares to pay applicable withholding taxes; •Charges related to the amortization of RSUs and REUs; and •Allocations of net income to limited partnership units and FPUs, including the Preferred Distribution. Intercompany balances and transactions within Newmark have been eliminated. Transactions between Cantor and Newmark pursuant to services agreements with Cantor (see Note 24 — “Related Party Transactions”), representing valid receivables and liabilities of Newmark which are periodically cash settled, have been included on the accompanying consolidated financial statements as either receivables from or payables to related parties. Newmark receives administrative services to support its operations, and in return, Cantor allocates certain of its expenses to Newmark. Such expenses represent costs related to, but not limited to, treasury, legal, accounting, information technology, payroll administration, human resources, incentive compensation plans and other services. These costs, together with an allocation of Cantor’s overhead costs, are included as Fees to related parties on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Where it is possible to specifically attribute such expenses to activities of Newmark, these amounts have been expensed directly to Newmark. Allocation of all other such expenses is based on services agreements with Cantor which reflect the utilization of services provided or benefits received by Newmark during the periods presented on a consistent basis, such as headcount, square footage, revenue, etc. Management believes the assumptions underlying the stand-alone financial statements, including the assumptions regarding allocated expenses, reasonably reflect the utilization of services provided to or the benefit received by Newmark during the periods presented. However, these shared expenses may not represent the amounts that would have been incurred had Newmark operated independently from Cantor. Actual costs that would have been incurred if Newmark had performed the services itself would depend on multiple factors, including organizational structure and strategic decisions in various areas, including information technology and infrastructure (see Note 24 — “Related Party Transactions” for an additional discussion of expense allocations). Transfers of cash, except as related to the Cantor Credit Agreement, both to and from Cantor, as well as any amounts due to Newmark from BGC, are included in “Receivables from related parties” or “Payables to related parties” on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and in the operating section on the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows. The accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of cash flows and consolidated statements of changes in equity of Newmark for the periods presented. (b) Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848. ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting provided optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. The ASU was effective upon issuance and generally could be applied through December 31, 2022. Because the relief in ASC 848, Reference Rate Reform may not cover a period of time during which a significant number of modifications may take place, the amendments in ASU No. 2022-06 deferred the sunset date from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024, after which entities are no longer permitted to apply the relief in ASC 848. The ASU was effective upon issuance. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The guidance was issued in response to requests from investors for companies to disclose more information about their financial performance at the segment level. The ASU does not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates them or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. The standard requires a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis, and to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide the new disclosures and all the disclosures previously required under ASC 280. Newmark adopted the standard on the required effective date for the financial statements issued for the annual reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2024 and applies the guidance for the interim periods beginning on January 1, 2025. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 3 — “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for Newmark’s segment information disclosures. In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-01, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards. The standard is intended to reduce the complexity in determining whether profits interests and similar awards are in the scope of ASC 718 and to reduce diversity in practice. The new guidance applies to all reporting entities that grant profits interest awards or similar awards to employees or nonemployees in exchange for goods or services. The ASU adds an example to ASC 718 that illustrates how to apply the scope guidance to determine whether a profits interest award should be accounted for as a share-based payment arrangement under ASC 718 or another accounting standard. Newmark adopted the standard on the required effective date beginning on January 1, 2025 using a prospective transition method for profits interest awards granted or modified on or after the effective date. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-02, Codification Improvements—Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements. The Conceptual Framework establishes concepts that the Board considers in developing standards. The ASU was issued to remove references to the Conceptual Framework in the Codification. The FASB noted that references to the Concepts Statements in the Codification could have implied that the Concepts Statements are authoritative. Also, some of the references removed were to Concepts Statements that are superseded. Newmark adopted the standard on the required effective date beginning on January 1, 2025 using a prospective transition method for all new transactions recognized on or after the effective date. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The standard improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The ASU also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. Newmark adopted the standard on the required effective date for the financial statements issued for annual reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2025. Refer to Note 25—“Income Taxes.” The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. (c) New Accounting Pronouncements In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements—Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. The standard is expected to clarify or improve disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of Codification Topics, allow users to more easily compare entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosures with those entities that were not previously subject to the requirements, and align the requirements in the Codification with the SEC’s regulations. The effective date for the guidance will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of the related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective. If by June 30, 2027 the SEC has not removed the applicable requirements from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, the pending content of the related amendment will be removed from the Codification and will not become effective for any entity. