NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
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, 2022, which are included in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K (2022 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 2022 Annual Report for further discussion of our significant accounting policies and estimates.
Considerations Related to Tightening Monetary Policy
The macroeconomic environment remains challenging as central banks continue to rapidly raise interest rates. The rising rate environment, coupled with certain bank failures in the first quarter of 2023, has limited credit availability to all asset classes, including commercial real estate. Less available and more expensive debt capital has had pronounced effects on our capital markets (mortgage origination and property sales) businesses, making property acquisitions and dispositions harder to finance. Similar factors also impact the timing of and proceeds generated from asset sales within our investment management and development businesses and our ability to obtain debt capital to begin new development projects.
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 General Accepted Accounting Principles (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, such as weakening global macroeconomic conditions and stress in the banking system, including less available and more expensive debt capital. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues 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.

In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2021-08, “Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers.” This ASU requires that an acquirer entity in a business combination recognize and measure contract assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination at the acquisition date in accordance with Topic 606 as if the acquirer entity had originated the contracts. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those years. Early application of the amendments is permitted but should be applied to all acquisitions occurring in the annual period of adoption. The amendment should be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. We adopted ASU 2021-08 in the first quarter of 2023 and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-01,“Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging - Portfolio Layer Method.” This ASU allows nonprepayable financial assets to be included in a closed portfolio hedged using the portfolio layer method. The expanded scope permits an entity to apply the same portfolio hedging method to both prepayable and nonprepayable financial assets, thereby allowing consistent accounting for similar hedges. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted ASU 2022-01 in the first quarter of 2023 and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructuring and Vintage Disclosures.” This ASU eliminates the accounting guidance for Troubled Debt Restructuring by creditors in 310-40 and enhances disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Additionally, this ASU requires entities to disclose current-period gross writeoffs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of ASC 326-20. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted ASU 2022-02 in the first quarter of 2023 and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, “Supplier Finance Programs (Sub Topic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations.” This ASU requires a buyer in a supplier finance program to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about its supplier finance programs in each annual reporting period including the key terms of the program and the following for obligations that the buyer has confirmed as valid to the provider: (1) the amount outstanding that remains unpaid by the buyer as of the end of the annual period, (2) a description of where those obligations are presented in the balance sheet, and (3) a rollforward of those obligations during the annual period, including the amount of obligations confirmed and the amount of obligations subsequently paid. Additionally, in each interim period, the buyer should disclose the amount of obligations outstanding that the buyer has confirmed as valid to the finance provider as of the end of the interim period. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the amendment on rollforward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. We adopted ASU 2022-04 in the first quarter of 2023. The obligation outstanding under the applicable program was not material as of March 31, 2023.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption
In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restriction s.” Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, states that a reporting entity should consider the characteristics of the asset or liability when measuring the fair value, including restrictions on the sale of the asset or liability, if a market participant would take those characteristics into account and the key to that determination is the unit of account for the asset or liability being measured at fair value. Topic 820 contains conflicting guidance on what the unit of account is when measuring the fair value of an equity security and this has resulted in diversity in practice on whether the effects of a contractual restriction that prohibits the sale of an equity security should be considered in measuring the equity security’s fair value. To address this, the amendments in the ASU clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The ASU introduces new disclosure requirements to provide investors with information about the restriction including

the nature and remaining duration of the restriction. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are evaluating the effect that this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, but do not expect it to have a material impact.
In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-01, “Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements.” This update requires that leasehold improvements associated with common control leases be amortized over the useful life of the leasehold improvements to the common control group (regardless of the lease term) and accounted for as a transfer between entities under common control through an adjustment to equity if, and when, the lessee no longer controls the use of the underlying asset. This update also provides a practical expedient for private companies and not-for-profit entities to use written terms and conditions of a common control arrangement to determine if a lease exists and the classification and accounting for that lease. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are evaluating the effect that this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, but do not expect it to have a material impact.
In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-02, “Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization method.” This update permits an accounting election to account for tax equity investments, regardless of the tax credit program from which the income tax credits are received, using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are evaluating the effect that this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, but do not expect it to have a material impact.
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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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, 2022 | $ | 455,354 |
Origination of mortgage loans | 2,494,589 |
Gains (premiums on loan sales) | 6,807 |
Proceeds from sale of mortgage loans: |
Sale of mortgage loans | (2,159,802) |
Cash collections of premiums on loan sales | (6,807) |
Proceeds from sale of mortgage loans | (2,166,609) |
Net increase in mortgage servicing rights included in warehouse receivables | 2,153 |
Ending balance at March 31, 2023 | $ | 792,294 |

4. Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)
We hold variable interests in certain VIEs primarily 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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our maximum exposure to loss related to VIEs which are not consolidated was as follows (dollars in thousands):

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 2022 Annual Report.
The following tables present the fair value of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (dollars in thousands):

There were no liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Fair value measurements for our available for sale debt securities are obtained from independent pricing services which utilize observable market data that may include quoted market prices, dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. treasury yield curve, trading levels, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the instrument’s terms and conditions.
The equity securities are generally valued at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation or, if no sales occurred on the valuation date, at the mean of the bid and ask prices on such date. The above tables do not include our $100.7 million capital investment in VTS, a leading proptech company, made during the third quarter of 2022 as it is a non-marketable equity investment accounted for under the measurement alternative, defined as cost minus impairment. No adjustments or impairments were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2023. It is included in “other assets, net” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
The fair values of the warehouse receivables are primarily calculated based on already locked in purchase prices. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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 (See Note 3). These assets are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as a substantial majority of inputs are readily observable.
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries at fair value using NAV were $359.9 million and $353.0 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 asset impairment charges recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded $10.4 million in non-cash asset impairment charges (primarily comprised of receivables), on a pretax basis, related to the exit of our Advisory Services business in Russia. There were no other significant non-recurring fair value measurements recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
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. It includes our equity investment and related interests in both public and non-public entities. Our ownership of common shares in Altus Power Inc. (Altus) is considered level 1 and is measured at fair value using a quoted price in an active market. Our ownership of alignment shares of Altus and our investment in Industrious and certain other non-controlling equity investments are considered level 3 which are measured at fair value using Monte Carlo and discounted cash flows. The valuation of Altus’ common shares and alignment shares are dependent on its stock price which could be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to various market

