Business Outlook
Despite ongoing price discovery and wider than normal bid/ask spreads, the Company believes the commercial real estate transaction market is poised to overcome the near-term challenges which are currently expected to extend through 2026. Accordingly, the Company believes it remains well-positioned to return to long-term growth.
The Company benefits from its experienced management team, infrastructure investments, industry-leading market research and proprietary technology. We believe the size and fragmentation of the Private Client Market continue to offer long-term growth opportunities through consolidation. This highly fragmented market segment consistently accounts for over 80% of all
Key factors that may influence the Company’s business during the remainder of 2026 include:
- Volatility in transactional activity and investor sentiment driven by:
- potentially volatile cost of debt capital;
- interest rate uncertainty, the potential for rising inflation and the heightened bid-ask spread between buyers and sellers;
- risks of a potential recession and its unfavorable impact on commercial real estate space demand;
- possible impact of the
U.S . administration’s tariff, immigration, geopolitics and other policy changes on market sentiment, which may influence transaction velocity and/or future fluctuations in interest rates, sales and financing activity; and - increases in operating expenses driven by labor costs, insurance, taxes and cost of construction materials.
- The implementation of new tax laws, many of which are beneficial to commercial real estate investors;
- Volatility in the markets in which the Company operates;
- Increases in costs related to in-person events, client meetings, and conferences;
- Global geopolitical uncertainty, which may cause investors to refrain from transacting; and
- The potential for acquisition activity and subsequent integration.

Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation
Adjusted EBITDA, which the Company defines as net income (loss) before (i) interest income and other, including interest on marketable debt securities, available-for-sale and cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, and net realized gains (losses) on marketable debt securities, available-for-sale, (ii) interest expense, (iii) provision (benefit) for income taxes, (iv) depreciation and amortization, and (v) stock-based compensation. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA in its business operations to evaluate the performance of its business, develop budgets and measure its performance against those budgets, among other things. The Company also believes that analysts and investors use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to evaluate its overall operating performance. However, Adjusted EBITDA has material limitations as a supplemental metric and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under