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The standard improves financial reporting and responds to investor input that additional expense detail is fundamental to understanding the performance of an entity, assessing its prospects for future cash flows, and comparing its performance over time and with that of other companies. The new guidance requires public business entities to disclose in the notes to financial statements specified information about certain costs and expenses at each interim and annual reporting period, including the amounts of employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization for each income statement line item that contains those expenses. Specified expenses, gains or losses that are already disclosed under existing U.S. GAAP will be required by the ASU to be included in the disaggregated income statement expense line item disclosures, and any remaining amounts will need to be described qualitatively. Separate disclosures of total selling expenses and an entity’s definition of those expenses will also be required. The new guidance will become effective for Newmark’s financial statements issued for annual reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2027 and interim reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2028, will require either prospective or retrospective presentation, and early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-03, Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity. The standard revises current guidance for determining the accounting acquirer for a transaction effected primarily by exchanging equity interests in which the legal acquiree is a VIE that meets the definition of a business. The amendments differ from current U.S. GAAP because, for certain transactions, they replace the requirement that the primary beneficiary of a VIE is always the acquirer with an assessment that requires an entity to consider the factors to determine which entity is the accounting acquirer. Under the amendments, acquisition transactions in which the legal acquiree is a VIE will, in more instances, result in the same accounting outcomes as economically similar transactions in which the legal acquiree is a voting interest entity. The ASU does not change the accounting for a transaction determined to be a reverse acquisition or a transaction in which the legal acquirer is not a business and is determined to be the accounting acquiree. The new guidance will become effective for Newmark beginning on January 1, 2027, will require a prospective transition method for business combinations that occur after the initial adoption date, and early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-04, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Clarifications to Share-Based Consideration Payable to a Customer. The standard was issued to reduce diversity in practice and improve the decision usefulness and operability of the guidance for share-based consideration payable to a customer in conjunction with selling goods or services. The amendments refine key aspects of the guidance, including the definition of “performance condition” as well as the measurement requirements and the treatment of forfeitures. Other changes include clarification that the measurement of share-based consideration payable to a customer is addressed by ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation before and after the grant date. The new guidance will become effective for Newmark beginning on January 1, 2027, can be adopted using either a modified retrospective or full retrospective method, and early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. The standard, which is optional, addresses challenges faced by stakeholders when applying ASC 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, to current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The amendments allow all entities to elect a practical expedient to assume that the current conditions as of the balance sheet date will remain unchanged for the remaining life of the asset when developing a reasonable and supportable forecast as part of estimating expected credit losses on these assets. The new guidance can be adopted by Newmark beginning on January 1, 2026, using a prospective method, and early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The ASU is intended to address stakeholder feedback that the current guidance for software costs is outdated and not relevant given the evolution of software development. The standard clarifies and modernizes the accounting for costs related to internal-use software. The guidance removes all references to project stages and clarifies the threshold entities apply to begin capitalizing costs. The standard includes additional disclosure requirements as they are currently applied to property and equipment. The new guidance will become effective for Newmark beginning on January 1, 2028, can be adopted using either a prospective, modified retrospective or full retrospective method, and early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 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. The ASU addresses stakeholders’ concerns about the application of derivative accounting to contracts with features based on the operations or activities of one of the parties to the contract, and the diversity in accounting for share-based noncash consideration from a customer that is consideration for the transfer of goods or services. The amendments add a derivative scope exception for certain contracts with underlyings that are based on the operations or activities of one of the parties to the contract. The standard also clarifies the applicability of ASC 606 and its interaction with other ASC topics (including ASC 815 on derivatives and hedging and ASC 321 on equity securities), in the accounting for share-based noncash consideration (such as warrants or shares) received from a customer for the transfer of goods or services. The ASU is expected to provide investors with more comparable information and reduce accounting complexity and related reporting costs for preparers and auditors. The new guidance will become effective for Newmark beginning on January 1, 2027, can be adopted using either a prospective or modified retrospective method, and early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. The guidance clarifies the current interim disclosure requirements and their applicability. The ASU is intended to address feedback from stakeholders that the current guidance is difficult to navigate. The amendments do not change the fundamental nature or expand or reduce the disclosure requirements of interim reporting. The ASU creates a comprehensive list of interim disclosures required under U.S. GAAP and incorporates a disclosure principle that requires disclosures at interim periods when an event or change that has a material effect on an entity has occurred since the previous year end. The new guidance will become effective for Newmark beginning on January 1, 2028, can be adopted using either a prospective or retrospective method, and early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-12, Codification Improvements. The guidance clarifies, corrects errors in or makes other improvements to a variety of topics in the Codification that are intended to make it easier to understand and apply. The amendments apply to all reporting entities in the scope of the affected accounting guidance. The new guidance will become effective for Newmark beginning on January 1, 2027, can be adopted using either a prospective or retrospective method, and early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on the accompanying consolidated financial statements. SEC Rule on Climate-Related Disclosures In March 2024, the SEC adopted the final rules, The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors, that would require registrants to provide climate-related disclosures in a note to the audited financial statements. The disclosures would include certain effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions, including the aggregate amounts and where in the financial statements they are presented. If carbon offsets or renewable energy credits or certificates (RECs) are deemed a material component of the registrant’s plans to achieve its disclosed climate-related targets, registrants would be required to disclose information about the offsets and RECs. Registrants would also be required to disclose whether and how (1) exposures to risks and uncertainties associated with, or known impacts from, severe weather events and other natural conditions and (2) any disclosed climate-related targets or transition plans materially impacted the estimates and assumptions used in preparing the financial statements. Finally, registrants would be required to disclose additional contextual information about the above disclosures, including how each financial statement effect was derived and the accounting policy decisions made to calculate the effects, for the most recently completed fiscal year and, if previously disclosed or required to be disclosed, for the historical fiscal year for which audited consolidated financial statements are included in the filing. In April 2024, the SEC released an order staying the rules pending judicial review of all of the petitions challenging the rules and in March 2025, the SEC voted to end its defense of the rules. Absent these developments, the rules would have been effective for Newmark on May 28, 2024 and phased in starting in 2025. Management is continuing to monitor the developments pertaining to the rules and any resulting potential impacts on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
