1. Basis of Presentation
Readers of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (Quarterly Report) should refer to the audited financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements of CBRE Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (which may be referred to in these financial statements as “the company,” “we,” “us” and “our”), for the year ended December 31, 2020, which are included in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K (2020 Annual Report), filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and also available on our website (www.cbre.com), since we have omitted from this Quarterly Report certain footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in such audited financial statements. You should also refer to Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, in the notes to consolidated financial statements in our 2020 Annual Report for further discussion of our significant accounting policies and estimates.
Considerations Related to the Covid-19 Pandemic
The Covid-19 pandemic has primarily impacted the property sales and leasing lines of business in the Advisory Services segment. Many property owners and occupiers put transactions on hold and withdrew existing mandates, sharply reducing sales and leasing volumes. The effects of Covid-19 have eased in parts of the world where progress has been made with vaccine distribution and global economic conditions have improved. Nevertheless Covid-19 continues to pose public health challenges that impact our operations, particularly as new strains emerge and spread and vaccine administration is slow in parts of the world. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the majority of workers remain out of their offices and occupier confidence in making long-term office leasing decisions has not returned to pre-pandemic levels.
See Note 5 (Fair Value Measurements) and Note 10 (Commitments and Contingencies) for further discussion of Covid-19 considerations.
Financial Statement Preparation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules applicable to quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and include all information and footnotes required for interim financial statement presentation, but do not include all disclosures required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S.), or GAAP, for annual financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments, except as otherwise noted) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions about future events, including the impact Covid-19 may have on our business. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported and reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Such estimates include the value of goodwill, intangibles and other long-lived assets, real estate assets, accounts receivable, contract assets, operating lease assets, investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries and assumptions used in the calculation of income taxes, retirement and other post-employment benefits, among others. These estimates and assumptions are based on our best judgment. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including consideration of the current economic environment, and adjust such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in these estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2020 financial statements to conform with the 2021 presentation.

2. New Accounting Pronouncements
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption
In March 2020 and January 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” and ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform: Scope,” respectively. Together, the ASUs provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. This guidance is effective for a limited time for all entities through December 31, 2022. We are evaluating the effect that this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
3. Warehouse Receivables & Warehouse Lines of Credit
Our wholly-owned subsidiary CBRE Capital Markets, Inc. (CBRE Capital Markets) is a Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) approved Multifamily Program Plus Seller/Servicer and an approved Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) Aggregation and Negotiated Transaction Seller/Servicer. In addition, CBRE Capital Markets’ wholly-owned subsidiary CBRE Multifamily Capital, Inc. (CBRE MCI) is an approved Fannie Mae Delegated Underwriting and Servicing (DUS) Seller/Servicer and CBRE Capital Markets’ wholly-owned subsidiary CBRE HMF, Inc. (CBRE HMF) is a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) approved Non-Supervised Federal Housing Authority (FHA) Title II Mortgagee, an approved Multifamily Accelerated Processing (MAP) lender and an approved Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae) issuer of mortgage-backed securities (MBS). Under these arrangements, before loans are originated through proceeds from warehouse lines of credit, we obtain either a contractual loan purchase commitment from either Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae or a confirmed forward trade commitment for the issuance and purchase of a Fannie Mae or Ginnie Mae MBS that will be secured by the loans. The warehouse lines of credit are generally repaid within a one-month period when Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae buys the loans or upon settlement of the Fannie Mae or Ginnie Mae MBS, while we retain the servicing rights. Loans are funded at the prevailing market rates. We elect the fair value option for all warehouse receivables. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, all of the warehouse receivables included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets were either under commitment to be purchased by Freddie Mac or had confirmed forward trade commitments for the issuance and purchase of Fannie Mae or Ginnie Mae mortgage-backed securities that will be secured by the underlying loans.
A rollforward of our warehouse receivables is as follows (dollars in thousands):

Beginning balance at December 31, 2020 | $ | 1,411,170 |
Origination of mortgage loans | 7,578,056 |
Gains (premiums on loan sales) | 41,855 |

4. Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)
We hold variable interests in certain VIEs in our Real Estate Investments segment which are not consolidated as it was determined that we are not the primary beneficiary. Our involvement with these entities is in the form of equity co-investments and fee arrangements.
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our maximum exposure to loss related to VIEs which are not consolidated was as follows (dollars in thousands):

Co-investment commitments | 80,133 |  |  | 47,957 |
Maximum exposure to loss | $ | 165,602 |  |  | $ | 119,123 |

5. Fair Value Measurements
Topic 820 of the FASB ASC 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 at the measurement date. Topic 820 also establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
•Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
•Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.
There have been no significant changes to the valuation techniques and inputs used to develop the recurring fair value measurements from those disclosed in our 2020 Annual Report.

We classify certain investments as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy which represent investments in non-public entities where we elected the fair value option. The valuation of these investments is determined utilizing recent market activity as well as income and/or market approach valuation methodologies. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries at fair value using NAV were $95.6 million and $66.3 million, respectively. These investments fall under practical expedient rules that do not require them to be included in the fair value hierarchy and as a result have been excluded from the tables above.
There were no significant non-recurring fair value measurements recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

| Net Carrying Value as of June 30, 2020 |  | Fair Value Measured and Recorded Using |  | Total Impairment Charges for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2020

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded $50.2 million of non-cash asset impairment charges in our Global Workplace Solutions segment and a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $25.0 million in our Real Estate Investments segment. Primarily as a result of the global economic disruption and uncertainty due to Covid-19, we deemed there to be triggering events in the first quarter of 2020 that required testing of goodwill and certain assets for impairment at that time. Based on these tests, we recorded the aforementioned non-cash impairment charges, which were primarily driven by lower anticipated cash flows in certain businesses directly resulting from a downturn in forecasts as well as increased forecast risk due to Covid-19 and changes in our business going forward. These asset impairment charges were included within the line item “Asset impairments” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The fair value measurements employed for our impairment evaluations were based on a discounted cash flow approach. Inputs used in these evaluations included risk-free rates of return, estimated risk premiums, terminal growth rates, working capital assumptions, income tax rates as well as other economic variables.
FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments” requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Our financial instruments are as follows:
•Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash – These balances include cash and cash equivalents as well as restricted cash with maturities of less than three months. The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
•Receivables, less Allowance for Doubtful Accounts – Due to their short-term nature, fair value approximates carrying value.
•Warehouse Receivables – These balances are carried at fair value. The primary source of value is either a contractual purchase commitment from Freddie Mac or a confirmed forward trade commitment for the issuance and purchase of a Fannie Mae or Ginnie Mae MBS (see Note 3).
•Investments in Unconsolidated Subsidiaries – A portion of these investments are carried at fair value as discussed above.
•Available for Sale Debt Securities – Primarily held by our wholly-owned captive insurance company, these investments are carried at their fair value.
•Equity Securities – Primarily held by our wholly-owned captive insurance company, these investments are carried at their fair value.
•Investments Held in Trust - special purpose acquisition company – Funds received as part of the initial public offering of CBRE Acquisition Holdings, Inc. have been deposited in an interest-bearing U.S. based trust account. The funds will be invested only in specified U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds. The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
•Warrant liabilities - A liability of CBRE Acquisition Holdings, Inc., the redeemable warrants are separately traded on the NYSE under the symbol “CBAH.WS.” These warrants are carried at fair value, which was determined at quoted trading price of these instruments.

