Colliers International Group (NASDAQ:CIGI) Announces Quarterly Earnings Results, Beats Expectations By $0.04 EPS

Colliers International Group (NASDAQ:CIGI) (TSE:CIGI) issued its quarterly earnings data on Thursday. The financial services provider reported $1.83 earnings per share for the quarter, beating the consensus estimate of $1.79 by $0.04, Briefing.com reports. The firm had revenue of $1.38 billion for the quarter, compared to the consensus estimate of $1.48 billion. Colliers International Group had a net margin of 1.45% and a return on equity of 20.31%. Colliers International Group’s quarterly revenue was up 16.7% compared to the same quarter last year. During the same period last year, the firm posted $1.72 EPS.

Here are the key takeaways from Colliers International Group’s conference call:

• Strong second-quarter results: Consolidated revenue and net revenue each rose 16% to $1.6 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively, while adjusted EBITDA increased 14% to $205 million and adjusted EPS rose 6% to $1.83.
• Commercial real estate activity recovered broadly, with Capital Markets and leasing revenue each up 23%, supported by stronger transaction activity, industrial-sector demand, market-share gains, and improving financing conditions. Management expects roughly 15% Capital Markets growth and mid-single-digit leasing growth in the third quarter.
• Engineering momentum remains strong: revenue increased 27%, including 5% internal growth, and the segment has a 12-month backlog. The Ayesa acquisition adds higher-margin, less-seasonal operations and expands capabilities in areas such as water, desalination, and marine engineering.
• Investment Management revenue grew 15 and fundraising reached $2.2 billion in the quarter, with management maintaining its 2026 fundraising target of $6 billion-$9 billion. However, platform-building and integration costs reduced the segment margin to 36.5%; management expects margins to recover to the low-40% range in 2027.
• Net leverage ended the quarter at 2.8x after the Ayesa acquisition, but management expects it to decline to approximately 2.3x by year-end versus a longer-term target range of 1.5x-2.0x. If leverage falls as expected, Colliers may repurchase shares at current valuations while continuing to pursue acquisitions.
