Overview We are a leading national real estate services firm specializing in commercial real estate investment sales, financing services, research, and advisory services. We have been the top commercial real estate investment broker in the United States based on the number of investment transactions for more than 15 years. As of June 30, 2026, we had 1,677 investment sales and financing professionals that are primarily exclusive independent contractors operating in more than 80 offices, who provide real estate brokerage and financing services to sellers and buyers of commercial real estate assets. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we closed 2,306 and 4,328 investment sales, financing and other transactions with total sales volume of approximately $14.1 billion and $26.2 billion, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we closed 8,818 investment sales, financing and other transactions with total sales volume of approximately $50.8 billion. We generate revenue by collecting real estate brokerage commissions upon the sale, and financing fees upon the financing of commercial properties, by providing equity advisory services and loan sales, loan guarantees and providing consulting and advisory services. Real estate brokerage commissions are typically based upon the value of the property and financing fees are typically based upon the size of the loan. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, approximately 82% of our revenue was generated from real estate brokerage commissions, 15% from financing fees and 3% from other revenue, including consulting and advisory services. We divide commercial real estate into four major markets, characterized by price: •Properties priced less than $1 million; •Private client market: properties priced from $1 million to up to but less than $10 million; •Middle market: properties priced from $10 million to up to but less than $20 million; and •Larger transaction market: properties priced from $20 million and above. We are the industry leader in serving private clients in the $1 million - $10 million private client market, which contributed approximately 64% and 66% of our real estate brokerage commissions during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and approximately 64% and 65% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The following table sets forth the number of transactions, sales volume and revenue by each commercial real estate market for real estate brokerage: Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 Change Real Estate Brokerage Number Volume Revenue Number Volume Revenue Number Volume Revenue (in millions) (in thousands) (in millions) (in thousands) (in millions) (in thousands) <$1 million 222 $ 128 $ 6,101 214 $ 122 $ 5,651 8 $ 6 $ 450 Private Client Market ($1 – <$10 million) 1,144 3,754 106,214 1,030 3,345 93,514 114 409 12,700 Middle Market ($10 – <$20 million) 82 1,179 21,704 71 933 19,223 11 246 2,481 Larger Transaction Market (≥$20 million) 82 4,432 32,983 60 3,616 23,029 22 816 9,954 1,530 $ 9,493 $ 167,002 1,375 $ 8,016 $ 141,417 155 $ 1,477 $ 25,585 30 Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 Change Real Estate Brokerage Number Volume Revenue Number Volume Revenue Number Volume Revenue (in millions) (in thousands) (in millions) (in thousands) (in millions) (in thousands) <$1 million 423 $ 246 $ 11,436 413 $ 245 $ 10,676 10 $ 1 $ 760 Private Client Market ($1 – <$10 million) 2,134 7,037 194,351 1,862 6,033 171,219 272 1,004 23,132 Middle Market ($10 – <$20 million) 162 2,217 41,360 156 2,135 40,112 6 82 1,248 Larger Transaction Market (≥$20 million) 159 7,884 57,967 119 6,262 43,032 40 1,622 14,935 2,878 $ 17,384 $ 305,114 2,550 $ 14,675 $ 265,039 328 $ 2,709 $ 40,075 Factors Affecting Our Business Our business and our operating results, financial condition and liquidity are significantly affected by the number and size of commercial real estate investment sales and financing transactions that we close in any period. The number and size of these transactions are affected by our ability to recruit and retain investment sales and financing professionals, identify and contract properties for sale, and identify those that need financing and refinancing. We principally monitor the commercial real estate market through four factors, which generally drive our business. The factors are the economy, commercial real estate supply and demand, capital markets, and investor sentiment and investment activity. The Economy Our business is dependent on economic conditions within the markets in which we operate. Changes in the economy on a global, national, regional, or local basis can have a positive or negative impact on our business. Economic indicators and projections related to job growth, unemployment, interest rates, retail spending and consumer confidence trends can have a positive or negative impact on our business. Overall market conditions, including global trade, interest rate changes, inflation, job creation, and global events can affect investor sentiment and, ultimately, the demand for our services from investors in real estate. Despite numerous economic headwinds, the U.S. economy is proving to be durable and resilient. Following the implementation of tariffs in May 2025, job creation stalled, resulting in a net loss of 62,000 positions in the nine months ending in February 2026. However, the employment market has since positively shifted, creating 548,000 new jobs from March through June. This shift in momentum aligned with an increase of the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) manufacturing and services indexes and strengthening retail sales activity. The improved economic momentum of the second quarter translated into positive space demand across all major commercial property types. Although underlying economic momentum improved during the second quarter, several developments emerging after quarter-end have introduced new risks that could temper growth in the second half of the year. The brief respite offered by the temporary ceasefire in the Middle East conflict that allowed oil shipments to resume through the Strait of Hormuz helped alleviate energy-driven headline CPI inflation which peaked in May at 4.2%. Nonetheless, after inflation fell to 3.5% in June, the