•Short-Term Borrowings – The majority of this balance represents outstanding amounts under our warehouse lines of credit of our wholly-owned subsidiary, CBRE Capital Markets. Due to the short-term nature and variable interest rates of these instruments, fair value approximates carrying value (see Notes 3 and 8).
•Senior Term Loans – Based upon information from third-party banks (which falls within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy), the estimated fair value of our senior term loans was approximately $770.4 million and $772.2 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Their actual carrying value, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, totaled $771.8 million and $785.7 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively (see Note 8).
•Senior Notes – Based on dealers’ quotes (which falls within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy), the estimated fair value of our 4.875% senior notes was $696.3 million and $702.5 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The actual carrying value of our 4.875% senior notes, net of unamortized debt issuance costs and discount, totaled $595.0 million and $594.5 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The estimated fair value of our 2.500% senior notes was $507.2 million as of June 30, 2021. The actual carrying value of our 2.500% senior notes, net of unamortized debt issuance costs and discount, totaled $487.6 million at June 30, 2021. On December 28, 2020, we redeemed the $425.0 million aggregate outstanding principal amount of our 5.25% senior notes in full (See Note 8).
•Notes Payable on Real Estate - As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the carrying value of our notes payable on real estate, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, was $128.7 million and $79.6 million, respectively. These notes payable were not recourse to CBRE Group, Inc., except for being recourse to the single-purpose entities that held the real estate assets and were the primary obligors on the notes payable. These borrowings have either fixed interest rates or floating interest rates at spreads added to a market index. Although it is possible that certain portions of our notes payable on real estate may have fair values that differ from their carrying values, based on the terms of such loans as compared to current market conditions, or other factors specific to the borrower entity, we do not believe that the fair value of our notes payable is significantly different than their carrying value.
6. Goodwill
We test each of our reporting units for goodwill impairment annually at October 1st, or upon a triggering event, in accordance with ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other.” As of January 1, 2021, we underwent an internal reorganization in our Advisory Services and Global Workplace Solutions reportable segments (see Note 14 for further discussion). This changed the composition of our reporting units which resulted in the reallocation of $101.4 million of goodwill from our Advisory Services to our Global Workplace Solutions reportable segments as of January 1, 2021. Additionally, the change in composition of our reporting units was considered a triggering event for a quantitative test as of January 1, 2021. We determined that no impairment existed as the estimated fair values of our reporting units were in excess of their respective carrying values.
7. Investments in Unconsolidated Subsidiaries
Investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Our investment ownership percentages in equity method investments vary, generally ranging up to 50.0%.
Combined condensed financial information for the entities accounted for using the equity method is as follows (dollars in thousands):

We maintain credit facilities with third-party lenders, which we use for a variety of purposes. On March 4, 2019, CBRE Services, Inc. (CBRE Services) entered into an incremental assumption agreement with respect to its credit agreement, dated October 31, 2017 (such agreement, as amended by a December 20, 2018 incremental loan assumption agreement and such March 4, 2019 incremental assumption agreement, collectively, the 2019 Credit Agreement), which (i) extended the maturity of the U.S. dollar tranche A term loans under such credit agreement, (ii) extended the termination date of the revolving credit commitments available under such credit agreement and (iii) made certain changes to the interest rates and fees applicable to such tranche A term loans and revolving credit commitments under such credit agreement. The proceeds from the new tranche A term loan facility under the 2019 Credit Agreement were used to repay the $300.0 million of tranche A term loans outstanding under the credit agreement in effect prior to the entry into the 2019 incremental assumption agreement.
The 2019 Credit Agreement is a senior unsecured credit facility that is jointly and severally guaranteed by us. On May 21, 2021, we entered into a definitive agreement whereby our subsidiary guarantors were released as guarantors from our 2019 Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2021, the 2019 Credit Agreement provided for the following: (1) a $2.8 billion revolving credit facility, which includes the capacity to obtain letters of credit and swingline loans and terminates on March 4, 2024; (2) a $300.0 million tranche A term loan facility maturing on March 4, 2024, requiring quarterly principal payments unless our leverage ratio (as defined in the 2019 Credit Agreement) is less than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00 on the last day of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding any such payment date and (3) a €400.0 million term loan facility due and payable in full at maturity on December 20, 2023.
On July 9, 2021, CBRE Services entered into an incremental assumption agreement with respect to the 2019 Credit Agreement for purposes of increasing the revolving credit commitments available under the 2019 Credit Agreement by an aggregate principal amount of $350.0 million. The increase is comprised of an increase in domestic borrowings of $330.0 million and an increase in our U.K. subsidiaries' borrowings of $20.0 million.
On August 13, 2015, CBRE Services issued $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.875% senior notes due March 1, 2026 at a price equal to 99.24% of their face value. The 4.875% senior notes are unsecured obligations of CBRE Services, senior to all of its current and future subordinated indebtedness, but effectively subordinated to all of its current and future secured indebtedness. The 4.875% senior notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior basis by us. Interest accrues at a rate of 4.875% per year and is payable semiannually in arrears on March 1 and September 1.
On March 18, 2021, CBRE Services issued $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2.500% senior notes due April 1, 2031 at a price equal to 98.451% of their face value (the 2.500% senior notes). The 2.500% senior notes are unsecured obligations of CBRE Services, senior to all of its current and future subordinated indebtedness, but effectively subordinated to all of its current and future secured indebtedness. Interest accrues at a rate of 2.500% per year and is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on October 1, 2021. The 2.500% senior notes are redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, on or after January 1, 2031 at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount on that date, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding the date of redemption. At any time prior to January 1, 2031, we may redeem all or a portion of the notes at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the notes to

be redeemed and (2) the sum of the present value at the date of redemption of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon to January 1, 2031, assuming the notes matured on January 1, 2031, discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis at an adjusted rate equal to the treasury rate plus 20 basis points, minus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including the redemption date. The amount of the 2.500% senior notes, net of unamortized discount and unamortized debt issuance costs, included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet was $487.6 million at June 30, 2021.
The indentures governing our 4.875% senior notes and 2.500% senior notes contain restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to create or permit liens on assets securing indebtedness, enter into sale/leaseback transactions and enter into consolidations or mergers. In addition, these indentures require that the 4.875% senior notes and 2.500% senior notes be jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior basis by CBRE Group, Inc. and any domestic subsidiary that guarantees the 2019 Credit Agreement. In addition, our 2019 Credit Agreement also requires us to maintain a minimum coverage ratio of consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the 2019 Credit Agreement) to consolidated interest expense of 2.00x and a maximum leverage ratio of total debt less available cash to consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the 2019 Credit Agreement) of 4.25x (and in the case of the first four full fiscal quarters following consummation of a qualified acquisition (as defined in the 2019 Credit Agreement), 4.75x) as of the end of each fiscal quarter. On this basis, our coverage ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense was 39.78x for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2021, and our leverage ratio of total debt less available cash to consolidated EBITDA was (0.02)x as of June 30, 2021.
Short-Term Borrowings
Revolving Credit Facility
The revolving credit facility under the 2019 Credit Agreement allows for borrowings outside of the U.S., with a $200.0 million sub-facility available to CBRE Services, one of our Canadian subsidiaries, one of our Australian subsidiaries and one of our New Zealand subsidiaries and a $300.0 million sub-facility available to CBRE Services and one of our U.K. subsidiaries. On July 9, 2021, the U.K. subsidiaries sub-facility was increased to $320.0 million. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at varying rates, based at our option, on either (1) the applicable fixed rate plus 0.680% to 1.075% or (2) the daily rate plus 0.0% to 0.075%, in each case as determined by reference to our Credit Rating (as defined in the 2019 Credit Agreement). The 2019 Credit Agreement requires us to pay a fee based on the total amount of the revolving credit facility commitment (whether used or unused). As of June 30, 2021, no amount was outstanding under the revolving credit facility other than letters of credit totaling $2.0 million. These letters of credit, which reduce the amount we may borrow under the revolving credit facility, were primarily issued in the ordinary course of business.
Warehouse Lines of Credit
CBRE Capital Markets has warehouse lines of credit with third-party lenders for the purpose of funding mortgage loans that will be resold, and a funding arrangement with Fannie Mae for the purpose of selling a percentage of certain closed multifamily loans to Fannie Mae. These warehouse lines are recourse only to CBRE Capital Markets and are secured by our related warehouse receivables. See Note 3 for additional information.

9. Leases
We are the lessee in contracts for our office space tenancies, for leased vehicles and for our wholly-owned subsidiary Hana. These arrangements account for the significant portion of our lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. We monitor our service arrangements to evaluate whether they meet the definition of a lease.