conditions. Transfer out activities from level 3, as shown in the table above, represent annual conversion of a portion of our alignment shares in Altus to its common shares.
•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.
•Other assets / liabilities – Represents the fair value of the unfunded commitment related to a revolving facility. Valuations are based on discounted cash flow techniques, for which the significant inputs are the amount and timing of expected future cash flows, market comparables and recovery assumptions. It also includes approximately $10 million of investment in a non-public entity designated as trading debt security that the company purchased in the fourth quarter of 2022 for which cost approximated fair value at March 31, 2023.
•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, and our revolving credit facility. Due to the short-term nature and variable interest rates of these instruments, fair value approximates carrying value (see Notes 3 and 7).
•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 $432.3 million and $424.6 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Their actual carrying value, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, totaled $433.4 million and $427.8 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively (see Note 7).
•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 $591.8 million and $595.2 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The actual carrying value of our 4.875% senior notes, net of unamortized debt issuance costs and discount, totaled $596.7 million and $596.4 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The estimated fair value of our 2.500% senior notes was $395.3 million and $396.8 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The actual carrying value of our 2.500% senior notes, net of unamortized debt issuance costs and discount, totaled $489.6 million and $489.3 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (See Note 7).
•Notes Payable on Real Estate - As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying value of our notes payable on real estate, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, was $55.9 million and $52.7 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.

We maintain credit facilities with third-party lenders, which we use for a variety of purposes. On July 9, 2021, 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 term loan assumption agreement, and such, a March 4, 2019 incremental assumption agreement and such, a July 9, 2021 incremental assumption agreement, collectively, the 2021 Credit Agreement) for purposes of increasing the revolving credit commitments previously available under the 2021 Credit Agreement by an aggregate principal amount of $350.0 million.
On May 21, 2021, we entered into a definitive agreement whereby our subsidiary guarantors were released as guarantors from the 2021 Credit Agreement.
On December 10, 2021, CBRE Services and certain of the other borrowers entered into a first amendment of the 2021 Credit Agreement which (i) changed the interest rate applicable to revolving borrowings denominated in Sterling from a LIBOR-based rate to a rate based on the Sterling Overnight Index Average (SONIA) and (ii) changed the interest rate applicable to revolving borrowings denominated in Euros from a LIBOR-based rate to a rate based on EURIBOR.

The 2022 Credit Agreement is a senior unsecured credit facility that is guaranteed by CBRE Group, Inc. As of March 31, 2023, the 2022 Credit Agreement provided for a €400.0 million term loan facility due and payable in full at maturity on December 20, 2023. A $3.15 billion revolving credit facility, which included the capacity to obtain letters of credit and swingline loans and would have terminated on March 4, 2024, was previously provided under this agreement and was replaced with a new $3.5 billion 5-year senior unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement entered into on August 5, 2022 (as described below).
Borrowings under the euro term loan facility under the 2022 Credit Agreement bear interest at a minimum rate of 0.75% plus EURIBOR and revolving borrowings bear interest, based at our option, on either (1) the applicable fixed rate plus 0.68% 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 2022 Credit Agreement). As of March 31, 2023, we had $433.4 million of euro term loan borrowings outstanding under the 2022 Credit Agreement (at an interest rate of 0.75% plus EURIBOR), net of unamortized debt issuance costs, included as current maturities of long-term debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Short-Term Borrowings
Revolving Credit Agreement
On August 5, 2022, we entered into a new 5-year senior unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”). The Revolving Credit Agreement provides for a senior unsecured revolving credit facility available to CBRE Services with a capacity of $3.5 billion and a maturity date of August 5, 2027. Borrowings bear interest at (i) CBRE Services’ option, either (a) a Term SOFR rate published by CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited for the applicable interest period or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the greatest of (1) the prime rate determined by Wells Fargo, (2) the federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1% and (3) the sum of (x) a Term SOFR rate published by CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited for an interest period of one month and (y) 1.00% plus (ii) 10 basis points, plus (iii) a rate equal to an applicable rate (in the case of borrowings based on the Term SOFR rate, 0.630% to 1.100% and in the case of borrowings based on the base rate, 0.0% to 0.100%, in each case, as determined by reference to our Debt Rating (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement). The applicable rate is also subject to certain increases and/or decreases specified in the Revolving Credit Agreement linked to achieving certain sustainability goals.
The Revolving Credit Agreement requires us to pay a fee based on the total amount of the revolving credit facility commitment (whether used or unused). In addition, the Revolving Credit Agreement also includes capacity for letters of credit not to exceed $300.0 million in the aggregate.
The Revolving Credit Agreement also requires us to maintain a minimum coverage ratio of consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Revolving 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 Revolving 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 Revolving Credit Agreement), 4.75x) as of the end of each fiscal quarter. In addition, the Revolving Credit Agreement also contains other customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. We were in compliance with the covenants under this agreement as of March 31, 2023.
On August 5, 2022, CBRE Services made an initial borrowing of $220.0 million under the Revolving Credit Agreement. These proceeds, in addition to cash on hand, were used to repay in full all revolving credit borrowings outstanding under the 2021 Credit Agreement and terminate the revolving commitments thereunder. As of March 31, 2023, $1.2 billion was outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement. No letters of credit were outstanding as of March 31, 2023. Letters of credit are issued in the ordinary course of business and would reduce the amount we may borrow under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

Revolving Credit Facilities under the 2021 Credit Agreement
The revolving credit facility under the 2021 Credit Agreement allowed 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 $320.0 million sub-facility available to CBRE Services and one of our U.K. subsidiaries. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bore interest at varying rates, based at our option, on either (1) the applicable fixed rate plus 0.68% 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 2021 Credit Agreement). The 2021 Credit Agreement required us to pay a fee based on the total amount of the revolving credit facility commitment (whether used or unused).

