Frequently Asked Questions

CBRE's revenue growth in 2025 was primarily driven by a significantly improved operating environment for commercial real estate, leading to increased property leasing and sales activity. This was complemented by strong occupier demand for outsourcing services, supporting growth in facilities management and project management. Strategic acquisitions, such as Industrious and Pearce Services, also contributed to revenue expansion by adding new service lines and client bases.

CBRE has strategically shifted its business mix to be more weighted towards resilient revenue sources. This includes growing its occupier outsourcing services (like facilities management and property management) and project management capabilities, which tend to be more stable across economic cycles. This diversification reduces the company's overall dependence on more cyclical transactional revenues from property sales and leasing.

As of December 31, 2025, CBRE maintained a strong liquidity position with $1.9 billion in cash and cash equivalents and $3.8 billion available under its revolving credit facilities. The company deployed approximately $2.7 billion of capital in 2025, with major uses including $1.2 billion for acquisitions (Pearce Services and Industrious) and $956 million for share repurchases. This reflects a strategy focused on strategic growth through M&A and returning capital to shareholders.

CBRE faces several risks, including those related to general economic and political conditions, volatility in capital and credit markets, interest rate fluctuations, and currency exchange rate movements given its global operations. Operational risks include cybersecurity threats, integration challenges from acquisitions, and reliance on key personnel and client relationships. The company also noted potential impacts from the Telford Homes fire safety remediation provision.