10. Commitments and Contingencies
We are a party to a number of pending or threatened lawsuits arising out of, or incident to, our ordinary course of business. We believe that any losses in excess of the amounts accrued therefore as liabilities on our financial statements are unlikely to be significant, but litigation is inherently uncertain and there is the potential for a material adverse effect on our financial statements if one or more matters are resolved in a particular period in an amount materially in excess of what we anticipated.
In January 2008, CBRE MCI, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CBRE Capital Markets, entered into an agreement with Fannie Mae under Fannie Mae’s Delegated Underwriting and Servicing Lender Program (DUS Program), to provide financing for multifamily housing with five or more units. Under the DUS Program, CBRE MCI originates, underwrites, closes and services loans without prior approval by Fannie Mae, and typically, is subject to sharing up to one-third of any losses on loans originated under the DUS Program. CBRE MCI has funded loans with unpaid principal balances of $34.6 billion at June 30, 2021, of which $30.0 billion was subject to such loss sharing arrangements. CBRE MCI, under its agreement with Fannie Mae, must post cash reserves or other acceptable collateral under formulas established by Fannie Mae to provide for sufficient capital in the event losses occur. As of both June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, CBRE MCI had a $95.0 million letter of credit under this reserve arrangement and had recorded a liability of approximately $61.2 million and $57.1 million, respectively, for its loan loss guarantee obligation under such arrangement. Fannie Mae’s recourse under the DUS Program is limited to the assets of CBRE MCI, which assets totaled approximately $796.1 million (including $323.9 million of warehouse receivables, a substantial majority of which are pledged against warehouse lines of credit and are therefore not available to Fannie Mae) at June 30, 2021.
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was enacted in the United States in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The CARES Act, among other things, permits borrowers with government-backed mortgages from Government Sponsored Enterprises who are experiencing a financial hardship to obtain forbearance of their loans. For Fannie Mae loans that we service, CBRE MCI is obligated to advance (for a forbearance period up to 90 consecutive days and potentially longer) scheduled principal and interest payments to Fannie Mae, regardless of whether the borrowers actually make the payments. These advances are reimbursable by Fannie Mae after 120 days. As of June 30, 2021, total advances for principal and interest were $9.3 million, of which $5.6 million have already been reimbursed.
CBRE Capital Markets participates in Freddie Mac’s Multifamily Small Balance Loan (SBL) Program. Under the SBL program, CBRE Capital Markets has certain repurchase and loss reimbursement obligations. We could potentially be obligated to repurchase any SBL loan originated by CBRE Capital Markets that remains in default for 120 days following the forbearance period, if the default occurred during the first 12 months after origination and such loan had not been earlier securitized. In addition, CBRE Capital Markets may be responsible for a loss not to exceed 10% of the original principal amount of any SBL loan that is not securitized and goes into default after the 12-month repurchase period. CBRE Capital Markets must post a cash reserve or other acceptable collateral to provide for sufficient capital in the event the obligations are triggered. As of both June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, CBRE Capital Markets had posted a $5.0 million letter of credit under this reserve arrangement.
We had outstanding letters of credit totaling $145.7 million as of June 30, 2021, excluding letters of credit for which we have outstanding liabilities already accrued on our consolidated balance sheet related to our subsidiaries’ outstanding reserves for claims under certain insurance programs as well as letters of credit related to operating leases. The CBRE Capital Markets letters of credit totaling $95.0 million as of June 30, 2021 referred to in the preceding paragraphs represented the majority of the $145.7 million outstanding letters of credit as of such date. The remaining letters of credit are primarily executed by us in the ordinary course of business and expire at the end of each of the respective agreements.
We had guarantees totaling $38.7 million as of June 30, 2021, excluding guarantees related to pension liabilities, consolidated indebtedness and other obligations for which we have outstanding liabilities already accrued on our consolidated balance sheet, and excluding guarantees related to operating leases. The $38.7 million primarily represents guarantees executed by us in the ordinary course of business, including various guarantees of management and vendor contracts in our operations overseas, which expire at the end of each of the respective agreements.

In addition, as of June 30, 2021, we had issued numerous non-recourse carveout, completion and budget guarantees relating to development projects for the benefit of third parties. These guarantees are commonplace in our industry and are made by us in the ordinary course of our Real Estate Investments business. Non-recourse carveout guarantees generally require that our project-entity borrower not commit specified improper acts, with us potentially liable for all or a portion of such entity’s indebtedness or other damages suffered by the lender if those acts occur. Completion and budget guarantees generally require us to complete construction of the relevant project within a specified timeframe and/or within a specified budget, with us potentially being liable for costs to complete in excess of such timeframe or budget. While there can be no assurance, we do not expect to incur any material losses under these guarantees.
An important part of the strategy for our Real Estate Investments business involves investing our capital in certain real estate investments with our clients. These co-investments generally total up to 2.0% of the equity in a particular fund. As of June 30, 2021, we had aggregate commitments of $118.7 million to fund these future co-investments. Additionally, an important part of our Real Estate Investments business strategy is to invest in unconsolidated real estate subsidiaries as a principal (in most cases co-investing with our clients). As of June 30, 2021, we had committed to fund $55.5 million of additional capital to these unconsolidated subsidiaries.
11. Income Taxes
Our provision for income taxes on a consolidated basis was $133.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to $18.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase of $114.6 million is primarily related to the corresponding increase in our consolidated pre-tax book income. Our effective tax rate increased to 23.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from 18.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 primarily resulted from a percentage decrease of favorable permanent book tax differences and tax credits in 2021.
Our provision for income taxes on a consolidated basis was $209.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to $70.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase of $139.8 million is primarily related to the corresponding increase in consolidated pre-tax book income. Our effective tax rate increased to 22.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from 21.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily resulting from a percentage decrease of favorable permanent book tax differences and tax credits in 2021.
Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was different than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to U.S. state taxes and favorable permanent book tax differences.
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the company had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $172.7 million and $168.5 million, respectively. The net increase of $4.2 million primarily resulting from an accrual of gross unrecognized tax benefits of $9.9 million and a release of $5.7 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits primarily related to the expiration of statute of limitations in various tax jurisdictions.
The CARES Act has not had, nor is it expected to have, a significant impact on our effective tax rate for 2021.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, 3,974 and 15,852, respectively, of contingently issuable shares were excluded from the computation of diluted income per share because their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, 2,381,476 and 1,585,601, respectively, of contingently issuable shares were excluded from the computation of diluted income per share because their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect.
In February 2019, our board of directors authorized a new program for the repurchase of up to $300.0 million of our common stock over three years, effective March 11, 2019. In both August and November 2019, our board of directors authorized an additional $100.0 million under our program, bringing the total authorized repurchase amount under the program to a total of $500.0 million. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we spent $50.0 million to repurchase 1,050,084 shares of our common stock at an average price of $47.62 per share using cash on hand. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we spent $64.1 million to repurchase an additional 831,274 shares of our common stock with an average price of $77.15 per share using cash on hand. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we spent $24.1 million to repurchase an additional 300,454 shares of our common stock with an average price of $80.31 per share using cash on hand. As of June 30, 2021, we had $261.7 million of capacity remaining under our stock repurchase program.

We had contract liabilities totaling $200.7 million ($197.4 million of which was current) and $164.1 million ($162.0 million of which was current) as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized revenue of $142.4 million that was included in the contract liability balance at December 31, 2020.
14. Segments
We organize our operations around, and publicly report our financial results on, three global business segments: (1) Advisory Services; (2) Global Workplace Solutions and (3) Real Estate Investments. Effective January 1, 2021, we have realigned our organizational structure and performance measure to how our chief operating decision maker (CODM) views the company. This includes a “Corporate, other and elimination” component and a segment measurement of profit and loss referred to as segment operating profit.
Advisory Services provides a comprehensive range of services globally, including property leasing, property sales, mortgage services, property management, and valuation. Global Workplace Solutions provides a broad suite of integrated, contractually-based outsourcing services to occupiers of real estate, including facilities management and project management. Effective January 1, 2021, transaction services was fully moved under the Advisory Services segment and project management was fully moved under the Global Workplace Solutions segment. Previously transaction services and project management were split between the Global Workplace Solutions segment and the Advisory Services segment. Real Estate Investments includes investment management services provided globally, development services in the U.S. and U.K. and flexible office space solutions. Corporate and other includes activities not attributed to our core business, primarily consisting of corporate headquarters costs for executive officers and certain other central functions, as well as certain strategic equity investments. These costs, which were previously allocated to the business segments on a reasonable basis, are no longer allocated and are reported under Corporate and other. It also includes eliminations related to inter-segment revenue. Prior period segment results for all of our reportable segments have been recast to conform to the above changes.
Segment operating profit is the measure reported to the CODM for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to each segment and assessing performance of each segment. Segment operating profit represents earnings before net interest expense, write-off of financing costs on extinguished debt, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and asset impairments, as well as adjustments related to the following: certain carried interest incentive compensation expense (reversal) to align with the timing of associated revenue, impact of fair value adjustments to real estate assets acquired in the Telford Acquisition (purchase accounting) that were sold in the period, costs incurred related to legal entity restructuring, costs associated with workforce optimization efforts and integration and other costs related to acquisitions. This metric excludes the impact of corporate overhead as these costs are now reported under Corporate and other.