9. 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 consolidated financial statements are unlikely to be significant, but litigation is inherently uncertain and there is the potential for a material adverse effect on our consolidated 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 $39.5 billion at March 31, 2023, of which $35.8 billion is 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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, CBRE MCI had $125.0 million and $113.0 million, respectively, of letters of credit under this reserve arrangement and had recorded a liability of approximately $66.2 million and $65.1 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 $894.6 million (including $452.5 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 March 31, 2023.
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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, CBRE Capital Markets had posted a $5.0 million letter of credit under this reserve arrangement.
We had outstanding letters of credit totaling $215.2 million as of March 31, 2023, 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 $130.0 million as of March 31, 2023 referred to in the preceding paragraphs represented the majority of the $215.2 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 $388.9 million as of March 31, 2023, 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 $388.9 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 March 31, 2023, 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 segment involves investing our capital in certain real estate investments with our clients. For our investment funds, we generally co-invest up to 2.0% of the equity in a particular fund. As of March 31, 2023, we had aggregate future commitments of $93.1 million related to co-investment funds. Additionally, we make selective investments in real estate development projects on our own account or co-invest with our clients with up to 50% of the project's equity as a principal in unconsolidated real estate projects. We had committed capital of $135.3 million and $96.7 million to consolidated and unconsolidated projects, respectively, as of March 31, 2023.
Also refer to Note 15 for the Telford Fire Safety Remediation provision.
10. Income Taxes
Our provision for income taxes on a consolidated basis was $28.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to a benefit from income taxes of $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase of $31.8 million is primarily related to a one-time tax benefit in 2022 as a result of legal entity restructuring, offset by a decrease from corresponding change in earnings.
Our effective tax rate increased to 18.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from (1.0)% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the company had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $399.7 million and $391.4 million, respectively. The increase of $8.3 million resulted from the accrual of gross unrecognized tax benefits.
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), a budget reconciliation package that contained legislation targeting energy security and climate change, healthcare and taxes, was signed into law. With respect to corporate-level taxes, the IRA included a 1% excise tax on stock buybacks and a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax (CAMT) based on financial statement income of certain U.S. companies that meet the $1 billion profitability threshold criteria, effective after December 31, 2022. The legislation did not have a material impact to our financial results.
11. Income Per Share and Stockholders’ Equity
The calculations of basic and diluted income per share attributable to CBRE Group, Inc. stockholders are as follows (dollars in thousands, except share and per share data):

| Three Months Ended March 31, |  |
| 2023 |  | 2022 |  |  |  |
Basic Income Per Share |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Net income attributable to CBRE Group, Inc. stockholders | $ | 116,892 |  |  | $ | 392,297 |  |  |  |  |
Weighted average shares outstanding for basic income per share | 310,464,609 |  |  | 331,925,104 |  |  |  |  |
Basic income per share attributable to CBRE Group, Inc. stockholders | $ | 0.38 |  |  | $ | 1.18 |  |  |  |  |
Diluted Income Per Share |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Net income attributable to CBRE Group, Inc. stockholders | $ | 116,892 |  |  | $ | 392,297 |  |  |  |  |
Weighted average shares outstanding for basic income per share | 310,464,609 |  |  | 331,925,104 |  |  |  |  |
Dilutive effect of contingently issuable shares | 4,893,538 |  |  | 5,215,221 |  |  |  |  |
Weighted average shares outstanding for diluted income per share | 315,358,147 |  |  | 337,140,325 |  |  |  |  |
Diluted income per share attributable to CBRE Group, Inc. stockholders | $ | 0.37 |  |  | $ | 1.16 |  |  |  |  |

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, 511,419 and 1,349,842, 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.

(1)We earn fees for arranging financing for borrowers with third-party lender contacts. Such fees are in scope of Topic 606.
(2)Loan servicing fees earned from servicing contracts for which we do not hold mortgage servicing rights are in scope of Topic 606.

Contract Assets and Liabilities
We had contract assets totaling $522.7 million ($384.0 million of which was current) and $529.1 million ($391.6 million of which was current) as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
We had contract liabilities totaling $268.8 million ($262.2 million of which was current) and $284.3 million ($276.3 million of which was current) as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recognized revenue of $183.2 million that was included in the contract liability balance at December 31, 2022.
13. 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. In addition, we also have a “Corporate, other and elimination” segment. Our Corporate segment primarily consists of corporate headquarters costs for executive officers and certain other central functions. We track our strategic non-core non-controlling equity investments in “other” which is considered an operating segment and reported together with Corporate but does not meet the aggregation criteria for presentation as a separate reportable segment. These activities are not allocated to the other business segments. Corporate and other also includes eliminations related to inter-segment revenue.
Segment operating profit (SOP) is the measure reported to the chief operating decision marker (CODM) for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to each segment and assessing performance of each segment. Segment operating profit represents earnings, inclusive of amounts attributable to non-controlling interest, 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 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, efficiency and cost-reduction initiatives, integration and other costs related to acquisitions. This metric excludes the impact of corporate overhead as these costs are reported under Corporate and other.

