Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segments 16.        Segments
We organize our operations around and publicly report our financial results on four reportable segments – Advisory
Services, BOE, Project Management and REI. We also have a “Corporate, other and eliminations” segment. Our Corporate
segment primarily consists of corporate costs for leadership and certain other central functions. We track our strategic non-core
equity investments in “other” which is considered an operating segment and reported together with Corporate as it 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.
On January 1, 2026, we transferred the data center project work that is integrated with our Data Center Services
facilities management business from the Project Management segment to the BOE segment. We have recast prior period
segment results to conform with the current presentation.
Segment operating profit (SOP) is the measure reported to Robert Sulentic, CBRE’s Chair and Chief Executive Officer
(CEO), who is our chief operating decision maker (CODM) for purposes of assessing performance and allocating resources to
each segment. The CODM uses SOP results compared to prior periods and previously forecasted amounts to assess
performance and identify trends of ongoing operations within each segment. SOP excludes the impact of certain costs and
charges that may obscure the underlying performance of our businesses and related trends, including restructuring charges and
other costs incurred, which are outside the ordinary course of business. SOP represents earnings, inclusive of amounts
attributable to non-controlling interests, before net interest expense, write-off of financing costs on extinguished debt, income
taxes, depreciation and amortization, and asset impairments. In addition, management excludes the following costs from SOP
(Other segment adjustments):
•net non-cash mortgage servicing rights,
•integration and other costs related to acquisitions,
•carried interest incentive compensation expense to align with the timing of associated revenue,
•charges related to indirect tax audits and settlements,
•net results related to the wind-down of certain businesses,
•impact of fair value non-cash adjustments related to unconsolidated equity investments,
•costs associated with business and finance transformation,
•costs associated with efficiency and cost-reduction initiatives, and
•provision associated with Telford’s fire safety remediation efforts.
There have been no significant changes to the measurement methods of expenses or methods of allocating expenses to
segments during 2026.
Summarized financial information by segment is as follows (dollars in millions):