15. Subsequent Events
On July 29, 2021, we entered into a share purchase agreement to acquire a 60% ownership interest in Turner & Townsend Holdings Limited ("Turner & Townsend") for approximately $1.3 billion in cash, a portion of which will be deferred. We plan to fund the purchase with cash on hand and our revolving credit facility, if needed. Turner & Townsend, based in the U.K., is a global professional services company specializing in program management, project management, and cost consulting across the commercial real estate, infrastructure and natural resources sectors. The acquisition is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2021, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. Due to our majority interest and rights granted through our ownership, we will consolidate Turner & Townsend’s financial results in our Global Workplace Solutions segment upon completion of the transaction.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (Quarterly Report) for CBRE Group, Inc. for the three months ended June 30, 2021 represents an update to the more detailed and comprehensive disclosures included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 (2020 Annual Report). Accordingly, you should read the following discussion in conjunction with the information included in our 2020 Annual Report as well as the unaudited financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
In addition, the statements and assumptions in this Quarterly Report that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 or Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, each as amended, including, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies and prospects as well as estimates of industry growth for the next quarter and beyond. For important information regarding these forward-looking statements, please see the discussion below under the caption “Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements.”
Overview
CBRE Group, Inc. is a Delaware corporation. References to “CBRE,” “the company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to CBRE Group, Inc. and include all of its consolidated subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated or the context requires otherwise.
We are the world’s largest commercial real estate services and investment firm, based on 2020 revenue, with leading global market positions in leasing, property sales, occupier outsourcing and valuation businesses. As of December 31, 2020, the company has more than 100,000 employees (excluding affiliates) serving clients in more than 100 countries.
Our business is focused on providing services to real estate investors and occupiers. For investors, we provide capital markets (property sales, mortgage origination, sales and servicing), property leasing, investment management, property management, valuation and development services, among others. For occupiers, we provide facilities management, project management, transaction (both property sales and leasing) and consulting services, among others. We provide services under the following brand names: “CBRE” (real estate advisory and outsourcing services); “CBRE Global Investors” (investment management); “Trammell Crow Company” (U.S. development); “Telford Homes” (U.K. development) and “Hana” (flexible-space solutions). In 2020, CBRE sponsored a special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC, CBRE Acquisition Holdings, Inc., which trades on the NYSE under the symbols “CBAH,” “CBAH.U,” and “CBAH.WS.” On July 13, 2021, CBRE Acquisition Holdings, Inc. entered into a definitive merger agreement with Altus Power, Inc. that is expected to result in Altus Power, Inc. becoming a public company listed on the NYSE under the new ticker symbol “AMPS.” The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Our revenue mix has shifted toward more stable revenue sources, particularly occupier outsourcing, and our dependence on highly cyclical property sales and lease transaction revenue has declined markedly over the past decade. We believe we are well-positioned to capture a substantial and growing share of market opportunities at a time when investors and occupiers increasingly prefer to purchase integrated, account-based services on a national and global basis. We generate revenue from both management fees (large multi-year portfolio and per-project contracts) and commissions on transactions.
In 2020, we generated revenue from a highly diversified base of clients, including more than 90 of the Fortune 100 companies. We have been an S&P 500 company since 2006 and in 2021 we were ranked to #122 on the Fortune 500. We have been voted the most recognized commercial real estate brand in the Lipsey Company survey for 20 years in a row (including 2021). We have also been rated a World’s Most Ethical Company by the Ethisphere Institute for eight consecutive years (including 2021), and are included in both the Dow Jones World Sustainability Index and the Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index for two years in a row.
The Covid-19 pandemic has primarily impacted the property sales and leasing lines of business in the Advisory Services segment. Many property owners and occupiers put transactions on hold and withdrew existing mandates, sharply reducing sales and leasing volumes. The effects of Covid-19 have eased in parts of the world where progress has been made with vaccine distribution and global economic conditions have improved. Nevertheless Covid-19 continues to pose public health challenges that impact our operations, particularly as new strains emerge and spread and vaccine administration is slow in parts of the world. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the majority of workers remain out of their offices and occupier confidence in making long-term office leasing decisions has not returned to pre-pandemic levels.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. The estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and on other factors that we believe to be reasonable. Actual results may differ from those estimates. We believe that the following critical accounting policies represent the areas where more significant judgments and estimates are used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. A discussion of such critical accounting policies, which include revenue recognition, goodwill and other intangible assets, and income taxes can be found in our 2020 Annual Report. There have been no material changes to these policies as of June 30, 2021.
New Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) set forth in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
Seasonality
In a typical year, a significant portion of our revenue is seasonal, which an investor should keep in mind when comparing our financial condition and results of operations on a quarter-by-quarter basis. Historically, our revenue, operating income, net income and cash flow from operating activities have tended to be lowest in the first quarter and highest in the fourth quarter of each year. Revenue, earnings and cash flow have generally been concentrated in the fourth calendar quarter due to the focus on completing sales, financing and leasing transactions prior to year-end. The severe and ongoing impact of the Covid-19 pandemic may cause seasonality to deviate from historical patterns.
Inflation
Our commissions and other variable costs related to revenue are primarily affected by commercial real estate market supply and demand, which may be affected by inflation. However, to date, we believe that general inflation has not had a material impact upon our operations.
Items Affecting Comparability
When you read our financial statements and the information included in this Quarterly Report, you should consider that we have experienced, and continue to experience, several material trends and uncertainties (particularly those caused or exacerbated by Covid-19) that have affected our financial condition and results of operations that make it challenging to predict our future performance based on our historical results. We believe that the following material trends and uncertainties are crucial to an understanding of the variability in our historical earnings and cash flows and the potential for continued variability in the future.
Macroeconomic Conditions
Economic trends and government policies affect global and regional commercial real estate markets as well as our operations directly. These include overall economic activity and employment growth, particularly office-based employment; current and changes in interest rate levels; the cost and availability of credit; and the impact of tax and regulatory policies. Periods of economic weakness or recession, significantly rising interest rates, fiscal uncertainty, declining employment levels, decreasing demand for commercial real estate, falling real estate values, disruption to global capital markets, or the public perception that any of these events may occur, will negatively affect the performance of certain portions of our business, with the greatest impact likely on some business lines within our Advisory segment.
Compensation is our largest expense and our sales and leasing professionals generally are paid on a commission and/or bonus basis that correlates with their revenue production. As a result, the negative effects on our Advisory segment operating margins of difficult market conditions, such as current conditions resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic, are partially mitigated by the inherent variability of our compensation cost structure. In addition, when negative economic conditions have been particularly severe, like during the Covid-19 pandemic, we have moved decisively to lower operating expenses to improve financial performance, and will restore certain expenses as economic conditions improve.
Additionally, our revenue has become more resilient, primarily as a result of the growth of our outsourcing business, which is largely contractual, and we believe this resilient revenue should help to offset the negative impacts that macroeconomic deterioration could have on other parts of our business. Nevertheless, adverse global and regional economic trends could pose significant risks to the performance of our consolidated operations and financial condition.

Effects of Acquisitions
We have historically made significant use of strategic acquisitions to add and enhance service capabilities around the world. During the first half of 2021, we completed our integration of Hana with Industrious National Management Company LLC (Industrious), increasing our stake to 40% as of June 30, 2021. In October 2019, we acquired Telford Homes Plc (Telford), a leading developer of multifamily residential properties in the London area. Telford, which is reported in our Real Estate Investments segment, expanded our real estate development business outside the U.S. for the first time.
Strategic in-fill acquisitions have also played a key role in strengthening our service offerings. The companies we acquired have generally been regional or specialty firms that complement our existing platform, or independent affiliates, which, in some cases, we held a small equity interest. During 2020, we completed six in-fill acquisitions: leading local facilities management firms in Spain and Italy, a U.S. firm that helps companies reduce telecommunications costs, a technology-focused project management firm based in Florida, a firm specializing in performing real estate valuations in South Korea, and a facilities management and technical maintenance firm in Australia. In the first half of 2021, we completed four in-fill acquisitions: a construction management and project advisory services firm based in Los Angeles; a technical facilities services firm based in Denmark; an infrastructure and development services firm based in Australia, and a gaming sector advisory firm based in Las Vegas.
We believe strategic acquisitions can significantly decrease the cost, time and resources necessary to attain a meaningful competitive position – or expand our capabilities – within targeted markets or business lines. In general, however, most acquisitions will initially have an adverse impact on our operating income and net income as a result of transaction-related expenditures, including severance, lease termination, transaction and deferred financing costs, as well as costs and charges associated with integrating the acquired business and integrating its financial and accounting systems into our own.
Our acquisition structures often include deferred and/or contingent purchase consideration in future periods that are subject to the passage of time or achievement of certain performance metrics and other conditions. As of June 30, 2021, we have accrued deferred purchase consideration totaling $125.6 million, which is included in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” and in “Other long-term liabilities” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets set forth in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
International Operations
We conduct a significant portion of our business and employ a substantial number of people outside of the U.S. and, as a result, we are subject to risks associated with doing business globally. Our Real Estate Investments segment has significant euro-denominated assets under management, or AUM, as well as associated revenue and earnings in Europe. In addition, our Global Workplace Solutions segment also derives significant revenue and earnings in foreign currencies, including the euro and British pound sterling. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates have resulted and may continue to result in corresponding fluctuations in our AUM, revenue and earnings.
We are closely monitoring the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on business conditions across all regions worldwide. Covid-19 has significantly impacted our operations and has the potential to further constrain our business activity, although its effects have eased in part of the world where vaccines have been administered and economic activity has recovered.
Our businesses could also suffer from political or economic disruptions (or the perception that such disruptions may occur) that affect interest rates or liquidity or create financial, market or regulatory uncertainty in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Any currency volatility associated with the Covid-19 pandemic, geopolitical or economic dislocations could impact our results of operations.

