NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of CBRE Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (which may be referred to in these financial statements as the “company”, “we”, “us” and “our”), have been prepared in accordance with the rules applicable to Form 10-Q and include all information and footnotes required for interim financial statement presentation, but do not include all disclosures required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments, except as otherwise noted) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Such estimates include the value of real estate assets, accounts receivable, investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries and assumptions used in the calculation of income taxes, retirement and other post-employment benefits, among others. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including consideration of the current economic environment, and adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in these estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods.

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012. The consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, which contains the latest available audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, which are as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011.

2. New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-10, “Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Derecognition of in Substance Real Estate – a Scope Clarification.” This ASU requires that a reporting entity that ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary that is in substance real estate as a result of default on the subsidiary’s nonrecourse debt would apply FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Subtopic 360-20, “Property, Plant, and Equipment – Real Estate Sales,” to determine whether to derecognize assets and liabilities of that subsidiary. ASU 2011-10 is effective prospectively for a deconsolidation event that takes place in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2012. We do not believe the adoption of this update will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” This ASU adds certain additional disclosure requirements about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are subject to netting arrangements. ASU 2011-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after January 1, 2013, with retrospective application required. We do not believe the adoption of this update will have a material impact on the disclosure requirements for our consolidated financial statements.

3. REIM Acquisitions

We secured borrowings of $800.0 million of term loans to finance the REIM Acquisitions (see Note 10). Of this amount, $400.0 million was drawn on June 30, 2011 to finance the CRES portion of the REIM Acquisitions, which closed on July 1, 2011. On August 31, 2011, we drew down the remaining $400.0 million, part of which was used to finance the ING REIM Asia portion of the REIM Acquisitions, which closed on October 3, 2011, and the remainder, along with cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility, was used to finance the ING REIM Europe portion of the REIM Acquisitions, which closed on October 31, 2011.

Our initial estimate of $940 million in total purchase price for the REIM Acquisitions has been reduced by approximately $47 million for certain fund and separate account management contracts that were not acquired and for certain balance sheet adjustments. As of September 30, 2012, there is a possibility of an additional closing of approximately $80 million and further co-investments of up to $20 million in the future related to our acquisition of ING REIM Europe.

In connection with our acquisition of CRES, we acquired CRES co-investments from ING in three funds (CRES Funds) for an aggregate purchase price of $58.6 million, which has been included above. We determined that the CRES Funds were not variable interest entities and accordingly determined the method of accounting based upon voting control. The limited partners/members of the CRES Funds lack substantive rights that would overcome our presumption of control. Accordingly, we began consolidating the CRES Funds as of the acquisition date of July 1, 2011. Included in the consolidation of the CRES Funds on July 1, 2011 was $182.9 million of non-controlling interests. In connection with the REIM Acquisitions, we also acquired three ING REIM Asia co-investments from ING for an aggregate amount of $13.9 million on October 3, 2011 and several ING REIM Europe co-investments, including one for $7.4 million on October 31, 2011, and nine additional co-investments for an aggregate amount of $35.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

In January 2012, one of the CRES Funds (CBRE Clarion U.S., L.P.) was converted to a registered mutual fund, the CBRE Clarion Long/Short Fund (the Fund). As a result of this triggering event, we determined that the

Fund became a variable interest entity and that we were not the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, in the first quarter of 2012, the Fund was deconsolidated from our consolidated financial statements and we recorded an investment in available for sale securities of $14.3 million. No gain or loss was recognized in our consolidated statement of operations as a result of this deconsolidation. We continue to act as the Fund’s adviser, make investment decisions for the Fund and review, supervise and administer the Fund’s investment program.

The purchase accounting for the CRES and ING REIM Asia portions of the REIM Acquisitions has been finalized. The preliminary purchase accounting adjustments related to the ING REIM Europe portion of the REIM Acquisitions has been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired has been recorded to goodwill. The purchase price allocation is expected to be completed as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

Unaudited pro forma results, assuming the REIM Acquisitions had occurred as of January 1, 2011 for purposes of the 2011 pro forma disclosures, are presented below. They include certain adjustments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, including $3.3 million and $16.1 million, respectively, of increased amortization expense as a result of intangible assets acquired in the REIM Acquisitions, $2.5 million and $18.7 million, respectively, of additional interest expense as a result of debt incurred to finance the REIM Acquisitions, the removal of $14.9 million and $27.6 million, respectively, of direct costs incurred by us and ING related to the REIM Acquisitions, and the tax impact of the pro forma adjustments. These unaudited pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of what operating results would have been had the REIM Acquisitions occurred on January 1, 2011 and may not be indicative of future operating results (dollars in thousands, except share data):

4. Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)

A consolidated subsidiary (the Venture) in our Global Investment Management segment has sponsored investments by third-party investors in certain commercial properties through the formation of tenant-in-common limited liability companies and Delaware Statutory Trusts (collectively referred to as the Entities) that are owned by the third-party investors. The Venture also has formed and is a member of a limited liability company for each property that serves as master tenant (Master Tenant). Each Master Tenant leases the property from the Entities through a master lease agreement. Pursuant to the master lease agreements, the Master Tenant has the power to direct the day-to-day asset management activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the Entities. As a result, the Entities were deemed to be VIEs since the third-party investors holding the equity investment at risk in the Entities do not direct the day-to-day activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the properties held by the Entities. The Venture has made and may continue to make voluntary contributions to each of these properties to support their operations beyond the cash flow generated by

CBRE GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(Unaudited)

the properties themselves. As of the most recent reconsideration date, such financial support has been significant enough that the Venture was deemed to be the primary beneficiary of each Entity.

An additional Entity was consolidated during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The related real estate assets held for investment were $26.3 million, nonrecourse mortgage notes payable were $15.8 million and non-controlling interests were $10.6 million as of September 30, 2012.

During both the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Venture funded $0.2 million of financial support to the Entities.

Operating results relating to the Entities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 include the following (dollars in thousands):


	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2012			2011			2012			2011

Net (loss) income attributable to non-controlling interests	$	(887	)	$	(1,914	)	$	(2,904	)	$	11,154

Investments in real estate of $85.7 million and $61.3 million and nonrecourse mortgage notes payable of $77.4 million ($17.1 million of which is current) and $60.9 million ($1.2 million of which is current) are included in real estate held for investment and notes payable on real estate, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. In addition, non-controlling interests of $9.9 million and $1.6 million in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, are attributable to the Entities.

We hold variable interests in certain VIEs in our Global Investment Management and Development Services segments which are not consolidated as it was determined that we are not the primary beneficiary. Our involvement with these entities is in the form of equity co-investments and fee arrangements.

As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, our maximum exposure to loss related to the VIEs which are not consolidated was as follows (dollars in thousands):

5. Fair Value Measurements

The “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” Topic of the FASB ASC (Topic 820) defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Topic 820 also establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

•

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

•

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

There were no significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

The following tables present the fair value of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 (dollars in thousands):

Total liabilities at fair value	$	98,810	$	39,872	$	—	$	138,682

Fair value measurements for our available for sale securities are obtained from independent pricing services which utilize observable market data that may include quoted market prices, dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. treasury yield curve, trading levels, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the instrument’s terms and conditions.

The trading securities and securities sold, not yet purchased are primarily in the United States (U.S.) and are generally valued at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation or, if no sales occurred on the valuation date, at the mean of the bid and asked prices on such date.

The fair values of the warehouse receivables are calculated based on already locked in security buy prices. At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, all of the warehouse receivables included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets were either under commitment to be purchased by Freddie Mac or had confirmed forward trade commitments for the issuance and purchase of Fannie Mae mortgage backed securities that will be secured by the underlying warehouse lines of credit. These assets are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as all inputs are readily observable.

The valuation of interest rate swaps is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate forward curves. To comply with the provisions of Topic 820, we incorporate

(Unaudited)

credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees. In conjunction with our adoption of ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs,” we made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of our derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio. Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties. However, as of September 30, 2012, we have determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives. As a result, we have determined that our derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

The following non-recurring fair value measurements were recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 (dollars in thousands):


	Net Carrying Value as of September 30, 2012		Fair Value Measured and Recorded Using						Total Impairment Charges for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012

Total impairment charges									$	6,226

Other Intangible Assets

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded a non-amortizable intangible asset impairment of $19.8 million in our EMEA segment. This non-cash write-off related to the discontinuation of the use of a trade name in the United Kingdom (U.K.).

Investments in Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded write-downs of $4.6 million, of which $4.5 million was reported in our Global Investment Management segment and $0.1 million was reported in our Development Services segment. These write-downs were primarily driven by a decrease in the estimated holding period of certain assets.