14. Efficiency and Cost-Reduction Initiatives
During the third quarter of 2022, we launched certain cost and operational efficiency initiatives that will further improve the company’s resiliency in an economic downturn while enabling continued operating platform investments that support future growth. The efficiency initiatives include management and workforce structure simplification, occupancy footprint rationalization and certain third-party spending reductions. As part of this, we incurred certain cash and non-cash charges. Non-cash charges are primarily associated with acceleration of depreciation and write-down of lease and related assets, partially offset by release of lease liability, as part of our lease termination activities. Cash-based charges are primarily related to employee separation, lease and certain contract exit costs, and professional fees. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, total charges (excluding depreciation) incurred were $138.2 million, related to employee separation, lease termination, and professional fees and other contract exit costs. Management continues to evaluate and modify these initiatives, which are likely to continue over the next few months.
The following table presents the detail of expense incurred by segment (dollars in thousands):

| Three Months Ended March 31, 2023
| Advisory Services |  | Global Workplace Solutions |  | Real Estate Investments |  | Corporate |  | Consolidated
Employee separation benefits | $ | 17,175 |  |  | $ | 28,894 |  |  | $ | 13,158 |  |  | $ | 2,538 |  |  | $ | 61,765 |

15. Telford Fire Safety Remediation
On March 16, 2023, Telford Homes entered into a legally binding agreement with the U.K. government, under which Telford Homes will (1) take responsibility for performing or funding self-remediation works relating to certain life-critical fire-safety issues on all Telford Homes-constructed buildings of 11 meters in height or greater in England constructed in the last 30 years (in-scope buildings) and (2) withdraw Telford Homes-developed buildings from the government-sponsored Building Safety Fund (BSF) and Aluminum Composite Material (ACM) Funds or reimburse the government funds for the cost of remediation of in-scope buildings.
The accompanying consolidated balance sheets include an estimated liability of approximately $188.1 million and $185.9 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, related to remediation efforts. The balance increased as of March 31, 2023 primarily due to the movement of foreign exchange rates, partially offset by $0.5 million of costs incurred for work performed during the quarter. We did not record any additional provision this quarter as the March 31, 2023 balance remains our best estimate of potential losses associated with overall remediation efforts. The potential liability and number of buildings affected may change as in-scope buildings are assessed, scopes of remediation are agreed with interested parties (freeholders and leaseholders) and the required remediation work is tendered for each building, all of which is anticipated to result in a lengthy process. We will continue to assess new information as it becomes available and adjust our estimated liability accordingly.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is designed to provide the reader of our financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of management on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and certain other factors that may affect future results. The MD&A in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (Quarterly Report) for CBRE Group, Inc. for the three months ended March 31, 2023 should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K (2022 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 2022 revenue, with leading global market positions in our leasing, property sales, occupier outsourcing and valuation businesses. As of December 31, 2022, the company had approximately 115,000 employees (excluding Turner & Townsend Holdings Limited employees) serving clients in more than 100 countries.
We provide services to real estate investors and occupiers. For investors, our services include capital markets (property sales and mortgage origination), mortgage sales and servicing, property leasing, investment management, property management, valuation and development services, among others. For occupiers, our services include facilities management, project management, transaction (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 Investment Management” (investment management); “Trammell Crow Company” (primarily U.S. development); “Telford Homes” (U.K. development); and “Turner & Townsend Holdings Limited” (Turner & Townsend).
We generate revenue from stable, recurring sources (large multi-year portfolio and per project contracts) and from cyclical, non-recurring sources, including commissions on transactions. Our revenue mix has become more weighted towards stable revenue sources, particularly occupier outsourcing, and our dependence on cyclical property sales and lease transaction revenue has declined. 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.
In 2022, we generated revenue from a highly diversified base of clients, including more than 95 of the Fortune 100 companies. We have been an S&P 500 company since 2006 and in 2022 we were ranked #126 on the Fortune 500. We have been voted the most recognized commercial real estate brand in the Lipsey Company survey for 22 years in a row (including 2023). We have also been rated a World’s Most Ethical Company by the Ethisphere Institute for ten consecutive years (including 2023), and included in the Dow Jones World Sustainability Index for four years in a row and the Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index for four years in a row (including 2023).
The macroeconomic environment remains challenging as central banks continue to rapidly raise interest rates. The rising rate environment, coupled with certain bank failures in the first quarter of 2023, has limited credit availability to all asset classes, including commercial real estate. Less available and more expensive debt capital has had pronounced effects on our capital markets (mortgage origination and property sales) businesses, making property acquisitions and dispositions harder to finance. Similar factors also impact the timing of and proceeds generated from asset sales within our investment management and development businesses and our ability to obtain debt capital to begin new development projects.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
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, business combinations, goodwill and other intangible assets, income

taxes, contingencies, and investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries – fair value option can be found in our 2022 Annual Report. There have been no material changes to these policies and estimates as of March 31, 2023.
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 sharp rise in interest rates to combat inflation and resultant banking sector stress and economic uncertainty may cause seasonality to deviate from historical patterns.
Inflation
Our business continues to be affected by high inflation in 2023. Most notably, moves by a number of countries’ central banks to tame high inflation by rapidly raising interest rates sharply increased the cost of debt and dramatically constrained its availability, resulting in a significant decline in sales and financing transaction activity. In addition, rising price levels across the economy have required us to increase compensation expense to retain top talent and our development businesses has incurred higher input costs for construction materials. On the other hand, we believe that parts of our business have protections against inflation. The company continues to monitor inflation, monetary policy changes in response to inflation and potentially adverse effects on our business.
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 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, with specific sensitivity to growth in office-based employment; interest rate levels and changes in interest rates; 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 the global capital or credit markets, or the public perception that any of these events may occur, will negatively affect the performance of our business.
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 operating margins during difficult market conditions, such as the environment that prevailed in the early months of the Covid-19 pandemic or the current stressed capital markets environment, are 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. We began efforts in 2022 and have continued in 2023 to reduce expenses in light of macroeconomic challenges stemming from rapidly rising interest rates and the stressed banking sector. Additionally, our contractual revenue has increased primarily as a result of growth in our outsourcing business, and we believe this contractual revenue should partially offset the negative impacts that macroeconomic deterioration could have on other parts of our business. We also believe that we have significantly improved the resiliency of our business by expanding the business strategically across asset types, clients, geographies and lines of business. Nevertheless, adverse global and regional economic trends will pose significant risks to the performance of our consolidated operations and financial condition.