_______________________________
(1)Approximately 37 currencies comprise 6.9% and 6.7% of our revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and approximately 37 currencies comprise 6.8% and 6.6% of our revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.
Although we operate globally, we report our results in U.S. dollars. As a result, the strengthening or weakening of the U.S. dollar may positively or negatively impact our reported results. For example, we estimate that had the British pound sterling-to-U.S. dollar exchange rates been 10% higher during the six months ended June 30, 2021, the net impact would have been an increase in pre-tax income of $6.5 million. Had the euro-to-U.S. dollar exchange rates been 10% higher during the six months ended June 30, 2021, the net impact would have been an increase in pre-tax income of $14.0 million. These hypothetical calculations estimate the impact of translating results into U.S. dollars and do not include an estimate of the impact that a 10% change in the U.S. dollar against other currencies would have had on our foreign operations.
Due to the constantly changing currency exposures to which we are subject and the volatility of currency exchange rates, we cannot predict the effect of exchange rate fluctuations upon future operating results. In addition, fluctuations in currencies relative to the U.S. dollar may make it more difficult to perform period-to-period comparisons of our reported results of operations. Our international operations also are subject to, among other things, political instability and changing regulatory environments, which affect the currency markets and which as a result may adversely affect our future financial condition and results of operations. We routinely monitor these risks and related costs and evaluate the appropriate amount of oversight to allocate towards business activities in foreign countries where such risks and costs are particularly significant.

Net revenue and adjusted EBITDA are not recognized measurements under GAAP. When analyzing our operating performance, investors should use these measures in addition to, and not as an alternative for, their most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. We generally use these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate operating performance and for other discretionary purposes. We believe these measures provide a more complete understanding of ongoing operations, enhance comparability of current results to prior periods and may be useful for investors to analyze our financial performance because they eliminate the impact of selected charges that may obscure trends in the underlying performance of our business. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of net revenue and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Net revenue is gross revenue less costs largely associated with subcontracted vendor work performed for clients and generally has no margin. Prior to 2021, the company utilized fee revenue to analyze the overall financial performance. This metric excluded additional reimbursed costs, primarily related to employees dedicated to clients, some of which included minimal margin.
We use adjusted EBITDA as an indicator of consolidated financial performance. It represents earnings before net interest expense, write-off of financing costs on extinguished debt, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, asset impairments, adjustments related to certain carried interest incentive compensation expense (reversal) to align with the timing of associated revenue, fair value adjustments to real estate assets acquired in the Telford Acquisition (purchase accounting) that were sold in the period, costs incurred related to legal entity restructuring, costs associated with workforce optimization efforts and integration and other costs related to acquisitions. We believe that investors may find these measures useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry because their calculations generally eliminate the effects of acquisitions, which would include impairment charges of goodwill and intangibles created from acquisitions, the effects of financings and income taxes and the accounting effects of capital spending.
Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for our discretionary use because it does not consider certain cash requirements such as tax and debt service payments. This measure may also differ from the amounts calculated under similarly titled definitions in our credit facilities and debt instruments, which are further adjusted to reflect certain other cash and non-cash charges and are used by us to determine compliance with financial covenants therein and our ability to engage in certain activities, such as incurring additional debt. We also use adjusted EBITDA as a significant component when measuring our operating performance under our employee incentive compensation programs.
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as follows (dollars in thousands):

(1)Primarily represents costs incurred related to workforce optimization initiated and executed in the second quarter of 2020 as part of management’s cost containment efforts in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The charges are cash expenditures primarily for severance costs incurred related to this effort. of the total costs, $7.4 million was included within the “Cost of revenue” line item and $30.2 million was included in the “Operating, administrative and other” line item in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2020
We reported consolidated net income of $442.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 on revenue of $6.5 billion as compared to consolidated net income of $81.9 million on revenue of $5.4 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2020.
Our revenue on a consolidated basis for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $1.1 billion, or 20.0%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. The revenue increase reflects growth across the three business segments; increases in revenue in our Global Workplace Solutions segment due to growth in our facilities management and project management business, increases in our Advisory Services segment with notable growth in sales commission supported by a moderate growth in other advisory services such as lease revenue, property management and valuation services, and increases in asset management fees and development and construction revenue. Foreign currency translation had a 4.6% positive impact

on total revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily driven by strength in the Canadian dollar, British pound sterling and euro, partially offset by weakness in the Argentine peso, and Japanese Yen.
Our cost of revenue on a consolidated basis increased by $617.2 million, or 14.0%, during the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020. This increase was primarily due to higher costs associated with our Global Workplace Solutions segment due to growth in our facilities management and project management business and higher commission expense associated with our Advisory Services segment due to growth in our sales and leasing business. In addition, foreign currency translation had a 4.2% negative impact on total cost of revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2021. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue decreased to 77.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from 81.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily driven by the Advisory Services segment where revenue growth has outpaced fixed cost growth.
Our operating, administrative and other expenses on a consolidated basis increased by $186.4 million, or 24.2%, during the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020. The increase was primarily due to an increase in overall bonus accrual, other incentive compensation, and stock compensation expense tied to significant growth in performance this quarter as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020 when the operating results were impacted by the pandemic. Foreign currency translation had a 4.5% negative impact on total operating, administrative and other expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2021. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue increased slightly to 14.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from 14.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2020.
Our depreciation and amortization expense on a consolidated basis increased by $2.7 million, or 2.3%, during the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020. This increase was primarily attributable to higher amortization expense associated with mortgage servicing rights.
Our gain on disposition of real estate on a consolidated basis was $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, which was an increase over the prior year period. These gains resulted from property sales within our Real Estate Investments segment.
Our equity income from unconsolidated subsidiaries on a consolidated basis increased by $192.7 million, or 989.0%, during the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020, primarily driven by higher equity earnings associated with gains on property sales reported in our Real Estate Investments segment and higher equity pick up associated with certain equity investments reported in our Corporate and other segment.
Our consolidated interest expense, net of interest income, decreased by $4.2 million, or 23.3%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020. This decrease was primarily due to interest expense associated with the 5.25% senior note which was fully paid off in December 2020, and offset by interest expense associated with the 2.500% senior note issued in the first half of 2021.
Our provision for income taxes on a consolidated basis was $133.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to $18.8 million for the same period in 2020. The increase in tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 of $114.6 million was primarily related to the corresponding increase in our consolidated pre-tax book income. Our effective tax rate increased to 23.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from 18.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 primarily resulted from a percentage decrease of favorable permanent book tax differences and tax credits in 2021.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2020
We reported consolidated net income of $708.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 on revenue of $12.4 billion as compared to consolidated net income of $254.1 million on revenue of $11.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Our revenue on a consolidated basis for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $1.1 billion, or 10.0%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The revenue increase reflects higher revenue in our Global Workplace Solutions segment (up 5.9%) led by growth in our facilities management line of business, driven by its contractual nature, an increase in higher revenue in our Advisory Services segment led primarily by higher sales (increase of 48.8% as compared to the same period in 2020) with an overall increase in its other advisory services, and improved revenue in our Real Estate Investments segment (up 21.8%) largely due to an increase in sales in our development services line of business and investment management fees related to growth in AUM. Foreign currency translation had a 3.3% positive impact on total revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily driven by strength in the Australian dollar, British pound sterling and euro, partially offset by weakness in the Argentine peso and Brazilian real.

