TORONTO, Aug. 02, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Colliers International Group Inc. (NASDAQ and TSX: CIGI) (“Colliers” or the “Company”) today announced operating and financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023. All amounts are in US dollars.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2023, revenues were $1.08 billion, down 4% (4% in local currency) and adjusted EBITDA (note 1) was $147.1 million, down 9% (8% in local currency). Adjusted EPS (note 2) was $1.31, relative to $1.84 in the prior year quarter and was primarily impacted by higher interest expense. Second quarter adjusted EPS would have been approximately $0.01 higher excluding foreign exchange impacts. The GAAP operating earnings were $75.3 million as compared to $103.9 million in the prior year quarter. The GAAP diluted net loss per share was $0.16 versus earnings of $0.67 in the prior year quarter primarily due to lower operating earnings and higher interest expense. The second quarter GAAP diluted net loss per share would have been approximately $0.01 lower excluding changes in foreign exchange rates.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, revenues were $2.04 billion, down 4% (3% in local currency), adjusted EBITDA (note 1) was $251.7 million, down 11% (11% in local currency) and adjusted EPS (note 2) was $2.16, relative to $3.28 in the prior year period. Six months ended June 30, 2023 adjusted EPS would have been approximately $0.01 higher excluding foreign exchange impacts. The GAAP operating earnings were $97.4 million as compared to $144.7 million in the prior year period. The GAAP diluted net loss per share was $0.61 as compared to earnings per share of $0.26 in the prior year period. Six months ended June 30, 2023 GAAP diluted net loss per share would have been approximately $0.01 lower excluding changes in foreign exchange rates.

“During the second quarter, Colliers’ recurring revenues continued to grow, accounting for 65% of Adjusted EBITDA. Having significant recurring revenues highlights our balanced and resilient business model, enables us to withstand market fluctuations and sets us apart from the others. While Investment Management and Outsourcing & Advisory experienced robust growth during the quarter with revenues up 58% and 10%, respectively, Capital Markets and, to a lesser extent, Leasing declined compared to the prior year’s record revenue levels. Lower transaction volumes were caused by rising interest rates, challenging debt availability and continued price discovery, which we expect will rebound once market conditions stabilize. Since most of our business is performing well, we are maintaining our financial outlook for the year,” said Jay S. Hennick, Chairman & CEO of Colliers.

“In the quarter, Colliers continued to complete strategic investments across the board, adding Engineering and Project Management companies in the US, Australia and New Zealand. Since 2015, Colliers has transformed into a highly diversified and global professional services company with significant recurring revenue streams and a proven record of creating value for shareholders,” he concluded.

(1) Investment Management local currency revenues, excluding pass-through carried interest, were up 62% and 78% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

For the second quarter, consolidated revenues decreased 4% on a local currency basis. Investment Management and Outsourcing & Advisory generated robust growth. Capital Markets and, to a lesser extent, Leasing declined as expected relative to the prior year’s record levels, consistent with the overall market. Consolidated internal revenues measured in local currencies declined 10% (note 3) versus the prior year quarter.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, consolidated revenues decreased 3% on a local currency basis. Investment Management and Outsourcing & Advisory were up strongly while Capital Markets and, to a lesser extent, Leasing declined in line with overall market conditions. Consolidated internal revenues measured in local currencies were down 10% (note 3).

Segmented Second Quarter Results
Revenues in the Americas region totalled $631.3 million down 15% (14% in local currency) versus $740.7 million in the comparative prior year quarter. The decline was attributable to lower Capital Markets activity and, to a lesser extent, Leasing relative to a record prior year quarter. Outsourcing & Advisory revenues were up, led by Engineering & Design and Project Management. Adjusted EBITDA was $69.6 million, down 31% (31% in local currency) relative to the prior year quarter, which was favourably impacted by an $11.7 million gain on the termination of a lease. GAAP operating earnings were $46.5 million, relative to $81.1 million in the prior year quarter.

Revenues in the EMEA region totalled $173.8 million, up 3% (1% in local currency) compared to $169.3 million in the prior year quarter on higher Outsourcing & Advisory revenues (including recent acquisitions), while Capital Markets and Leasing declined, consistent with market conditions in the region. Adjusted EBITDA was $6.3 million compared to $14.4 million in the prior year quarter, attributable to the reduction in higher-margin transactional revenues. The GAAP operating loss was $5.1 million compared to earnings of $4.2 million in the prior year quarter.