hostilities reignited and the Strait of Hormuz has since reclosed. As a result, crude oil and gasoline prices have begun to rise. Should inflation remain elevated, the Federal Reserve could face continued pressure to keep interest rates higher for longer. Interest rate futures indicate that market participants broadly expect the Federal Reserve to raise the federal funds target rate by at least 25 basis points by year-end. Prior to the conflict in the Middle East, it was widely believed the Federal Reserve would cut rates in 2026, and this inversion of expectations has pushed the 10-year Treasury yield approximately 70 basis points higher, into the mid-4% range. As the interest rate climb flowed through to commercial real estate borrowing costs, it widened the buyer/seller expectation gap and impacted investor sentiment. Despite rising interest rates, investor motivation to transact remains strong, with many property owners facing impending debt maturities choosing to sell rather than wait for rates to fall. Tariffs could also impact inflation and interest rates this year. Following the U.S. Supreme Court’s invalidation of the tariffs applied using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, President Trump relied on Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, to apply 10% universal tariffs. These tariffs expired on July 24, 2026, and on July 23, 2026 the Administration announced new tariffs under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. Under this authority, an additional duty of 10% or 12.5% applies to goods from specific countries. In addition, the U.S. declined to commit to extending the USMCA trade agreement beyond its scheduled review period with America’s two largest trade partners, Mexico and 31 Canada. Under the agreement, any party may withdraw with six months written notice. The USMCA generally eliminates tariffs on many goods traded among the three countries and an exit from the agreement could lead to increased tariffs on imports from the two countries that collectively account for about 28% of U.S. imports. If additional tariffs are imposed on Canada and Mexico, and if tariffs on other countries are increased under the Section 301 rule, it could potentially place additional upward pressure on inflation, pushing the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates elevated. While the Middle East conflict, tariffs and other policies have increased uncertainty and could potentially drive inflation higher, the U.S. economy remains fundamentally resilient. U.S. GDP grew by 2.1% in the first quarter of 2026 and economists forecast second quarter growth ranging from 1.5% to 2.1%. Consumer sentiment remains low, but headline retail sales were up by 6.7% on a year-over-year basis as of June 2026. In conjunction with the recent pace of positive job creation, the broader U.S. economy appears to remain healthy. While new headwinds could emerge, economic momentum entered the second half of the year on a positive trajectory. Commercial Real Estate Supply and Demand Our business is dependent on the willingness of investors to invest in or sell commercial real estate, which is affected by many factors beyond our control. These factors include the supply of commercial real estate, coupled with user demand for these properties, and the performance of real estate assets, when compared with other investment alternatives, such as stocks and bonds. Multifamily housing demand strengthened in the second quarter of 2026, building on the gains of the first quarter. Improved job creation helped fuel household formation following the lackluster hiring in the second half of 2025. The slowing pace of new multifamily completions, which were nearly 30% lower in the first half of 2026 compared to the same period last year, helped fuel a substantive reduction in vacancy from 5.2% at year-end 2025 to 4.5% in the second quarter. While rent growth varies dramatically by region, with Sun Belt metros still facing a meaningful supply overhang and negative rent growth in several metros, the broader trend remains positive. With multifamily completions expected to decline further in the second half of the year and into 2027, the prospect of strengthening property performance offers investors an improving outlook. Although demand could be restrained if the economy, job creation or household formation weakens, the current outlook remains cautiously optimistic. The retail and industrial sectors remain encumbered by tariffs, economic uncertainty and elevated shipping and transportation costs, but space demand remained positive in the second quarter of 2026. Space absorption balanced with new supply in the second quarter to keep the vacancy rates of both retail and industrial stable. Record low retail space completions for the year should help restrain vacancy rates and sustain a competitive leasing climate. Likewise, industrial space additions for the year are forecast to be their lowest since 2014. While the conflict in the Middle East may sustain elevated inflation including higher shipping and trucking costs, retail sales in the second quarter remained strong. On a year-over-year basis, retail sales were up by 6.7% in June, and on an inflation adjusted basis they were 3.1% ahead of last year, indicating that consumption remains healthy. Barring a sizable negative economic shock or a significant rise in the cost of debt capital, investment activity in both property types remains positioned to sustain momentum through the second half of the year. Demand for office space remains positive as companies increasingly bring more of their workforce into the office. Office space absorption has been positive for nine consecutive quarters, with annual gains on par with the 10-year average prior to the pandemic. While space demand has been concentrated in Class A properties and suburban areas of primary markets, the gains have been sufficient to reduce the vacancy rate by 140 basis points from its peak of 17.3% in the first quarter of 2024. Opportunistic investors who have acquired office assets at a significant discount and who anticipate an extended office property recovery cycle have boosted office property transaction activity. The commercial real estate space demand outlook remains difficult to discern amid the dramatic