Our cost of revenue on a consolidated basis increased by $624.1 million, or 6.8%, during the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020. This increase was primarily due to higher costs associated with our Global Workplace Solutions segment due to growth in our facilities management and project management business and higher costs associated with our Advisory Services segment due to growth in our sales and leasing business. Foreign currency translation had a 3.1% negative impact on total cost of revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2021. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue decreased to 78.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from 80.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. This was primarily due to Advisory Services segment where revenue growth has outpaced increase in fixed costs.
Our operating, administrative and other expenses on a consolidated basis increased by $224.7 million, or 14.4%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020. The increase was primarily due to an increase in overall bonus accrual, other incentive compensation, and stock compensation expense tied to significant improvement in the business performance during the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to six months ended June 30, 2020. Foreign currency translation also had a 3.5% negative impact on total operating expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2021. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 14.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from 13.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to increased performance driven incentive expense partially offset by a decrease in discretionary expense such as travel and marketing.
Our depreciation and amortization expense on a consolidated basis increased by $11.0 million, or 4.8%, during the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020. This increase was primarily attributable to a rise in amortization expense related to higher mortgage servicing rights and loan payoffs.
We did not incur any asset impairments during the six months ended June 30, 2021. Our asset impairments on a consolidated basis totaled $75.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and consisted of a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $25.0 million in our Real Estate Investments segment and $50.2 million of non-cash asset impairment charges in our Global Workplace Solutions segment. During 2020, we deemed there to be triggering events in the first quarter of 2020 that required testing of certain assets for impairment at that time. Based on these tests, we recorded the aforementioned non-cash impairment charges, which were driven by lower anticipated cash flows in certain businesses directly resulting from a downturn in forecasts as well as increased forecast risk due to Covid-19.
Our gain on disposition of real estate on a consolidated basis decreased by $21.3 million, or 95.1%, during the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020. These gains resulted from decreased activity related to property sales within our Real Estate Investments segment.
Our equity income from unconsolidated subsidiaries on a consolidated basis increased by $255.6 million, or 637.3%, during the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020, primarily driven by higher equity earnings associated with gains on property sales reported in our Real Estate Investments segment and higher equity pick ups associated with certain equity investments reported in our Corporate and other segment.
Our consolidated interest expense, net of interest income, decreased by $10.1 million, or 29.7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020. This decrease was primarily due to interest expense associated with the 5.25% senior note which was fully paid off in December 2020, and offset by interest expense associated with the 2.500% senior note issued in the first half of 2021.
Our provision for income taxes on a consolidated basis was $209.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to $70.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase of approximately $139.8 million was primarily related to the corresponding increase in consolidated pre-tax book income. Our effective tax rate increased to 22.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from 21.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily resulted from a percentage decrease of favorable permanent book tax differences and tax credits in 2021. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was enacted in the United States in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The CARES Act has not had, nor is it expected to have, a significant impact on our effective tax rate for 2021.

Segment Operations
We organize our operations around, and publicly report our financial results on, three global business segments: (1) Advisory Services; (2) Global Workplace Solutions; and (3) Real Estate Investments. Effective January 1, 2021, we have realigned our organizational structure and performance measure to how our chief operating decision maker views the company. This includes a “Corporate, other and eliminations” component and a segment measurement of profit and loss referred to as segment operating profit.
Advisory Services provides a comprehensive range of services globally, including property leasing, property sales, mortgage services, property management, and valuation. Global Workplace Solutions provides a broad suite of integrated, contractually-based outsourcing services to occupiers of real estate, including facilities management and project management. Effective January 1, 2021, transaction services was fully moved under the Advisory Services segment and project management was fully moved under the Global Workplace Solutions segment. Previously transaction services and project management were split between the Global Workplace Solutions segment and the Advisory Services segment. Real Estate Investments includes investment management services provided globally, development services in the U.S. and U.K. and flexible office space solutions. Corporate and other includes activities not attributed to our core business, primarily consisting of corporate headquarters costs for executive officers and certain other central functions. These costs are not allocated to the other business segments. It also includes eliminations related to inter-segment revenue. Prior period segment results for all of our reportable segments have been recast to conform to the above changes. For additional information on our segments, see Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) set forth in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

(1)Primarily represents costs incurred related to workforce optimization initiated and executed in the second quarter of 2020 as part of management’s cost containment efforts in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The charges are cash expenditures primarily for severance costs incurred related to this effort. of the total costs, $6.3 million was included within the “Cost of revenue” line item and $6.4 million was included in the “Operating, administrative and other” line item in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2020
Revenue increased by $682.8 million, or 46.9%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. The revenue increase primarily reflects higher sales and leasing revenue, as well as increase in commercial mortgage origination activity, property management fees and valuation revenue. Foreign currency translation had a 5.2% positive impact on total revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily driven by strength in the Australian dollar and euro, partially offset by weakness in the Japanese yen.
Cost of revenue increased by $342.1 million, or 38.4%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020, primarily due to increased commission expense resulting from higher sales and leasing revenue. Foreign currency translation had a 4.8% negative impact on total cost of revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2021. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue decreased to 57.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 versus 61.2% for the same period in 2020 This increase in gross margin is primarily due to revenue growth outpacing fixed cost growth.

Operating, administrative and other expenses increased by $67.3 million, or 17.9%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. This increase was primarily due to overall bonus accrual, other incentive compensation, and stock compensation expense tied to better operating results this quarter as compared to three months ended June 30, 2020. In addition, there has been an increase in new hires to support the growth of the business. Foreign currency translation had a 4.9% negative impact on total operating expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2021.
In connection with the origination and sale of mortgage loans for which the company retains servicing rights, we record servicing assets or liabilities based on the fair value of the retained 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). Subsequent to the initial recording, MSRs are amortized (within amortization expense) and carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value in other intangible assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. They are amortized in proportion to and over the estimated period that the servicing income is expected to be received. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, MSRs contributed to operating income $41.8 million of gains recognized in conjunction with the origination and sale of mortgage loans, offset by $39.7 million of amortization of related intangible assets. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, MSRs contributed to operating income $37.7 million of gains recognized in conjunction with the origination and sale of mortgage loans, offset by $31.9 million of amortization of related intangible assets.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2020
Revenue increased by $0.6 billion, or 18.1%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The revenue increase primarily reflects higher sales and leasing revenue, as well as increase in commercial mortgage origination activity, property management and valuation revenue. Foreign currency translation had a 3.4% positive impact on total revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily driven by strength in Australian dollar, British pound sterling and euro, partially offset by weakness in the Brazilian real.
Cost of revenue increased by $275.5 million, or 14.2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020, primarily due to increased commission expense resulting from higher sales and leasing revenue and increased professional compensation to support the growth in the business. Foreign currency translation also had a 3.4% negative impact on total cost of revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2021. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue decreased slightly to 57.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from 59.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Operating, administrative and other expenses increased by $36.6 million, or 4.6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. This increase was primarily due to overall bonus accrual, other incentive compensation, and stock compensation expense tied to better operating results this period as compared to six months ended June 30, 2020. This was offset by a decrease in certain operating expenses such as travel and entertainment and salaries for office and administrative staff due to cost cutting measures that were implemented last year. Foreign currency translation also had a 3.5% negative impact on total operating expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, MSRs contributed to operating income $92.1 million of gains recognized in conjunction with the origination and sale of mortgage loans, offset by $75.5 million of amortization of related intangible assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, MSRs contributed to operating income $73.3 million of gains recognized in conjunction with the origination and sale of mortgage loans, offset by $62.4 million of amortization of related intangible assets.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2020
Revenue increased by $312.3 million, or 8.3%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to growth in our facilities management line of business, which is contractual in nature. Foreign currency translation had a 4.0% positive impact on total revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily driven by weakness in the Argentine peso, partially offset by strength in the British pound sterling and euro.
Cost of revenue increased by $246.2 million, or 7.1%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020, driven by the higher revenue leading to higher pass through costs and higher professional compensation. Foreign currency translation had a 3.9% negative impact on total cost of revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2021. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue decreased slightly to 91.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from 92.4% for the same period in 2020.