Revenues in the Asia Pacific region totalled $153.9 million compared to $142.6 million in the prior year quarter, up 8% (14% in local currency), with growth in Leasing and Outsourcing & Advisory (including recent acquisitions) more than offsetting a modest decline in Capital Markets. Adjusted EBITDA was $23.0 million, up 18% (24% in local currency) primarily on changes in service mix. GAAP operating earnings were $19.6 million, versus $17.6 million in the prior year quarter.

Investment Management revenues were $118.9 million compared to $75.1 million in the prior year quarter, up 58% (58% in local currency). Passthrough revenue (from historical carried interest) was nil versus $1.9 million in the prior year quarter. Excluding the impact of carried interest, revenue was up 62% (62% in local currency) driven by both acquisitions and management fee growth from increased assets under management (“AUM”). Adjusted EBITDA was $50.0 million, up 71% (71% in local currency) over the prior year quarter. GAAP operating earnings were $26.4 million in the quarter, versus $19.2 million in the prior year quarter. AUM were $99.0 billion as of June 30, 2023 compared to $97.7 billion as of December 31, 2022.

Unallocated global corporate costs as reported in Adjusted EBITDA were $1.9 million in the second quarter, relative to $3.4 million in the prior year quarter. The corporate GAAP operating loss for the quarter was $12.1 million relative to $18.2 million in the second quarter of 2022.

Outlook for 2023
The Company is maintaining the outlook previously provided in May 2023. Lower Capital Markets and Leasing transaction volumes are expected to persist for the remainder of the year. Robust growth (including the impact of recent acquisitions) is expected to continue in the Company’s high value recurring service lines, Investment Management and Outsourcing & Advisory. The Company expects higher Adjusted EBITDA margins in 2023 due to the change in service mix (greater proportion of earnings coming from higher-margin Investment Management) offset in part by lower Capital Markets margins, net of cost control measures across the Company. Adjusted EPS growth is expected to continue to be impacted by increased interest expense as well as a larger proportion of earnings growth generated from non-wholly owned operations.

The outlook for 2023, including the impact of acquisitions completed in 2022 and to the present date in 2023, is as follows:

Measure 2022 Outlook for 2023
Revenue $4.5 billion $4.4 billion - $4.6 billion
AEBITDA $630.5 million $670 million - $720 million
AEPS $6.99 $6.70 - $7.50

The financial outlook is based on the Company’s best available information as of the date of this press release, and remains subject to change based on numerous macroeconomic, health, social, geopolitical and related factors.

Notes
Non-GAAP Measures

1. Reconciliation of net earnings to adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net earnings, adjusted to exclude: (i) income tax; (ii) other expense (income); (iii) interest expense; (iv) loss on disposal of operations; (v) depreciation and amortization, including amortization of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”); (vi) gains attributable to MSRs; (vii) acquisition-related items (including contingent acquisition consideration fair value adjustments, contingent acquisition consideration-related compensation expense and transaction costs); (viii) restructuring costs and (ix) stock-based compensation expense. We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our own operating performance and our ability to service debt, as well as an integral part of our planning and reporting systems. Additionally, we use this measure in conjunction with discounted cash flow models to determine the Company’s overall enterprise valuation and to evaluate acquisition targets. We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure because we believe such measure is useful to investors as a reasonable indicator of operating performance because of the low capital intensity of the Company’s service operations. We believe this measure is a financial metric used by many investors to compare companies, especially in the services industry. This measure is not a recognized measure of financial performance under GAAP in the United States, and should not be considered as a substitute for operating earnings, net earnings or cash flow from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our method of calculating adjusted EBITDA may differ from other issuers and accordingly, this measure may not be comparable to measures used by other issuers. A reconciliation of net earnings to adjusted EBITDA appears below.

Adjusted EBITDA $ 147,080     $ 161,313     $ 251,703     $ 282,774  

2. Reconciliation of net earnings and diluted net earnings per common share to adjusted net earnings and adjusted EPS

Adjusted EPS is defined as diluted net earnings per share as calculated under the “if-converted” method, adjusted for the effect, after income tax, of: (i) the non-controlling interest redemption increment; (ii) loss on disposal of operations; (iii) amortization expense related to intangible assets recognized in connection with acquisitions and MSRs; (iv) gains attributable to MSRs; (v) acquisition-related items; (vi) restructuring costs and (vii) stock-based compensation expense. We believe this measure is useful to investors because it provides a supplemental way to understand the underlying operating performance of the Company and enhances the comparability of operating results from period to period. Adjusted EPS is not a recognized measure of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered as a substitute for diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations, as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our method of calculating this non-GAAP measure may differ from other issuers and, accordingly, this measure may not be comparable to measures used by other issuers. A reconciliation of net earnings to adjusted net earnings and of diluted net earnings per share to adjusted EPS appears below.