policy shifts enacted by the U.S. presidential administration. Increased uncertainty, weakened sentiment and higher inflation could slow decision making, causing commercial real estate space demand to falter. If policy clarity emerges, commercial real estate space demand could be reinvigorated. Nonetheless, all commercial real estate property types aside from office properties entered the new cycle on sound footing, suggesting a durable performance outlook. Capital Markets Credit and liquidity issues in the financial markets have a direct impact on the flow of capital to the commercial real estate market. Real estate purchases are often financed with debt, and as a result, credit and liquidity impact transaction 32 activity and prices. Movements of interest rates in one direction, whether increasing or decreasing, could adversely or positively affect the operations and income potential of commercial real estate properties, as well as lender and equity underwriting for real estate investments. These changes directly influence investor demand for commercial real estate investments and what they are willing to pay. Furthermore, the use of debt or loan-to-value ratios can shift along with lender confidence and underwriting standards. At times of heightened uncertainty or liquidity issues, loan-to-values decline, requiring buyers to provide more equity and take more risk to close deals. After a surge in March 2026 following the onset of the conflict in the Middle East, interest rates appear to have stabilized, with the 10-year treasury rate holding relatively steady in the mid-4% range. Given the inflation risks spurred by the conflict, the Federal Reserve is currently expected to raise rates later this year. However, this outlook is somewhat tempered by the ascension of Kevin Warsh to the Chairmanship of the Federal Reserve. While Warsh has reiterated the Federal Reserve’s commitment to stabilizing inflation, he has launched five task forces to reevaluate Federal Reserve practices. The task forces will review communications policies, assess how the Federal Reserve measures and manages inflation, including which data sources they rely on. They will also consider U.S. worker productivity and jobs as well as the strategy for managing the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet. While the Federal Reserve’s objectives remain the same, changes in the data they use and how they make decisions could influence rate policy in the latter part of the year or in 2027. Commercial real estate lender spreads widened following the start of the Middle East conflict, but they have since tightened modestly then stabilized. Interest rates for multifamily properties remain markedly higher than before the start of the conflict, but interest rates on commercial properties have tapered back into alignment with pre-conflict levels. However, the rate outlook remains fluid with geopolitical forces and a new Federal Reserve Chair being key variables. Debt capital liquidity remains healthy with all lenders actively engaging the market. Although economic uncertainty combined with financial market and interest rate volatility normally tends to increase investor caution, capital flows into commercial real estate could potentially be bolstered. As a “hard asset” with some level of resistance to inflation, recessions and financial market volatility, investment into commercial real estate could benefit from the current economic climate. The repricing of commercial real estate assets over the last three years has enhanced their yield profile, supporting positive or neutral leverage in many markets and property types. In addition, the passage of the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” in July 2025 provides some tax benefits and additional clarity to the commercial real estate market. Bonus depreciation rules, increased state and local tax (“SALT”) allowances, and increased deductibility of interest paid on commercial real estate could bolster investment activity. Furthermore, by making many of the new tax rules permanent, investors can rely on greater tax policy certainty, allowing them to deploy longer-term investment strategies. Whether capital migrates to commercial properties will likely depend on the risk perception of the broader financial market. Investor Sentiment and Investment Activity We facilitate investors buying, selling, and financing properties in order to generate commissions. Investors’ desires and need to engage in real estate transactions are dependent on many factors that are beyond our control. The economy, supply and demand for properly positioned properties, available credit and market events impact investor sentiment and, therefore, transaction velocity. In addition, our private clients, who make up the largest source of revenue, are often motivated to buy, sell and/or refinance properties due to personal circumstances, such as death, divorce, partnership breakups and estate planning. Commercial real estate transaction activity increased by 3% in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, led by gains in institutional grade industrial, retail and hotel property sales. In the second quarter, industrial transactions priced $20 million and higher surged to 753 transactions while retail and hotel transactions above $20 million increased by 42% and 23% respectively. Second quarter transaction velocity of property types priced between $2.5 million and $10 million edged down by 4% compared to the same quarter last year while the $10 million to $20 million segment gained 11%. The Middle East conflict remains a wildcard in the commercial real estate investment outlook. If the conflict is resolved before major inflationary and economic disruptions occur, transaction velocity could gain momentum. However, if the conflict carries into the fourth quarter, it could potentially elevate inflation and recession risks, possibly eroding investor confidence. If economic and financial market stability is disrupted by the conflict and inflation accelerates, then commercial real estate could emerge as a favored investment option due to its more durable cash flows and inflation resistance. 