All of our impairment charges related to investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries were included in equity income from unconsolidated subsidiaries in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. When we

performed our impairment analysis, the assumptions utilized reflected our outlook for the commercial real estate industry and the expected impact on our business. This outlook incorporated our belief that market conditions deteriorated and that these challenging conditions could persist for some time.

Real Estate

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded a $1.3 million provision for losses on real estate held for sale. This charge reduced the carrying value of certain assets to their fair value, less cost to sell, primarily due to reduced expected selling prices resulting from continued challenging market conditions. In addition, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded an impairment charge of $0.3 million related to real estate held for investment, the majority of which was attributable to non-controlling interests. This investment write-down was attributable to slower than expected leasing.

All of our impairment charges related to real estate were included in operating, administrative and other expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations within our Development Services segment. If conditions in the broader economy, commercial real estate industry, specific markets or product types in which we operate worsen, we may be required to evaluate additional projects or re-evaluate previously impaired projects for potential impairment. These evaluations could result in additional impairment charges, which may be material.

FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments” requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Our financial instruments, excluding those included in the preceding fair value tables above, are as follows:

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash: These balances include cash and cash equivalents as well as restricted cash with maturities of less than three months. The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

Receivables, less Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: Due to their short-term nature, fair value approximates carrying value.

Short-Term Borrowings: The majority of this balance represents our revolving credit facility and our warehouse lines of credit outstanding for CBRE Capital Markets. Due to the short-term nature and variable interest rates of these instruments, fair value approximates carrying value.

Senior Secured Term Loans: Based upon information from third-party banks (which falls within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy), the estimated fair value of our senior secured term loans was approximately $1.6 billion at September 30, 2012, which approximates their carrying value at September 30, 2012 (see Note 10).

11.625% Senior Subordinated Notes: Based on dealers’ quotes (which falls within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy), the estimated fair value of our 11.625% senior subordinated notes was $495.1 million at September 30, 2012. Their actual carrying value totaled $440.1 million at September 30, 2012.

6.625% Senior Notes: Based on dealers’ quotes (which falls within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy), the estimated fair value of our 6.625% senior notes was $383.3 million at September 30, 2012. Their actual carrying value totaled $350.0 million at September 30, 2012.

CBRE GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(Unaudited)

Notes Payable on Real Estate: As of September 30, 2012, the carrying value of our notes payable on real estate was $365.6 million (see Note 9). These borrowings mostly have floating interest rates at spreads over a market rate index. It is likely that some portion of our notes payable on real estate have fair values lower than actual carrying values. Given our volume of notes payable and the cost involved in estimating their fair value, we determined it was not practicable to do so. Additionally, only $13.6 million of these notes payable are recourse to us as of September 30, 2012.

10. Debt

Since 2001, we have maintained credit facilities with Credit Suisse Group AG (CS) and other lenders to fund strategic acquisitions and to provide for our working capital needs. On November 10, 2010, we entered into a new credit agreement (as amended, the Credit Agreement) with a syndicate of banks led by CS, as administrative and collateral agent, to completely refinance our previous credit facilities. On March 4, 2011, we entered into an amendment to our Credit Agreement to, among other things, increase flexibility to various covenants to accommodate the REIM Acquisitions and to maintain the availability of the $800.0 million incremental facility under the Credit Agreement. On March 4, 2011, we also entered into an incremental assumption agreement to allow for the establishment of new tranche C and tranche D term loan facilities. On November 10, 2011, we entered into an incremental assumption agreement led jointly by HSBC Bank USA, N.A. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC to allow for the establishment of a new tranche A-1 term loan facility, which also reduced the $800.0 million incremental facility under the Credit Agreement.

