TORONTO, Nov. 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Colliers International Group Inc. (NASDAQ and TSX: CIGI) (“Colliers” or the “Company”) today announced operating and financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022. All amounts are in US dollars.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, revenues were $1.11 billion, up 8% (12% in local currency), adjusted EBITDA (note 1) was $145.1 million, up 17% (21% in local currency) and adjusted EPS (note 2) was $1.41, up 11% versus the prior year period. Third quarter adjusted EPS would have been approximately $0.06 higher excluding foreign exchange impacts. GAAP operating earnings were $84.0 million as compared to $76.0 million. GAAP diluted net earnings per share were $0.27 versus $0.40 in the prior year quarter. Third quarter GAAP EPS would have been approximately $0.07 higher excluding changes in foreign exchange rates.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, revenues were $3.24 billion, up 18% (21% in local currency), adjusted EBITDA (note 1) was $427.8 million, up 21% (24% in local currency) and adjusted EPS (note 2) was $4.69, up 20% versus prior year. Nine months ended September 30, 2022 adjusted EPS would have been approximately $0.13 higher excluding foreign exchange impacts. The GAAP operating earnings were $228.7 million and included $27.4 million loss on disposal of the Company’s operations, primarily in Russia. The prior year GAAP operating loss of $269.9 million included $471.9 million settlement of the Long-Term Incentive Arrangement (“LTIA”) with the Company's Chairman & CEO. The GAAP earnings per share were $0.54 as compared to diluted loss per share of $10.19. Year to date GAAP EPS would have been approximately $0.14 higher excluding changes in foreign exchange rates.

“Colliers reported solid third quarter results with Outsourcing & Advisory, Investment Management and Leasing all up strongly, more than offsetting the softness in Capital Markets which is being impacted by higher interest rates, availability of capital and other geopolitical uncertainties,” said Jay S. Hennick, Global Chairman & CEO of Colliers. “Growing recurring revenues and earnings, now at 55% of our proforma EBITDA, together with broader diversification across service lines, geography and client types means the Colliers diversified services business model has more balance and resilience than ever.”

“With the recent additions of Rockwood and Versus, our Investment Management business now represents nearly 30% of our pro forma EBITDA and total assets under management has surpassed $92 billion, firmly establishing Colliers as one of the top players in the rapidly growing alternative private capital industry. In addition, about 85% of our AUM are in perpetual or long-dated strategies with 70% invested in highly defensive asset classes like alternatives and infrastructure creating long-term revenue streams that further fortify our business. Importantly, each of our investment platforms has delivered top-tier returns over the long-term and is led by best-in-class leadership teams who hold significant equity in their own operations thereby creating perfect alignment with our investors and shareholders.”

“In our core service business, we acquired Peakurban during the quarter, adding significant engineering capabilities and a new growth engine to our business in Australia. We also bolstered our presence in the Nordics with an agreement to acquire Pangea Property Partners, a leading real estate advisory firm in Norway and Sweden. Together with our existing operations in Denmark and Finland, Colliers will be the number one player in the Nordic region once the transaction is completed. Finally, just after quarter end, we added Arcadia Property Management to our strong US business, creating further scale and capability in our property management operations.”

“With our highly respected global brand, balanced and diversified business model with significant recurring revenues, a unique enterprising culture and a proven track record of more than 27 years, Colliers continues to be well-positioned to deliver exceptional returns for shareholders in the years to come,” he concluded.

Segmented Third Quarter Results
Revenues in the Americas region totalled $695.1 million for the third quarter, up 13% (13% in local currency) versus $617.1 million in the prior year quarter. Revenue growth was led by Outsourcing & Advisory, particularly Engineering & Design (including recent acquisitions) and Leasing, which benefitted from increased activity in office and industrial asset classes. Capital Markets revenues were impacted by rising interest rates and market uncertainty which reduced sales brokerage and debt origination and financing activity. Adjusted EBITDA was $66.8 million, up 1% (2% in local currency) from the very strong prior year quarter. The margin was impacted by (i) higher discretionary and variable costs as well as (ii) changes in revenue mix with a reduction in higher-margin Capital Markets transactions. GAAP operating earnings were $59.9 million, relative to $48.9 million in the prior year quarter.