33 Several metrics traditionally associated with rising transaction activity, including increased exclusive inventory being brought to market and rising requests for Broker Opinions of Value, suggest that transactional momentum could be sustained in the coming quarters. Nonetheless, the variety of potential headwinds facing the sector, including the economy, interest rates, financial market trends, geopolitical and commercial real estate pricing clarity, could suppress activity. In the current uncertain climate, defensive assets such as single-tenant net lease properties backed by high-credit tenants and medical office assets continue to receive buyer interest. Apartment properties, supported by positive long-term drivers, including robust demographics of the renter-aged population and the high cost of homeownership, is also a favored property segment. Another important factor influencing the investor outlook is the renewal of many of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provisions. Accelerated depreciation, pass-through entity deductions, increases in Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) allocations, increased SALT deductions and the renewal of Opportunity Zones could benefit commercial real estate investment. Ultimately, market velocity will be dictated by a combination of the economic outlook, financial market trends, geopolitical forces, Federal Reserve action, interest rates and the buyer/seller expectation gap. If trade and foreign policy stabilize, uncertainty abates and investor sentiment rises, we believe commercial real estate investment activity could gain additional momentum. Key Financial Measures and Indicators Revenue Our revenue is primarily generated from our real estate investment sales business. In addition to real estate brokerage commissions, we generate revenue from financing fees and from other revenue, which are primarily comprised of consulting and advisory fees. Because our business is transaction oriented, we rely on investment sales and financing professionals to continually develop leads, identify properties to sell and finance, market those properties and close the sale or financing in a timely manner to generate a consistent flow of revenue. While our sales volume is impacted by seasonality factors, the timing of closings is also dependent on many market and personal factors unique to a particular client or transaction, particularly clients transacting in the $1 million to $10 million private client market. These factors can cause transactions to be accelerated or delayed beyond our control. Further, commission rates earned are generally inversely related to the value of the property sold or financed. As we have expanded our business into the middle and larger transaction markets, we have seen our overall commission rates fluctuate from period-to-period as a result of changes in the relative mix of the number and volume of investment sales transactions closed in the middle and larger transaction markets as compared to the $1 million to $10 million private client market. These factors may result in period-to-period variations in our revenue that differ from historical patterns. A small percentage of our transactions include retainer fees and/or breakage fees. Retainer fees are credited against a success-based fee paid upon the closing of a transaction or a breakage fee. Transactions that are terminated before completion will sometimes generate breakage fees, which are usually calculated as a set amount or a percentage of the fee we would have received had the transaction closed. Real Estate Brokerage Commissions We earn real estate brokerage commissions by acting as a broker for commercial real estate owners seeking to sell or investors seeking to buy properties. Revenue from real estate brokerage commissions is recognized at the close of escrow. Financing Fees We earn financing fees by securing financing on purchase transactions or by securing refinancing of our clients’ existing mortgage debt. We recognize financing fee revenue at the time the loan closes, and we have no remaining significant obligations in connection with the transaction. To a lesser extent, we also earn fees on loan performance, equity advisory services, loan sales, loan guarantees and ancillary services associated with financing activities. We recognize guarantee fees over the term of the guarantee and other fees when we have no further obligations, generally upon the closing of the transaction. 34 Other Revenue Other revenue includes fees generated from consulting and advisory services, leasing, as well as referral fees from other real estate brokers, and are recognized when services are provided, upon closing of the transaction or when we have no further obligations. Operating Expenses Our operating expenses consist of cost of services, selling, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization. The significant components of our expenses are further described below. Cost of Services The majority of our cost of services expense is variable commissions paid to our investment sales and financing professionals and compensation-related costs related to our financing activities. Commission expenses are directly attributable to providing services to our clients for investment sales and financing services. Most of our investment sales and financing professionals are independent contractors and are paid commissions; however, because there are some who are employees and initially paid a salary, costs of services also include employee-related compensation, employer taxes and benefits for those employees. The commission rates we pay to our investment sales and financing professionals vary based on individual contracts negotiated and are generally higher for the more experienced professionals. Some of our most senior investment sales and financing professionals can also earn additional commissions after meeting certain annual financial thresholds. These additional commissions are recognized as cost of services in the period in which they are earned. Payment of a portion of these additional commissions are generally deferred for a period of three years, at our election, and paid at the end of the third calendar year. Cost of services also includes referral fees paid to other real estate brokers where we are the principal service provider. Cost of services, therefore, can vary based on the commission structure of the investment sales and financing professionals that closed transactions in any particular period. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses The largest expense component within selling, general and administrative expenses is compensation for our management team and sales and support staff, as well as business development, marketing, and expensing of forgivable loans provided to our investment sales and financing professionals over the contractual term of the loan. In addition, these costs include facility costs (excluding depreciation and amortization), sales and events, licenses and subscriptions, legal, information technology, telecommunications, changes in fair value for contingent and deferred consideration and other administrative expenses. Also included in selling, general and administrative are expenses for stock-based compensation to non-employee directors, employees and independent contractors (i.e. investment sales and financing professionals) under the Amended and Restated 2013 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Amended Plan”) and the Amended and Restated 2013 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Amended ESPP”). Depreciation and Amortization Expense Depreciation expense consists of depreciation recorded on our computer software and hardware equipment, as well as our furniture, fixtures and equipment. Depreciation is recognized over estimated useful lives ranging from three to seven years for assets. Amortization expense consists of amortization recorded on intangible assets amortized on a straight-line basis using a useful life between one and seven years. Other Income, Net Other income, net primarily consists of interest income, realized gains and losses on our marketable debt securities, available-for-sale, net gains or losses on our deferred compensation plan assets, foreign currency gains and losses and other non-operating income and expenses. Interest Expense Interest expense primarily consists of interest expense associated with the stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) liability, and our Credit Agreement (as defined herein in Item 2). 35 Provision (benefit) for Income Taxes We are subject to U.S. and Canadian federal taxes and individual state and local taxes based on the income generated in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Our effective tax rate fluctuates as a result of (i) changes in our annual effective tax rate applied to current pre-tax income (loss), (ii) the change in the mix of our activities in the jurisdictions in which we operate due to differing tax rates in those jurisdictions and (iii) the impact of permanent items, including compensation charges, qualified transportation fringe benefits, uncertain tax positions, meals and entertainment and tax-exempt deferred compensation plan assets. Our provision (benefit) for income taxes includes the windfall tax benefits and shortfall tax expenses, net, from shares issued in connection with our Amended Plan and Amended ESPP. We record deferred taxes, net based on the tax rate expected to be in effect at the time those items are expected to be recognized for tax purposes. Results of Operations The following is a discussion of our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. The tables included in the period comparisons below provide summaries of our results of operations. The period-to-period comparisons of financial results are not necessarily indicative of future results. Key Operating Metrics We regularly review a number of key metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions. We also believe these metrics are relevant to investors’ and others’ assessment of our financial condition and results of operations. During the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we closed 2,306 and 2,070 investment sales, financing and other transactions, respectively, with total sales volume of approximately $14.1 billion and $12.3 billion, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we closed 4,328 and 3,776 investment sales, financing and other transactions, respectively, with total sales volume of approximately $26.2 billion and $21.7 billion, respectively.

For a definition of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), which is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measure” below. Revenue Our total revenue was $202.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $172.3 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $30.6 million, or 17.8%. Total revenue primarily increased as a result of increases in real estate brokerage commissions and financing fees, as described below. See the “Factors Affecting Our Business” section for additional market information. Real estate brokerage commissions. Revenue from real estate brokerage commissions increased to $167.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 from $141.4 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $25.6 million, or 18.1%. The increase was primarily attributed to an 18.4% increase in total sales volume as the average commission rate was constant. The Larger Transaction Market revenue increased by 43.2%, and the Private Client Market revenue increased by 13.6%. Financing fees. Revenue from financing fees increased to $30.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 from $26.3 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $4.0 million, or 15.3%. The increase was primarily attributed to a 5.4% increase in the total financing volume and a 10 basis point increase in the average fee rate earned compared to the same period in 2025. Other revenue. Other revenue increased to $5.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 from $4.6 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $1.0 million, or 22.8%. The increase was primarily driven by increases in leasing fees and consulting fees during the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. 37 Total Operating Expenses Our total operating expenses were $200.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $181.3 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $19.4 million, or 10.7%. Cost of services increased by $20.0 million, partially offset by a decrease of $0.8 million in depreciation and amortization expense as described below. Cost of services. Cost of services are variable commissions paid to our investment sales professionals and compensation-related costs in connection with our financing activities. Cost of services increased to $126.