As of September 30, 2012, our Credit Agreement provides for the following: (1) a $700.0 million revolving credit facility, including revolving credit loans, letters of credit and a swingline loan facility, maturing on May 10, 2015; (2) a $350.0 million tranche A term loan facility requiring quarterly principal payments, which began on December 31, 2010 and continue through September 30, 2015, with the balance payable on November 10, 2015; (3) a £187.0 million (approximately $300.0 million) tranche A-1 term loan facility requiring quarterly principal payments, which began on December 30, 2011 and continue through March 31, 2016, with the balance payable on May 10, 2016; (4) a $300.0 million tranche B term loan facility requiring quarterly principal payments, which began on December 31, 2010 and continue through September 30, 2016, with the balance payable on November 10, 2016; (5) a $400.0 million tranche C term loan facility requiring quarterly principal payments, which began on September 30, 2011 and continue through December 31, 2017, with the balance payable on March 4, 2018; (6) a $400.0 million tranche D term loan facility requiring quarterly principal payments, which began on September 30, 2011 and continue through June 30, 2019, with the balance payable on September 4, 2019 and (7) an accordion provision which provides the ability to borrow additional funds under an incremental facility. The incremental facility is equivalent to the sum of $800.0 million and the aggregate amount of all repayments of term loans and permanent reductions of revolver commitments under the Credit Agreement. However, at no time may the sum of all outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement exceed $2.95 billion. On November 10, 2011, we utilized the incremental facility to issue the tranche A-1 term loan facility.

In regards to the tranche C and tranche D term loan facilities, we had up to 180 days from the date we entered into the related incremental assumption agreement to draw on these facilities during which period we were required to pay a fee on the unused portions of each facility. On June 30, 2011, we drew down $400.0 million of the tranche D term loan facility to finance the CRES portion of the REIM Acquisitions, which closed on July 1, 2011. On August 31, 2011, we drew down $400.0 million of the tranche C term loan facility, part of which was used to finance the ING REIM Asia portion of the REIM Acquisitions, which closed on October 3, 2011. The remaining borrowings were used to finance the acquisition of ING REIM’s operations in Europe, which closed on October 31, 2011.

The revolving credit facility allows for borrowings outside of the U.S., with sub-facilities of $5.0 million available to one of our Canadian subsidiaries, $35.0 million in aggregate available to one of our Australian and one of our New Zealand subsidiaries and $50.0 million available to one of our U.K. subsidiaries. Additionally, outstanding borrowings under these sub-facilities may be up to 5.0% higher as allowed under the currency fluctuation provision in the Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2012 bear interest at varying rates, based at our option, on either the applicable fixed rate plus 1.65% to 3.15% or the daily rate plus 0.65% to 2.15% as determined by reference to our ratio of total debt less available cash to EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement). As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had $72.7 million and $44.8 million, respectively, of revolving credit facility principal outstanding with related weighted average interest rates of 3.3% and 4.3%, respectively, which are included in short-term borrowings in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2012, letters of credit totaling $17.3 million were outstanding under the revolving credit facility. These letters of credit were primarily issued in the normal course of business as well as in connection with certain insurance programs and reduce the amount we may borrow under the revolving credit facility.

Borrowings under the term loan facilities as of September 30, 2012 bear interest, based at our option, on the following: for the tranche A and A-1 term loan facilities, on either the applicable fixed rate plus 2.00% to 3.75% or the daily rate plus 1.00% to 2.75%, as determined by reference to our ratio of total debt less available cash to EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement), for the tranche B term loan facility, on either the applicable fixed rate plus 3.25% or the daily rate plus 2.25%, for the tranche C term loan facility, on either the applicable fixed rate plus 3.25% or the daily rate plus 2.25% and for the tranche D term loan facility, on either the applicable fixed rate plus 3.50% or the daily rate plus 2.50%. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had $280.0 million and $306.3 million, respectively, of tranche A term loan facility principal outstanding, $279.3 million and $285.1 million, respectively, of tranche A-1 term loan facility principal outstanding, $294.0 million and $296.3 million, respectively, of tranche B term loan facility principal outstanding, $395.0 million and $398.0 million, respectively, of tranche C term loan facility principal outstanding and $395.0 million and $398.0 million, respectively, of tranche D term loan facility principal outstanding, which are included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

In March 2011, we entered into five interest rate swap agreements, all with effective dates in October 2011, and immediately designated them as cash flow hedges in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” The purpose of these interest rate swap agreements is to hedge potential changes to our cash flows due to the variable interest nature of our senior secured term loan facilities. The total notional amount of these interest rate swap agreements is $400.0 million, with $200.0 million expiring in October 2017 and $200.0 million expiring in September 2019. There was no hedge ineffectiveness for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. We recorded net losses of $3.2 million and $10.3 million, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and $27.5 million and $39.1 million, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 to other comprehensive loss in relation to these interest rate

swap agreements. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the fair values of these interest rate swap agreements were reflected as a $50.2 million liability and a $39.9 million liability, respectively, and were included in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The Credit Agreement is jointly and severally guaranteed by us and substantially all of our domestic subsidiaries. Borrowings under our Credit Agreement are secured by a pledge of substantially all of the capital stock of our U.S. subsidiaries and 65.0% of the capital stock of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries. Also, the Credit Agreement requires us to pay a fee based on the total amount of the revolving credit facility commitment.