Operating, administrative and other expenses increased by $29.3 million, or 17.9%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. This increase was attributable to higher bonus accrual tied to segment and consolidated results and continued investments to sustain the growth in the business. Foreign currency translation had a 4.8% negative impact on total operating expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2020
Revenue increased by $453.6 million, or 5.9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to growth in our facilities management line of business, which is contractual in nature. Foreign currency translation had a 3.0% positive impact on total revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily driven by weakness in the Argentine peso and Brazilian real, partially offset by strength in the British pound sterling and euro.
Cost of revenue increased by $332.4 million, or 4.7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020, driven by the higher revenue leading to higher pass through costs and increased professional compensation. Foreign currency translation had a 2.9% negative impact on total cost of revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2021. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue decreased slightly to 91.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from 92.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Operating, administrative and other expenses increased by $38.7 million, or 11.7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. This increase was attributable to higher bonus accrual tied to segment and consolidated results and continued investments to sustain the growth in the business in form of office management and administrative salaries. These increases were partially offset by benefits from targeted reduction in certain operating expenses, such as travel and entertainment costs, during the six months ended June 30, 2021. Foreign currency translation also had a 3.6% negative impact on total operating expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2020
Revenue increased by $81.8 million, or 50.6%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily driven by an increase in real estate sales and an increase in construction management fees in our development services line of business. Investment management fees increased due to growth in AUM. Foreign currency translation had a 10.6% positive impact on total revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2021, primarily driven by strength in the British pound sterling and euro.
Cost of revenue increased by $26.9 million, or 89.8%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily driven by an increase in cost related to real estate development and construction services which is consistent with an increase in sales in our development service line of business. Foreign currency translation had a 20.4% negative impact on total cost of revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Operating, administrative and other expenses increased by $107.7 million, or 84.4%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020, primarily due to an increase in compensation and bonuses in our

development services and investment management line of business consistent with higher revenue growth. Foreign currency translation had a 6.5% negative impact on total operating expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2021.
A roll forward of our AUM by product type for the three months ended June 30, 2021 is as follows (dollars in billions):

| Funds |  | Separate Accounts |  | Securities |  | Total
Balance at March 31, 2021 | $ | 47.8 |  |  | $ | 68.4 |  |  | $ | 8.3 |  |  | $ | 124.5 |
Inflows | 1.9 |  |  | 2.8 |  |  | 0.5 |  |  | 5.2 |
Outflows | (1.2) |  |  | (1.7) |  |  | (0.7) |  |  | (3.6) |
Market appreciation | 1.1 |  |  | 1.1 |  |  | 0.8 |  |  | 3.0 |
Balance at June 30, 2021 | $ | 49.6 |  |  | $ | 70.6 |  |  | $ | 8.9 |  |  | $ | 129.1 |

AUM generally refers to the properties and other assets with respect to which we provide (or participate in) oversight, investment management services and other advice, and which generally consist of real estate properties or loans, securities portfolios and investments in operating companies and joint ventures. Our AUM is intended principally to reflect the extent of our presence in the real estate market, not the basis for determining our management fees. Our assets under management consist of:
•the total fair market value of the real estate properties and other assets either wholly-owned or held by joint ventures and other entities in which our sponsored funds or investment vehicles and client accounts have invested or to which they have provided financing. Committed (but unfunded) capital from investors in our sponsored funds is not included in this component of our AUM. The value of development properties is included at estimated completion cost. In the case of real estate operating companies, the total value of real properties controlled by the companies, generally through joint ventures, is included in AUM; and
•the net asset value of our managed securities portfolios, including investments (which may be comprised of committed but uncalled capital) in private real estate funds under our fund of funds investments.
Our calculation of AUM may differ from the calculations of other asset managers, and as a result, this measure may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other asset managers.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2020
Revenue increased by $81.4 million, or 21.8%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily driven by an increase in real estate sales in our development services line of business and investment management fees related to growth in AUM. Foreign currency translation had a 6.8% positive impact on total revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily driven by strength in the British pound sterling and euro.
Cost of revenue increased by $12.9 million, or 15.2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily driven by an increase in real estate development which is consistent with an increase in sales in our development service line of business. Foreign currency translation had a 9.6% negative impact on total cost of revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Operating, administrative and other expenses increased by $138.5 million, or 49.9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020, primarily due to an increase in compensation and bonuses in our development services and investment management line of business consistent with higher revenue growth. These increases are partially offset by decreases in certain operating expenses, such as travel and entertainment costs, as a result of Covid-19. Foreign currency translation had a 5.0% negative impact on total operating expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
A roll forward of our AUM by product type for the six months ended June 30, 2021 is as follows (dollars in billions):

| Funds |  | Separate Accounts |  | Securities |  | Total

We describe above how we calculate AUM. Also, as noted above, our calculation of AUM may differ from the calculations of other asset managers, and as a result, this measure may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other asset managers.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We believe that we can satisfy our working capital and funding requirements with internally generated cash flow and, as necessary, borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We expect our capital requirements for 2021 to be between $200 million and $240 million of anticipated capital expenditures, net of tenant concessions. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we incurred $63.1 million of capital expenditures, net of tenant concessions received, which includes approximately $15.8 million related to technology enablement. As of June 30, 2021, we had aggregate commitments of $118.7 million to fund future co-investments in our Real Estate Investments business, $25.4 million of which is expected to be funded in 2021. Additionally, as of June 30, 2021, we are committed to fund $55.5 million of additional capital to unconsolidated subsidiaries within our Real Estate Investments business, which we may be required to fund at any time. As of June 30, 2021, we had $2.8 billion of borrowings available under our revolving credit facility and $2.0 billion of cash and cash equivalents available for general corporate use. On July 9, 2021, the revolving credit facility was increased by $350.0 million.
We have historically relied on our internally generated cash flow and our revolving credit facility to fund our working capital, capital expenditure and general investment requirements (including strategic in-fill acquisitions) and have not sought other external sources of financing to help fund these requirements. In the absence of extraordinary events or a large strategic acquisition, we anticipate that our cash flow from operations and our revolving credit facility would be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for the foreseeable future, and at a minimum for the next 12 months. Given compensation is our largest expense and our sales and leasing professionals generally are paid on a commission and/or bonus basis that correlates with their revenue production, the negative effect of difficult market conditions is partially mitigated by the inherent variability of our compensation cost structure. In addition, when negative economic conditions have been particularly severe, we have moved decisively to lower operating expenses to improve financial performance, and then have restored certain expenses as economic conditions improved. We may seek to take advantage of market opportunities to refinance existing debt instruments, as we have done in the past, with new debt instruments at interest rates, maturities and terms we deem attractive. We may also, from time to time in our sole discretion, purchase, redeem, or retire our existing senior notes, through tender offers, in privately negotiated or open market transactions, or otherwise.
In December 2020, we redeemed the $425.0 million aggregate outstanding principal amount of our 5.25% senior notes due 2025 in full. We funded this redemption using cash on hand. In March 2021, we took advantage of favorable market conditions and low interest rates and conducted a new issuance for $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2.500% senior notes due 2031. We may again seek to take advantage of market opportunities to refinance existing debt instruments with new debt instruments at interest rates, maturities and terms we deem attractive.
As noted above, we believe that any future significant acquisitions that we may make could require us to obtain additional debt or equity financing. In the past, we have been able to obtain such financing for material transactions on terms that we believed to be reasonable. However, it is possible that we may not be able to obtain acquisition financing on favorable terms, or at all, in the future if we decide to make any further significant acquisitions.
Our long-term liquidity needs, other than those related to ordinary course obligations and commitments such as operating leases, are generally comprised of three elements. The first is the repayment of the outstanding and anticipated principal amounts of our long-term indebtedness. If our cash flow is insufficient to repay our long-term debt when it comes due, then we expect that we would need to refinance such indebtedness or otherwise amend its terms to extend the maturity dates. We cannot make any assurances that such refinancing or amendments would be available on attractive terms, if at all.
The second long-term liquidity need is the payment of obligations related to acquisitions. Our acquisition structures often include deferred and/or contingent purchase consideration in future periods that are subject to the passage of time or achievement of certain performance metrics and other conditions. As of June 30, 2021, we had accrued deferred purchase consideration totaling $125.6 million ($36.0 million of which was a current liability), which was included in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” and in “Other liabilities” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets set forth in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
Lastly, as described in our 2020 Annual Report, our board of directors authorized a program for the repurchase of up to $500.0 million of our Class A common stock over three years. As of December 31, 2020, $350.0 million was available for share repurchases under the authorized repurchase program. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we spent $64.1 million to repurchase, through a stock repurchase plan entered into pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act,