Effects of Acquisitions and Investments
We have historically made significant use of strategic acquisitions to add and enhance service capabilities around the world. 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 2022, we completed seven in-fill acquisitions in the Advisory Services segment and four in the Global Workplace Solutions segment totaling $205.8 million in cash and deferred consideration. During the first quarter of 2023, we completed one in-fill acquisition in the Advisory Services segment and four in the Global Workplace Solutions segment totaling $65.1 million in cash and deferred consideration.
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 March 31, 2023, we have accrued deferred purchase and contingent considerations totaling $542.4 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 the U.S. As a result, we are subject to risks associated with doing business globally. Our Real Estate Investments business has significant euro and British pound denominated assets under management, as well as associated revenue and earnings in Europe. In addition, our Global Workplace Solutions business also derives significant revenue and earnings in foreign currencies, such as the euro and British pound sterling. Our business has been significantly impacted this year by the sharp appreciation of the U.S. dollar against these and other foreign currencies. Further fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may continue to produce corresponding changes in our AUM, revenue and earnings.
Our businesses could suffer from the effects of public health crises, geopolitical events (such as the war in Ukraine), economic disruptions (or the perception that such disruptions may occur), high interest rate levels, rapid changes in interest rates, decreased access to debt capital or liquidity constraints, downturns in the general macroeconomic backdrop, or regulatory or financial market uncertainty.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, approximately 44.1% of our revenue was transacted in foreign currencies. The following table sets forth our revenue derived from our most significant currencies (dollars in thousands):

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 three months ended March 31, 2023, the net impact would have been a decrease in pre-tax income of $3.7 million. Had the euro-to-U.S. dollar exchange rates been 10% higher during the three months ended March 31, 2023, the net impact would have been an increase in pre-tax income of $1.5 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.
Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may result in corresponding fluctuations in revenue and earnings as well as the AUM for our investment management business, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. 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, segment operating profit on revenue margin, segment operating profit on net revenue margin, and core EBITDA are not recognized measurements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or 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 costs and charges that may obscure the underlying performance of our business and related trends. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of net revenue and core 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. Segment operating profit on revenue margin is computed by dividing segment operating profit by revenue and provides a comparable profitability measure against our peers. Segment operating profit on net revenue margin is computed by dividing segment operating profit by net revenue and is a better indicator of the segment’s margin since it does not include the diluting effect of pass through revenue which generally has no margin.

We use core EBITDA as an indicator of the company’s operating financial performance. Core EBITDA represents earnings before the portion attributable to non-controlling interests, 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 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, integration and other costs related to acquisitions, and costs associated with efficiency and cost-reduction initiatives. Core EBITDA excludes the impact of fair value changes on certain non-core non-controlling equity investments that are not directly related to our business segments as these could fluctuate significantly period over period. 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.
Core 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 core EBITDA as a significant component when measuring our operating performance under our employee incentive compensation programs.
Core EBITDA is calculated as follows (dollars in thousands):

Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022
We reported consolidated net income of $116.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 on revenue of $7.4 billion as compared to consolidated net income of $392.3 million on revenue of $7.3 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Our revenue on a consolidated basis for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased by $78.2 million, or 1.1%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The revenue increase reflects growth in the Global Workplace Solutions (GWS) segment partially offset by a decline in revenue in the Advisory Services and in the Real Estate Investments (REI) segments. Revenue in our Global Workplace Solutions segment increased by $532.1 million or 11.1% due to new client wins, expansion of services to existing clients, and contributions from strategic in-fill acquisitions. Revenue in our Advisory Services segment decreased 17.5% and was significantly impacted by the current macroeconomic and fiscal environment driving down sale and lease revenue during the quarter. Revenue in the Real Estate Investments segment decreased 21.1% primarily due to decreased development and construction revenue and lower real estate sales activities in the international development markets. Foreign currency translation had a 3.3% negative impact on total revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily driven by weakness in the British pound sterling, euro and Canadian dollar.

