Brad Kreiger • 11/5/2019

  • Net income for the third quarter of 2019 was $11.7 million, an improvement of $53.1 million over third quarter of 2018 with earnings per share of $0.05. Adjusted earnings per share was $0.37.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $168.5 million, down 6% (5% local currency) from third quarter of 2018. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 10.9% was down 100 bps.
  • Year-to-date Revenue through the third quarter of 2019 was $6.1 billion, up 6% (8% local currency) year-over-year. Fee revenue was $4.5 billion, up 7% (9% local currency).
  • Year-to-date Net loss through the third quarter of 2019 was $2.9 million, an improvement of $164.9 million over third quarter of 2018 with loss per share of $0.01. Adjusted earnings per share was $0.87.
  • Year-to-date Adjusted EBITDA was $431.4 million through the third quarter of 2019, up 2% (3% local currency) year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 9.6% was down 50 bps.

“We continue to execute on our strategy and we have generated solid momentum as evidenced by our strong revenue growth,” said Brett White, Executive Chairman & CEO. “We are confirming our Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $685 to $735 millionii.”

 i In order to assist our investors and improve comparability of results, we present the period-over-period changes in certain of our financial measures, such as Fee revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, in "local" currency. The local currency change represents the period-over-period change assuming no movement in foreign exchange rates from the prior period. We believe that this presentation provides our management and investors with a better view of comparability and trends in the underlying operating business.

ii 2019 Outlook: Cushman & Wakefield provides guidance on a non-GAAP basis, as the Company cannot predict some elements that are included in reported GAAP results, including the impact of foreign exchange. Refer to the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures section for a more detailed discussion of non-GAAP financial measures. The Company has not reconciled the Adjusted EBITDA forward-looking guidance included in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because this cannot be done without unreasonable effort due to the variability and low visibility with respect to costs related to integration and other costs related to merger, share-based compensation and acquisitions related costs and other efficiency initiatives, which are potential adjustments to future earnings. We expect the variability of these items to have a potentially unpredictable, and a potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.