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 from $106.6 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $20.0 million, or 18.8%. The increase was primarily due to increased commission expenses driven by the related increased revenue discussed above. Cost of services as a percentage of total revenue increased by 50 basis points to 62.4% compared to the same period in 2025 primarily due to our senior investment sales and financing professionals earning higher commissions in 2026. Selling, general, and administrative expense. Selling, general and administrative expense remained relatively consistent at $71.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $71.6 million for the same period in 2025. Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased to $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 from $3.1 million for the same period in 2025, a decrease of $0.8 million, or 25.5%. The decrease primarily relates to assets that were fully depreciated in 2025 and impairment of certain assets recorded in 2025. Other Income, Net Other income, net decreased to $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 from $5.5 million for the same period in 2025. The $1.3 million decrease is primarily due to a lower average yield on the Company's investments and a change in unrealized foreign currency gains and losses during the period compared to the same period in prior year. Interest Expense Interest expense decreased by an immaterial amount for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, and primarily relates to interest expense on our SARs liability. Provision for Income Taxes The provision for income taxes was $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to a provision for income taxes of $7.3 million for the same period in 2025. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was 37.6%, compared to (194.5)% for the same period in 2025. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was determined using the estimated AETR method, whereas the effective tax rate for the same period in 2025 was determined using the discrete method. The change in method during the period ended June 30, 2025 resulted in effectively reversing a significant portion of the income tax benefit recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2025, thereby distorting the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025. In addition to the different methodologies applied, the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was also impacted by non-deductible items, state income taxes, and shortfall tax expenses, net, related to stock-based compensation.

For a definition of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), which is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measure” below. Revenue Our total revenue was $374.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $317.3 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $57.1 million, or 18.0%. Total revenue primarily increased as a result of increases in real estate brokerage commissions and financing fees, as described below. See the “Factors Affecting Our Business” section for additional market information. Real estate brokerage commissions. Revenue from real estate brokerage commissions increased to $305.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from $265.0 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $40.1 million, or 15.1%. The increase was primarily attributed to an 18.5% increase in total sales volume, partially offset by a five basis point decrease in the average commission rate earned compared to the same period in 2025. The decrease in the average commission rate was primarily driven by a shift in revenue from the Private Client Market to the Larger Transaction Market, which generally earns lower commission rates. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Larger Transaction Market included certain transactions with sales volume exceeding $300 million individually, which more significantly reduced the average commission rate earned. The Larger Transaction Market revenue increased by 34.7%, while the Private Client Market revenue increased by 13.5%. Financing fees. Revenue from financing fees increased to $57.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from $44.4 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $12.7 million, or 28.7%. The increase was primarily attributed to a 25.2% increase in the total financing volume and a five basis point increase in the average fee rate earned compared to the same period in 2025. 39 Other revenue. Other revenue increased to $12.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from $7.9 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $4.3 million, or 54.1%. The increase was primarily driven by increases in leasing fees and consulting fees during the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. Total Operating Expenses Our total operating expenses were $377.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $344.1 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $33.9 million, or 9.8%. Cost of services increased by $35.3 million, partially offset by a decrease of $1.3 million in depreciation and amortization expense as described below. Cost of services. Cost of services are variable commissions paid to our investment sales professionals and compensation-related costs in connection with our financing activities. Cost of services increased to $230.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from $195.0 million for the same period in 2025, an increase of $35.3 million, or 18.1%. The increase was primarily due to increased commission expenses driven by the related increased revenue discussed above. Cost of services as a percentage of total revenue increased by 10 basis points to 61.5% compared to the same period in 2025 primarily due to our senior investment sales and financing professionals earning higher commissions in 2026. Selling, general, and administrative expense. Selling, general and administrative expense remained relatively consistent at $142.