Revenues in the EMEA region totalled $164.2 million for the third quarter, up 6% (23% in local currency) compared to $154.9 million in the prior year quarter with growth across all service lines, although unevenly distributed across countries. Revenues were particularly strong in the United Kingdom (including a recent project management acquisition), which more than offset the impact of higher interest rates and geopolitical uncertainty. Adjusted EBITDA was $13.3 million, down 11% (up 1% in local currency) relative to the prior year primarily due to changes in revenue mix. GAAP operating earnings were $6.1 million, versus operating earnings of $11.4 million in the prior year quarter.

Revenues in the Asia Pacific region totalled $152.8 million for the third quarter compared to $172.3 million in the prior year quarter, down 11% (down 4% in local currency). Revenues were impacted by higher interest rates, geopolitical uncertainty and COVID-19 restrictions in several Asian markets, especially China. Adjusted EBITDA was $21.1 million, up 2% (up 12% in local currency) relative to the prior year on a lower cost structure. GAAP operating earnings were $17.5 million, versus $18.3 million in the prior year quarter.

Investment Management revenues for the third quarter were $96.1 million compared to $78.3 million in the prior year quarter, up 23% (23% in local currency). Passthrough revenue from historical carried interest was nil in the quarter versus $18.6 million in the prior year quarter. Excluding the impact of carried interest, revenue was up 61% (62% in local currency) driven by (i) acquisitions and (ii) management fee growth from increased assets under management. Adjusted EBITDA was $36.9 million, up 33% (33% in local currency) over the prior year quarter. GAAP operating earnings were $19.5 million in the quarter, versus $19.8 million in the prior year quarter. Assets under management were $86.2 billion as of September 30, 2022, up 87% from $46.1 billion on September 30, 2021. Including Versus Capital (completed on October 12, 2022), assets under management are now $92.2 billion.

Unallocated global corporate earnings as reported in Adjusted EBITDA were $7.0 million in the third quarter, relative to unallocated global corporate costs of $5.6 million in the prior year quarter due to a reduction in performance-based compensation accruals in the current period and foreign exchange impact. The corporate GAAP operating loss for the quarter was $19.0 million relative to a loss of $22.5 million in the third quarter of 2021, with the prior year period impacted by higher contingent acquisition consideration expense related to acquisitions.

Outlook for 2022
The Company is adjusting its outlook for the full year 2022 to reflect year to date operating results, contributions from recent acquisitions, the operating impact of rising global interest rates and geopolitical uncertainties as well as adverse foreign exchange impacts on AEPS. The income tax rate and NCI share of earnings also reflect updated expectations relating to the earnings mix for the year. 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, but not limited to, numerous macroeconomic, health, social, geopolitical (including escalation of hostilities, outbreak of war, elections, disruption of supply chains) 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) settlement of LTIA; (v) loss on disposal of operations; (vi) depreciation and amortization, including amortization of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”); (vii) gains attributable to MSRs; (viii) acquisition-related items (including contingent acquisition consideration fair value adjustments, contingent acquisition consideration-related compensation expense and transaction costs); (ix) restructuring costs and (x) 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 $ 145,065     $ 123,641     $ 427,839     $ 352,328  

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) settlement of LTIA; (iii) loss on disposal of operations; (iv) amortization expense related to intangible assets recognized in connection with acquisitions and MSRs; (v) gains attributable to MSRs; (vi) acquisition-related items; (vii) restructuring costs and (viii) 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. 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

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, plus the cash portion of the LTIA settlement, less purchases of fixed assets, plus cash collections on AR Facility deferred purchase price. 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 and distributions to non-controlling interests. 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.

    Three months ended   Nine months ended
  September 30   September 30
(in thousands of US$) 2022     2021     2022     2021  
                         
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities $ 76,840     $ 192,524     $ (171,470 )   $ 211,072  
Contingent acquisition consideration paid   8,129       -       68,939       10,472  
Settlement of LTIA (cash portion)   -       -       -       96,186  
Purchase of fixed assets   (18,391 )     (11,847 )     (41,807 )     (44,450 )
Cash collections on AR Facility deferred purchase price   88,627       11,563       345,056       34,295  
Free cash flow $ 155,205     $ 192,240     $ 200,718     $ 307,575  

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

Percentage revenue 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. We report this metric on a pro forma basis, 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)   Settlement of Long-Term Incentive Arrangement with the Company’s Chairman & CEO as approved by 95% of the Company’s disinterested shareholders. The settlement resulted in a cash payment of $96,186 and the issuance of 3,572,858 Subordinate Voting Shares on April 16, 2021.
(3)   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. 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 anti-dilutive for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.
(4)   See definition and reconciliation above.