Table of contents
Our cost of revenue on a consolidated basis increased by $254.2 million, or 4.4%, during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022. This increase was primarily due to higher costs associated with our Global Workplace Solutions segment due to growth in our facilities and project management businesses, and approximately $18 million in charges associated with cost savings initiatives. This was partially offset by a decline in cost of revenue in our Advisory Services segment due to lower commission expense and by a decline in cost of revenue in our global development business in our Real Estate Investments segment. Foreign currency translation had a 3.4% positive impact on total cost of revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue increased to 81.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to 78.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This was mainly due to growth in facilities management and project management services in our Global Workplace Solutions segment, in addition, to certain fixed cost of revenue in our Advisory Services segment.
Our operating, administrative and other expenses on a consolidated basis increased by $142.9 million, or 13.4%, during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022. The increase was primarily due to our efficiency and cost-reduction initiatives that started during the third quarter of 2022. As part of these initiatives, we incurred approximately $120.3 million in additional operating expenses, primarily in the form of employee separation benefits, contract termination fees and consulting costs, that did not occur during three months ended March 31, 2022. In addition, we also incurred higher professional fees to support us as we continue to explore various capital allocation opportunities. This increase was partially offset by lower overall stock compensation expense in the current period as compared to the same period in the prior year. Foreign currency translation had a 3.6% positive impact on total operating, administrative and other expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 16.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from 14.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to significant costs incurred under our efficiency initiatives against a modest revenue increase.
Our depreciation and amortization expense on a consolidated basis increased by $12.5 million, or 8.4%, during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022. This increase was primarily attributable to accelerated depreciation expense recognition due to downward revision to the remaining useful lives of certain property, plant and equipment.
We recorded $10.4 million in asset impairments on a consolidated basis for the three months ended March 31, 2022 related to our exit of the Advisory Services business in Russia. We did not record any asset impairments for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Our gain on disposition of real estate on a consolidated basis was $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, which was a decrease of $18.5 million over the prior year period, due to fewer property sales of certain consolidated projects within our Real Estate Investments segment.
Our equity income from unconsolidated subsidiaries more than tripled this quarter as compared to the same period in 2022, an increase of $98.8 million. This was primarily driven by higher equity earnings associated with property sales reported in our Real Estate Investments segment and lower negative fair value adjustment of our non-core strategic equity investment in Altus Power, Inc. (Altus) as compared to first quarter 2022.
Our other income on a consolidated basis was $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 versus a loss of $14.5 million for the same period in the prior year. Losses incurred last year were primarily due to sales of certain marketable equity securities.
Our consolidated interest expense, net of interest income, increased by $15.6 million, or 121.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022. This increase was primarily due to the impact of higher interest rates and increased borrowings on the revolving credit facilities.
Our provision for income taxes on a consolidated basis was $28.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to a benefit from income taxes of $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase of $31.8 million is primarily related to a one-time tax benefit in 2022 as a result of legal entity restructuring, offset by a decrease from corresponding change in earnings. Our effective tax rate increased to 18.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from (1.0)% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 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.

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.
Advisory Services provides a comprehensive range of services globally, including property leasing, capital markets (property sales and mortgage origination), mortgage sales and servicing, 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. Real Estate Investments includes investment management services provided globally and development services in the U.S., U.K. and Continental Europe.
We also have a Corporate and Other segment. Corporate primarily consists of corporate overhead costs. Other consists of activities from strategic non-core, non-controlling equity investments and is considered an operating segment but does not meet the aggregation criteria for presentation as a separate reportable segment and is, therefore, combined with Corporate and reported as Corporate and other. It also includes eliminations related to inter-segment revenue. For additional information on our segments, see Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) set forth in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022
Revenue decreased by $394.6 million, or 17.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The current macroeconomic and fiscal environment has put significant stress on the lending environment making it difficult to access capital at a reasonable cost. Leasing revenue declined 8.3%, sales revenue was down 40.7% and mortgage origination revenue was down 51.0%. The slowdown in the lending environment also affected appraisal revenue which was down 8.6%. This was partially offset by a modest growth in the property management line of business, mainly in the U.S. Foreign currency translation had a 2.4% negative impact on total revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily driven by weakness in the British pound sterling, Japanese yen and euro.
Cost of revenue decreased by $185.5 million, or 14.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to lower commission expense related to a decline in our leasing and capital markets business. Foreign currency translation had a 2.5% positive impact on total cost of revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue increased to 60.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 versus 58.4% for the same period in 2022. This was mainly due to a shift in the composition of total revenue as higher margin capital markets revenue decreased as a percentage of total revenue this quarter versus the same period last year and growth in property management.
Operating, administrative and other expenses increased by $42.6 million, or 8.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. This increase was primarily due to elevated employee separation benefit and lease exit related charges incurred under our efficiency and cost-reduction initiatives, partially offset by lower incentive compensation expense to align with expected segment and company performance as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. Foreign currency translation had a 3.2% positive impact on total operating expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
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 March 31, 2023, MSRs contributed to operating income $16.7 million of gains recognized in conjunction with the origination and sale of mortgage loans, offset by $36.5 million of amortization of related intangible assets. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, MSRs contributed to operating income $35.2 million of gains recognized in conjunction with the origination and sale of mortgage loans, offset by $41.0 million of amortization of related intangible assets. The decline in MSRs was associated with lower origination activity given the higher cost of debt.
Equity income from unconsolidated subsidiaries decreased by $8.8 million, or 89.7%, during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022, due to lower net fair value adjustments on our strategic non-controlling equity investment portfolio.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022
Revenue increased by $532.1 million, or 11.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to growth in the facilities management and project management line of businesses as both experienced growth from new and existing clients and contributions from certain strategic and in-fill acquisitions. Foreign currency translation had a 3.7% negative impact on total revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily driven by weakness in the British pound sterling and euro.
Cost of revenue increased by $468.7 million, or 10.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022, driven by the higher revenue leading to higher pass through costs and higher professional compensation to support growth. Foreign currency translation had a 3.6% positive impact on total cost of revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue remained relatively flat at 90.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to 91.0% for the same period in 2022.
Operating, administrative and other expenses increased by $83.7 million, or 35.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. This increase was attributable to higher support staff compensation and related benefits from in-fill acquisitions, expenses related to efficiency and cost-reduction initiatives, contract termination fees, and diligence and integration costs associated with recent acquisitions. Foreign currency translation had a 5.6% positive impact on total operating expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022
Revenue decreased by $59.9 million, or 21.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily driven by a decrease in real estate sales in the United Kingdom, and decreased development and construction fees. Investment management revenue remained relatively flat. Foreign currency translation had a 4.1% negative impact on total revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily driven by weakness in the British pound sterling and euro.