Adjusted EPS is calculated using the “if-converted” method of calculating earnings per share in relation to the Convertible Notes, which were issued on May 19, 2020 and fully converted or redeemed by June 1, 2023. As such, the interest (net of tax) on the Convertible Notes is added to the numerator and the additional shares issuable on conversion of the Convertible Notes are added to the denominator of the earnings per share calculation to determine if an assumed conversion is more dilutive than no assumption of conversion. The “if-converted” method is used if the impact of the assumed conversion is dilutive. The “if-converted” method is dilutive for the adjusted EPS calculation for all periods presented.

(1) Amounts shown reflect the "if-converted" method's dilutive impact on the adjusted EPS calculation for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

3. Reconciliation of net cash flow from operations to free cash flow

Free cash flow is defined as net cash flow from operating activities plus contingent acquisition consideration paid, less purchases of fixed assets, plus cash collections on AR Facility deferred purchase price less distributions to non-controlling interests. We use free cash flow as a measure to evaluate and monitor operating performance as well as our ability to service debt, fund acquisitions and pay of dividends to shareholders. We present free cash flow as a supplemental measure because we believe this measure is a financial metric used by many investors to compare valuation and liquidity measures across companies, especially in the services industry. This measure is not a recognized measure of financial performance under GAAP in the United States, and should not be considered as a substitute for operating earnings, net earnings or cash flow from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our method of calculating free cash flow may differ from other issuers and accordingly, this measure may not be comparable to measures used by other issuers. A reconciliation of net cash flow from operating activities to free cash flow appears below.

Purchase of fixed assets   (22,179 )     (13,581 )     (41,062 )     (23,416 )
Cash collections on AR Facility deferred purchase price   28,539       90,101       59,311       256,429  
Distributions paid to non-controlling interests   (40,059 )     (26,628 )     (51,120 )     (41,554 )
Free cash flow $ 67,993     $ 83,548     $ (63,475 )   $ 3,959  

4. Local currency revenue and AEBITDA growth rate and internal revenue growth rate measures

Percentage revenue and AEBITDA variances presented on a local currency basis are calculated by translating the current period results of our non-US dollar denominated operations to US dollars using the foreign currency exchange rates from the periods against which the current period results are being compared. Percentage revenue variances presented on an internal growth basis are calculated assuming no impact from acquired entities in the current and prior periods. Revenue from acquired entities, including any foreign exchange impacts, are treated as acquisition growth until the respective anniversaries of the acquisitions. We believe that these revenue growth rate methodologies provide a framework for assessing the Company’s performance and operations excluding the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and acquisitions. Since these revenue growth rate measures are not calculated under GAAP, they may not be comparable to similar measures used by other issuers.

5. Assets under management

We use the term assets under management (“AUM”) as a measure of the scale of our Investment Management operations. AUM is defined as the gross market value of operating assets and the projected gross cost of development assets of the funds, partnerships and accounts to which we provide management and advisory services, including capital that such funds, partnerships and accounts have the right to call from investors pursuant to capital commitments. Our definition of AUM may differ from those used by other issuers and as such may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other issuers.

6. Adjusted EBITDA from recurring revenue percentage

Adjusted EBITDA from recurring revenue percentage is computed on a trailing twelve-month basis and represents the proportion of adjusted EBITDA (note 1) that is derived from Outsourcing & Advisory and Investment Management service lines. Both these service lines represent medium to long-term duration revenue streams that are either contractual or repeatable in nature. Adjusted EBITDA for this purpose is calculated in the same manner as for our debt agreement covenant calculation purposes, incorporating the expected full year impact of business acquisitions and dispositions.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings

  1. Acquisition-related items include contingent acquisition consideration fair value adjustments, contingent acquisition consideration-related compensation expense and transaction costs.
  2. Diluted EPS is calculated using the “if-converted” method of calculating earnings per share in relation to the Convertible Notes, which were issued on May 19, 2020 and fully converted or redeemed by June 1, 2023. As such, the interest (net of tax) on the Convertible Notes is added to the numerator and the additional shares issuable on conversion of the Convertible Notes are added to the denominator of the earnings per share calculation to determine if an assumed conversion is more dilutive than no assumption of conversion. The “if-converted” method is used if the impact of the assumed conversion is dilutive. The “if-converted” method is dilutive for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively and anti-dilutive for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