Table of contents
831,274 shares of our Class A common stock with an average price paid per share of $77.15. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we spent $24.1 million to repurchase an additional 300,454 shares of our Class A common stock with an average price paid per share of $80.31. As of June 30, 2021, we had $261.7 million of capacity remaining under our repurchase program. Our stock repurchases have been funded with cash on hand and we intend to continue funding future repurchases with existing cash. We may utilize our stock repurchase program to continue offsetting the impact of our stock-based compensation program and on a more opportunistic basis if we believe our stock presents a compelling investment compared to other discretionary uses. The timing of any future repurchases and the actual amounts repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including the market price of our common stock, general market and economic conditions and other factors.
Historical Cash Flows
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $227.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $203.0 million as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The primary drivers that contributed to the net increase were an overall improvement in the company's performance and elevated distributions of earnings from unconsolidated subsidiaries (mainly due to certain transactions that occurred in second quarter in the REI segment). These were partially offset by increased outflows related to changes in net working capital of approximately $124.6 million and an increase in real estate under development of approximately $28.6 million. The increased real estate development activities are due to better market opportunities as compared to a pandemic affected environment during the same period last year. The impact from net working capital was largely attributable to an increase in accounts receivable, supplemented by a lower incentive compensation payout, partially offset by a larger net decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses, and net income tax payment this period as compared to a net refund during the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $344.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $208.5 million as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. This increase was primarily driven by our investment in Industrious, uptick in mergers and acquisitions related activities, and approximately $27.8 million in lower distributions received from unconsolidated subsidiaries compared to 2020.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $379.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $20.2 million as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the net proceeds of $492.3 million from the issuance of our 2.500% senior notes during 2021 as compared to net proceeds from our revolving credit facility of $451.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. In addition, we received approximately $25.8 million from the issuance of note payables related to various real estate development activities during 2021, which was partially offset by additional funds that were used to repurchase shares during the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to same period in 2020.

Indebtedness
Our level of indebtedness increases the possibility that we may be unable to pay the principal amount of our indebtedness and other obligations when due. In addition, we may incur additional debt from time to time to finance strategic acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or for other purposes, subject to the restrictions contained in the documents governing our indebtedness. If we incur additional debt, the risks associated with our leverage, including our ability to service our debt, would increase.
Long-Term Debt
We maintain credit facilities with third-party lenders, which we use for a variety of purposes. On March 4, 2019, CBRE Services, Inc. (CBRE Services) entered into an incremental assumption agreement with respect to its credit agreement, dated October 31, 2017 (such agreement, as amended by a December 20, 2018 incremental loan assumption agreement and such March 4, 2019 incremental assumption agreement, is collectively referred to in this Quarterly Report as the 2019 Credit Agreement), which (i) extended the maturity of the U.S. dollar tranche A term loans under such credit agreement, (ii) extended the termination date of the revolving credit commitments available under such credit agreement and (iii) made certain changes to the interest rates and fees applicable to such tranche A term loans and revolving credit commitments under such credit agreement. The proceeds from the new tranche A term loan facility under the 2019 Credit Agreement were used to repay the $300.0 million of tranche A term loans outstanding under the credit agreement in effect prior to the entry into the 2019 incremental assumption agreement.
The 2019 Credit Agreement is a senior unsecured credit facility that is guaranteed by us. As of June 30, 2021, the 2019 Credit Agreement provided for the following: (1) a $2.8 billion revolving credit facility, which includes the capacity to obtain letters of credit and swingline loans and terminates on March 4, 2024; (2) a $300.0 million tranche A term loan facility maturing on March 4, 2024, requiring quarterly principal payments unless our leverage ratio (as defined in the 2019 Credit Agreement) is less than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00 on the last day of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding any such payment date and (3) a €400.0 million term loan facility due and payable in full at maturity on December 20, 2023.
On July 9, 2021, CBRE Services entered into an incremental assumption agreement with respect to the 2019 Credit Agreement for purposes of increasing the revolving credit commitments available under the 2019 Credit Agreement by an aggregate principal amount of $350.0 million.
On March 18, 2021, CBRE Services issued $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2.500% senior notes due April 1, 2031 at a price equal to 98.451% of their face value (the 2.500% senior notes). The 2.500% senior notes are unsecured obligations of CBRE Services, senior to all of its current and future subordinated indebtedness, but effectively subordinated to all of its current and future secured indebtedness. Interest accrues at a rate of 2.500% per year and is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on October 1, 2021. The 2.500% senior notes are redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, on or after January 1, 2031 at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount on that date, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding the date of redemption. At any time prior to January 1, 2031, we may redeem all or a portion of the notes at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed and (2) the sum of the present value at the date of redemption of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon to January 1, 2031, assuming the notes matured on January 1, 2031, discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis at an adjusted rate equal to the treasury rate plus 20 basis points, minus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. The amount of the 2.500% senior notes, net of unamortized discount and unamortized debt issuance costs, included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet was $487.6 million at June 30, 2021.
On August 13, 2015, CBRE Services issued $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.875% senior notes due March 1, 2026 (the 4.875% senior notes) at a price equal to 99.24% of their face value.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The information in this section should be read in connection with the information on market risk related to changes in interest rates and non-U.S. currency exchange rates in Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.
Our exposure to market risk primarily consists of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations related to our international operations and changes in interest rates on debt obligations. We manage such risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of our debt funding and by using derivative financial instruments. We apply Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” when accounting for derivative financial instruments. In all cases, we view derivative financial instruments as a risk management tool and, accordingly, do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
Exchange Rates
Our foreign operations expose us to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. These fluctuations may impact the value of our cash receipts and payments in terms of our functional (reporting) currency, which is the U.S. dollar. See the discussion of international operations, which is included in Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under the caption “Items Affecting Comparability—International Operations” and is incorporated by reference herein.
Interest Rates
We manage our interest expense by using a combination of fixed and variable rate debt. Historically, we have entered into interest rate swap agreements to attempt to hedge the variability of future interest payments due to changes in interest rates. As of June 30, 2021, we did not have any outstanding interest rate swap agreements.
The estimated fair value of our senior term loans was approximately $770.4 million at June 30, 2021. Based on dealers’ quotes, the estimated fair value of our 4.875% senior notes and 2.500% senior notes was $696.3 million and $507.2 million, respectively, at June 30, 2021.
We utilize sensitivity analyses to assess the potential effect on our variable rate debt. If interest rates were to increase 100 basis points on our outstanding variable rate debt at June 30, 2021, the net impact of the additional interest cost would be a decrease of $7.5 million on pre-tax income and a decrease of $7.5 million in cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Rule 13a-15 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires that we conduct an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, and we have a disclosure policy in furtherance of the same. This evaluation is designed to ensure that all corporate disclosure is complete and accurate in all material respects. The evaluation is further designed to ensure that all information required to be disclosed in our SEC reports is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures and recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods and in the manner specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer supervise and participate in this evaluation, and they are assisted by members of our Disclosure Committee. Our Disclosure Committee consists of our General Counsel, our Deputy CFO and Chief Accounting Officer, our Chief Transformation Officer, our Chief Communication Officer, our Senior Vice President, Risk and Assurance, our Senior Officers of significant business lines and other select employees.
We conducted the required evaluation, and our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined by Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) were not effective as of June 30, 2021 due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that were disclosed in our 2020 Annual Report.
Notwithstanding such material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, our management concluded that our consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, the company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates, and for the periods presented, in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
Remediation
As previously described in Part II, Item 9A of our 2020 Annual Report, we continue to implement our remediation plans that address the material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we pursued several activities to further our remediation efforts:
•Implemented mechanisms to provide close to real-time visibility into the results of the ongoing monitoring program to ensure immediate action on items requiring attention;
•Inventoried, baselined and rationalized key reports in the primary accounting system so as to have standard reports supporting the efficient execution of controls;
•Enhanced the framework around proper design and implementation of key balance sheet account reconciliations; and
•Continued to train employees responsible for control execution and oversight and established a control owner “certification” to promote awareness and underscore ownership and accountability.
Though further remediation efforts were made this quarter, the material weakness will not be considered fully remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through formal testing, that these controls are operating effectively.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Except for changes made in connection with our implementation of the remediation efforts mentioned above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

(1)During 2019, our board of directors authorized a program for the company to repurchase up to $500.0 million of our Class A common stock over three years, and during the second quarter of 2021, we repurchased $24.1 million of our common stock under this program. The remaining $261.7 million in the table represents the amount available to repurchase shares under the authorized repurchase program as of June 30, 2021.
Our repurchase programs do not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares. Under these programs, shares may be repurchased in privately negotiated and/or open market transactions, including under plans complying with Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act. The timing of any future repurchases and the actual amounts repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including the market price of our common stock, general market and economic conditions and other factors.