Table of contents
Cost of revenue decreased by $31.5 million, or 45.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue was 17.2% as compared to 24.7% during the same period in 2022. This was primarily due to a shift in the composition of overall revenue with higher revenue coming from the investment management line of business which has no associated cost of revenue. Foreign currency translation had a 6.1% positive impact on total cost of revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Operating, administrative and other expenses increased by $5.3 million, or 2.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to increase in employee separation benefits and consulting charges incurred as part of the company's efficiency and cost-reduction initiatives, partially offset by lower incentive compensation expense to align with business performance. Foreign currency translation had a 3.4% positive impact on total operating expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Equity income from unconsolidated subsidiaries increased by $9.2 million, or 5.9%, during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022. Gain on disposition of real estate decreased by $18.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022. This was primarily due to fewer development sales of consolidated projects.
A roll forward of our AUM by product type for the three months ended March 31, 2023 is as follows (dollars in billions):

| Funds |  | Separate Accounts |  | Securities |  | Total
Balance at December 31, 2022 | $ | 66.2 |  |  | $ | 73.2 |  |  | $ | 9.9 |  |  | $ | 149.3 |
Inflows | 1.4 |  |  | 2.4 |  |  | 0.3 |  |  | 4.1 |

Balance at March 31, 2023 | $ | 66.0 |  |  | $ | 72.8 |  |  | $ | 10.1 |  |  | $ | 148.9 |

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.

Corporate and Other
Our Corporate segment primarily consists of corporate overhead costs.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022
Core corporate
Operating, administrative and other expenses for our core corporate function were approximately $111.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to $97 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of $13.7 million or 14.0%. This was primarily due to professional fees incurred to support us as we explore various capital allocation opportunities, employee separation benefits and consulting charges under our efficiency and cost-reduction initiatives, partially offset by a decrease in incentive compensation to align with expected company performance.
Other loss was approximately $0.1 million for three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $6.9 million in the same period last year. This is primarily comprised of net activity related to unrealized and realized gain/loss on equity and available for sale debt securities owned by our wholly-owned captive insurance company. These mark to market adjustments were in a net unfavorable position in the first quarter of last year as compared to same period this year.
Other (non-core)
We recorded equity loss from unconsolidated subsidiaries of approximately $26.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from unfavorable fair value adjustments related to certain non-core investments as compared to a $125.2 million net unfavorable adjustment recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
We recorded losses of approximately $8.9 million during three months ended March 31, 2022 due to the sale of certain marketable equity securities with no similar activity in first quarter of 2023.

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. Our expected capital requirements for 2023 include up to approximately $334.5 million of anticipated capital expenditures, net of tenant concessions. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we incurred $59.8 million of capital expenditures, net of tenant concessions received. As of March 31, 2023, we had aggregate future commitments of $93.1 million related to co-investments funds in our Real Estate Investments segment, $30.4 million of which is expected to be funded in 2023. Additionally, as of March 31, 2023, we are committed to fund additional capital of $135.3 million and $96.7 million to consolidated and unconsolidated projects, respectively, within our Real Estate Investments segment. As of March 31, 2023, we had $2.5 billion of borrowings available under our revolving credit facilities (under both the Revolving Credit Agreement, as described below, and the Turner & Townsend revolving credit facility) and $1.2 billion of cash and cash equivalents.
We have historically relied on our internally generated cash flow and our revolving credit facilities 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 are generally 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.
As noted above, we believe that any future significant acquisitions 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.
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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had accrued deferred purchase consideration totaling $542.4 million ($62.7 million of which was a current liability), and $574.3 million ($117.3 million of which was a current liability), respectively, 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.
In November 2021, our board of directors authorized a program for the company to repurchase up to $2.0 billion of our Class A common stock over five years, effective November 19, 2021 (the 2021 program). In August 2022, our board of directors authorized an additional $2.0 billion, bringing the total authorized repurchase amount under the 2021 program to a total of $4.0 billion. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we repurchased 1,368,173 shares of our Class A common stock with an average price of $83.48 per share using cash on hand for $114.2 million. As of both March 31, 2023 and April 24, 2023, we had $2.0 billion of capacity remaining under the 2021 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 programs 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 used in operating activities totaled $744.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $351.3 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The primary driver was lower earnings this quarter as compared to a strong first quarter in 2022. The other key drivers that contributed to the higher usage were as follows: (1) lower net equity distribution from unconsolidated subsidiaries this quarter as compared to first quarter 2022, and (2) lower net proceeds from sale of equity securities this quarter as compared to first quarter 2022. These were partially offset by a positive net cash inflow associated with net working capital and real estate under development activities. This was mainly due to timing of certain cash tax payments and refunds that led to higher outflow last year, lower outflow related to accounts payable and accrued this year, partially offset by higher outflow related to net bonus payments, compensation and other employee benefits, increase in accounts receivable and changes in net income taxes receivable accounts.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $115.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $19.4 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. This increase was primarily driven by higher capital expenditures compared to 2022 to support various growth initiatives, and higher spend on strategic in-fill acquisitions during this period as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. This was partially offset by lower net contributions to unconsolidated subsidiaries as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $761.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to net cash used in financing activities of $209.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increased inflow was primarily due to (1) $1.0 billion in net proceeds from our revolving credit facility received this period as compared to net proceeds of $210.0 million last year, and (2) lower share repurchase activity this quarter as compared to first quarter last year. This was partially offset by $46.5 million in increased outflow related to acquisitions where cash was paid after 90 days of the acquisition date.

