05—Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What were the main drivers of revenue growth in the third quarter of 2025?
Revenue growth was primarily driven by an increase in leasing activity, particularly for office space, industrial, and data centers, along with higher revenue from commercial mortgage origination and property sales in the Advisory segment. The Building Operations & Experience (BOE) segment also contributed significantly due to strong new business activity, contract expansions, and acquisitions. The Project Management segment saw increased revenue driven by strength in the United Kingdom, the Middle East, and North America.
How has the company's debt position changed, and what is its liquidity outlook?
Total liabilities increased to $19.27 billion from $15.19 billion at year-end 2024. This increase is largely attributable to higher borrowings under warehouse lines of credit and commercial paper, as well as increased operating lease liabilities following the acquisition of Industrious. However, the company ended the quarter with $1.67 billion in cash and cash equivalents, and a significant portion of its debt is long-term. Management believes that internally generated cash flow and available revolving credit facilities and commercial paper programs are sufficient to meet working capital and funding requirements for the foreseeable future, including the next 12 months.
What impact did the Industrious acquisition have on the financial statements?
The acquisition of the remaining 60% interest in Industrious for $841 million on January 16, 2025, significantly impacted the balance sheet, increasing goodwill by $571 million and other intangible assets. It also contributed to the rise in operating lease assets and liabilities. Industrious is now part of the Building Operations & Experience (BOE) segment. The acquisition also led to an increase in total assets and liabilities.
What is the company's strategy regarding share repurchases?
CBRE has a substantial share repurchase program, with $9.0 billion authorized under the 2024 program, extended through December 31, 2029. While no shares were repurchased in the third quarter of 2025, the company repurchased $663 million year-to-date. The company intends to fund future repurchases with existing cash and may use them to offset stock-based compensation or opportunistically.