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $143.1 million for the same period in 2025. Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased to $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from $6.0 million for the same period in 2025, a decrease of $1.3 million, or 21.0%. The decrease primarily relates to assets that were fully depreciated in 2025 and impairment of certain assets recorded in 2025. Other Income, Net Other income, net decreased to $8.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from $9.5 million for the same period in 2025. The $1.5 million decrease primarily relates to a lower average yield on the Company's investments and a change in unrealized foreign currency gains and losses during the period compared to the same period in prior year. Interest Expense Interest expense decreased by an immaterial amount for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, and primarily relates to interest expense on our SARs liability. Provision (benefit) for Income Taxes The provision for income taxes was $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to a benefit for income taxes of $2.2 million for the same period in 2025. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was 80.3% compared to 12.5% for the same period in 2025. The increase in the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily reflects the use of the estimated AETR methodology in 2026, compared to the discrete method in 2025. In addition, the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was impacted by non-deductible items, state income taxes, and shortfall tax expenses, net, related to stock-based compensation. Refer to Note 10 – “Income Taxes” of our accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. Non-GAAP Financial Measure In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we include a non-GAAP financial measure, Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA 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. We use Adjusted EBITDA in our business operations to evaluate the performance of our business, develop budgets and measure our performance against those budgets, among other things. We also believe that analysts and investors use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to evaluate our 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 our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. We find Adjusted EBITDA to be a 40 useful management metric to assist in evaluating performance, because Adjusted EBITDA eliminates items related to capital structure, taxes and non-cash items. In light of the foregoing limitations, we do not rely solely on Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure and also consider our U.S. GAAP results. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of our financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), operating income (loss) or any other measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated in the same manner by all companies, it may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, net income (loss), to Adjusted EBITDA is as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 2026 2025 Net income (loss) $ 3,909 $ (11,035) $ 809 $ (15,457) Adjustments: Interest income and other (1) (3,410) (4,373) (7,462) (8,411) Interest expense 140 200 293 387 Provision (benefit) for income taxes 2,356 7,288 3,290 (2,209) Depreciation and amortization 2,348 3,153 4,739 6,002 Stock-based compensation 6,780 6,223 13,396 12,402 Adjusted EBITDA $ 12,123 $ 1,456 $ 15,065 $ (7,286) (1)Other includes net realized gains (losses) on marketable debt securities, available-for-sale. Liquidity and Capital Resources Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, marketable debt securities, available-for-sale and, if necessary, borrowings under the Credit Agreement (as defined herein in Item 2). We have invested a portion of our cash in money market funds and fixed and variable income debt securities, in accordance with our investment policy approved by the Board of Directors. Certain of our investments in money market funds may not maintain a stable net asset value and may impose a discretionary liquidity fee. To date, we have not experienced any restrictions on our ability to redeem funds from money market funds. Although we have historically funded our operations through operating cash flows, there can be no assurance that we can continue to meet our cash requirements entirely through our operations, cash and cash equivalents, proceeds from the sale of marketable debt securities, available-for-sale or availability under the Credit Agreement. Cash Flows Our total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash balance decreased by $8.4 million to $153.5 million at June 30, 2026, compared to $161.9 million at December 31, 2025. The following table sets forth our summary cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands): Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 2025 Net cash used in operating activities $ (5,393) $ (31,821) Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities 38,504 (10,076) Net cash used in financing activities (41,278) (25,858) Effect of currency exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash (238) 264 Net decrease in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash (8,405) (67,491) Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash at beginning of period 161,921 153,445 Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash at end of period $ 153,516 $ 85,954 Operating Activities Cash flows used in operating activities were $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $31.8 million for the same period in 2025. The $26.4 million decrease in cash flows used in operating activities for the six 41 months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was primarily due to a reduction in net losses of $16.3 million, as discussed above and a $15.3 million decrease in change in deferred compensation and commissions in the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. The cash flows used in operating activities were also affected by the timing of certain cash receipts and payments. Investing Activities Cash flows provided by investing activities were $38.