Indebtedness
We use a variety of financing arrangements, both long-term and short-term, to fund our operations in addition to cash generated from operating activities. We also use several funding sources to avoid becoming overly dependent on one financing source, and to lower funding costs.
Long-Term Debt
On July 9, 2021, CBRE Services, Inc. (CBRE Services) entered into an additional incremental assumption agreement with respect to its credit agreement, dated October 31, 2017 (such agreement, as amended by a December 20, 2018 incremental term loan assumption agreement, a March 4, 2019 incremental assumption agreement and such July 9, 2021 incremental assumption agreement, collectively, the 2021 Credit Agreement) for purposes of increasing the revolving credit commitments previously available under the 2021 Credit Agreement by an aggregate principal amount of $350.0 million.
On May 21, 2021, we entered into a definitive agreement whereby our subsidiary guarantors were released as guarantors from the 2021 Credit Agreement.
On December 10, 2021, CBRE Services and certain of the other borrowers entered into a first amendment to the 2021 Credit Agreement which (i) changed the interest rate applicable to revolving borrowings denominated in Sterling from a LIBOR-based rate to a rate based on the Sterling Overnight Index Average (SONIA) and (ii) changed the interest rate applicable to revolving borrowings denominated in Euros from a LIBOR-based rate to a rate based on EURIBOR. The revised interest rates described above went into effect on January 1, 2022.
On August 5, 2022, CBRE Group, Inc., as Holdings, and CBRE Global Acquisition Company, as the Luxembourg Borrower, entered into a second amendment to the 2021 Credit Agreement which, among other things (i) amended certain of the representations and warranties, affirmative covenants, negative covenants and events of default in the 2021 Credit Agreement in a manner consistent with the new 5-year senior unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement (as described below), (ii) terminated all revolving commitments previously available to the subsidiaries of the company thereunder and (iii) reflected the resignation of the previous administrative agent and the appointment of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as the new administrative agent (the 2021 Credit Agreement, as amended by the first amendment and second amendment is referred to in this Quarterly Report as the 2022 Credit Agreement).
The 2022 Credit Agreement is a senior unsecured credit facility that is guaranteed by CBRE Group, Inc.

In addition, a $3.15 billion revolving credit facility, which included the capacity to obtain letters of credit and swingline loans and would have terminated on March 4, 2024, was previously provided under this agreement and was replaced with a new $3.5 billion 5-year senior unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement entered into on August 5, 2022 (as described below).
On March 18, 2021, CBRE Services issued $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2.500% senior notes due April 1, 2031 (the 2.500% senior notes) at a price equal to 98.451% of their face value.

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.
On May 21, 2021, all existing subsidiary guarantors were released from their guarantees of our 2022 Credit Agreement, 4.875% senior notes and 2.500% senior notes. Our 2022 Credit Agreement, Revolving Credit Agreement, 4.875% senior notes and 2.500% senior notes remain fully and unconditionally guaranteed by CBRE Group, Inc.

Short-Term Borrowings
On August 5, 2022, we entered into a new 5-year senior unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”). The Revolving Credit Agreement provides for a senior unsecured revolving credit facility available to CBRE Services with a capacity of $3.5 billion and a maturity date of August 5, 2027.
The Revolving Credit Agreement requires us to pay a fee based on the total amount of the revolving credit facility commitment (whether used or unused). In addition, the Revolving Credit Agreement also includes capacity for letters of credit not to exceed $300.0 million in the aggregate.
As of March 31, 2023, $1.2 billion was outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement. No letters of credit were outstanding as of March 31, 2023. As of April 24, 2023, $1.4 billion was outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement. Letters of credit are issued in the ordinary course of business and would reduce the amount we may borrow under the Revolving Credit Agreement.
In addition, Turner & Townsend maintains a £120.0 million revolving credit facility pursuant to a credit agreement dated March 31, 2022, with an additional accordion option of £20.0 million. As of March 31, 2023, $8.6 million (£7.0 million) was outstanding under this revolving credit facility and bears interest at SONIA plus 0.75%. No balance was outstanding as of April 24, 2023.
For additional information on all of our short-term borrowings, see Notes 5 and 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements set forth in Item 8 included in our 2022 Annual Report and Notes 3 and 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) set forth in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
We also maintain warehouse lines of credit with certain third-party lenders. See Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) set forth in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
Off –Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have off-balance sheet arrangements that we believe could have a material current or future impact on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations. Our off-balance sheet arrangements are described in Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) set forth in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report and are incorporated by reference herein.

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 2022 Annual Report.
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 March 31, 2023, we did not have any outstanding interest rate swap agreements.
The estimated fair value of our senior term loans was approximately $432.3 million at March 31, 2023. Based on dealers’ quotes, the estimated fair value of our 4.875% and 2.500% senior notes was $591.8 million and $395.3 million, respectively, at March 31, 2023.
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 March 31, 2023, the net impact of the additional interest cost would be a decrease of $4.1 million on pre-tax income and a decrease of $4.1 million in cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) 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 Chief Accounting Officer, 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 effective as of March 31, 2023 to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

| 1,368,173 |  | $ | 83.48 |  | 1,368,173 |  |  | $ | 2,001,574 |

_______________________________
(1)In November 2021, our board of directors authorized a program for the company to repurchase up to $2.0 billion of our Class A common stock over five years, effective November 19, 2021 (the “2021 program”). In August 2022, our board of directors authorized an additional $2.0 billion under this program, bringing the total authorized amount under the 2021 program to a total of $4.0 billion. During the first quarter of 2023, we repurchased $114.2 million of our common stock under the 2021 program. The remaining $2.0 billion in the table represents the amount available to repurchase shares under the 2021 program as of March 31, 2023.
Our stock repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares. Under this program, shares may be repurchased in privately negotiated and/or open market transactions, including under plans complying with Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act. 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 programs 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.