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to cash flows used in investing activities of $10.1 million for the same period in 2025. The $48.6 million increase in cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 was primarily due to an increase in net proceeds of $49.2 million from sales, purchases, and maturities of securities. Financing Activities Cash flows used in financing activities were $41.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $25.9 million for the same period in 2025. The $15.4 million increase in cash flows used in financing activities is primarily due to the $18.1 million increase in cash paid for stock repurchases in the 2026 period compared to the same period in 2025. Liquidity We believe that our existing balances of cash and cash equivalents, cash flows expected to be generated from our operations, and proceeds from the sale of marketable debt securities, available-for-sale will be sufficient to satisfy our operating requirements for at least the next 12 months and beyond. If we need to raise additional capital through public or private debt or equity financings, strategic relationships or other arrangements, this capital might not be available to us in a timely manner, on acceptable terms, or at all. Our failure to raise sufficient capital when needed could prevent us from funding acquisitions or otherwise financing our growth or operations. As of June 30, 2026, cash (excluding restricted cash), cash equivalents, and marketable debt securities, available-for-sale, aggregated $343.5 million. Credit Agreement We have a credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) which provides for a $10 million principal amount senior secured revolving credit facility that is guaranteed by all of our domestic subsidiaries and matures on June 1, 2027. As of June 30, 2026, there were no amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement. We monitor covenant compliance on a regular basis to ensure continued compliance with the Credit Agreement. Our ability to borrow under the Credit Agreement is limited by our ability to comply with its covenants or obtain necessary waivers. See Note 13 – “Commitments and Contingencies” of our accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the Credit Agreement. Off Balance Sheet Arrangements The Company, in connection with the Strategic Alliance with M&T Realty Capital Corporation (“MTRCC”), has agreed to provide loan opportunities that may be funded through MTRCC’s agreement with Fannie Mae, which requires MTRCC to guarantee a portion of each funded loan. On a loan-by-loan basis, the Company, at its option, can assume a portion of MTRCC’s guarantee obligation to Fannie Mae of loan opportunities presented to and closed by MTRCC. As of June 30, 2026, the Company has agreed to a maximum aggregate guarantee obligation of $489.8 million relating to loans with an unpaid balance of $2,993.0 million. The maximum guarantee obligation is not representative of the actual loss we would incur. The Company would be liable for this amount only if all of the loans for which it is providing a guarantee to MTRCC were to default and all of the collateral underlying these loans was determined to be without value at the time of settlement. The Company has recorded an allowance for losses of $194,000 as of June 30, 2026 related to these guarantee obligations. The Company is required to provide cash collateral to MTRCC for this obligation and this is reflected as $1.8 million of restricted cash as of June 30, 2026, which is included in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Material Cash Requirements There have been no material changes in our commitments under contractual obligations, as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 through the date on which the condensed consolidated 42 financial statements were issued, other than for the payment of $9.5 million on April 3, 2026 of a semi-annual regular dividend of $0.25 per share on outstanding common stock declared by our Board of Directors on February 10, 2026. Inflation Our commissions and other variable costs related to revenue are primarily affected by real estate market supply and demand, which may be affected by uncertain or changing economic and market conditions, including inflation/deflation arising in connection with and in response to various macroeconomic factors and impact of increased interest rates on the broader economy. The annual CPI inflation rate in the U.S. peaked at 9.1% in June 2022, the highest annual inflation rate since November 1981. CPI inflation fell to 2.4% as of March 2025 and ended 2025 at 2.7%. In May 2026, largely due to the surge in oil and gas prices caused by the Middle East conflict, inflation increased to 4.2% before retreating to 3.5% in June as the cease fire allowed increased crude oil to navigate the Strait of Hormuz, in turn lowering energy costs. Although tariffs will likely play a role in the inflation outlook, the greater inflation risks largely center on the duration of the Middle East conflict and the amount of damage done to infrastructure. The uncertainty surrounding these variables has increased expectations of rate increases by the Federal Reserve this year. Looking forward, inflation could rise as the impact of tariffs flow through to consumers and if the Middle East conflict and closure of the Strait of Hormuz continues for an extended period. The change of leadership at the Federal Reserve is another variable that could potentially alter the inflation and interest rate outlook. At this time, these variables remain opaque, clouding the inflation and interest rate outlook. Critical Accounting Estimates We prepare our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In applying many of these accounting principles, we make assumptions, estimates and/or judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. These assumptions, estimates and/or judgments, however, are often subjective and our actual results may change based on changing circumstances or changes in our analyses. If actual amounts are ultimately different from our estimates, the revisions are included in our results of operations for the period in which the actual amounts become known. There were no significant changes in our critical accounting policies, as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on February 26, 2026.