Our Credit Agreement and the indentures governing our 6.625% senior notes and 11.625% senior subordinated notes contain numerous restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make distributions to stockholders, repurchase capital stock or debt, make investments, sell assets or subsidiary stock, create or permit liens on assets, engage in transactions with affiliates, enter into sale/leaseback transactions, issue subsidiary equity and enter into consolidations or mergers. Our Credit Agreement also currently requires us to maintain a minimum coverage ratio of EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to total interest expense of 2.25x and a maximum leverage ratio of total debt less available cash to EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of 3.75x. Our coverage ratio of EBITDA to total interest expense was 10.19x for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2012 and our leverage ratio of total debt less available cash to EBITDA was 1.74x as of September 30, 2012.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

We are a party to a number of pending or threatened lawsuits arising out of, or incident to, our ordinary course of business. Our management believes that any losses in excess of the amounts accrued arising from such lawsuits are remote, but that litigation is inherently uncertain and there is the potential for a material adverse effect on our financial statements if one or more matters are resolved in a particular period in an amount in excess of that anticipated by management.

We had outstanding letters of credit totaling $16.9 million as of September 30, 2012, excluding letters of credit for which we have outstanding liabilities already accrued on our consolidated balance sheet related to our subsidiaries’ outstanding reserves for claims under certain insurance programs as well as letters of credit related to operating leases. These letters of credit are primarily executed by us in the ordinary course of business and expire at varying dates through July 2013.

We had guarantees totaling $32.4 million as of September 30, 2012, excluding guarantees related to pension liabilities, consolidated indebtedness and other obligations for which we have outstanding liabilities already accrued on our consolidated balance sheet, and operating leases. The $32.4 million primarily consists of guarantees related to our defined benefit pension plans in the U.K. (in excess of our outstanding pension liability of $61.8 million as of September 30, 2012), which are continuous guarantees that will not expire until all amounts have been paid out for our pension liabilities. The remainder of the guarantees mainly represents guarantees of obligations of unconsolidated subsidiaries, which expire at varying dates through September 2015, as well as various guarantees of management contracts in our operations overseas, which expire at the end of each of the respective agreements.

timeframe and/or within a specified budget, with us potentially being liable for costs to complete in excess of such timeframe or budget. However, we generally have “guaranteed maximum price” contracts with reputable general contractors with respect to projects for which we provide these guarantees. These contracts are intended to pass the risk to such contractors. While there can be no assurance, we do not expect to incur any material losses under these guarantees.

In January 2008, CBRE Multifamily Capital, Inc. (CBRE MCI), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CBRE Capital Markets, Inc., entered into an agreement with Fannie Mae, under Fannie Mae’s DUS Lender Program (DUS Program), to provide financing for multifamily housing with five or more units. Under the DUS Program, CBRE MCI originates, underwrites, closes and services loans without prior approval by Fannie Mae, and in selected cases, is subject to sharing up to one-third of any losses on loans originated under the DUS Program. CBRE MCI has funded loans subject to such loss sharing arrangements with unpaid principal balances of $4.9 billion at September 30, 2012. Additionally, CBRE MCI has funded loans under the DUS Program that are not subject to loss sharing arrangements with unpaid principal balances of approximately $544.2 million at September 30, 2012. CBRE MCI, under its agreement with Fannie Mae, must post cash reserves under formulas established by Fannie Mae to provide for sufficient capital in the event losses occur. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, CBRE MCI had $7.5 million and $4.6 million, respectively, of cash deposited under this reserve arrangement, and had provided approximately $9.2 million and $6.4 million, respectively, of loan loss accruals. Fannie Mae’s recourse under the DUS Program is limited to the assets of CBRE MCI, which totaled approximately $299.7 million (including $203.6 million of warehouse receivables, a substantial majority of which are pledged against warehouse lines of credit and are therefore not available to Fannie Mae) at September 30, 2012.

Additionally, an important part of our Development Services business strategy is to invest in unconsolidated real estate subsidiaries as a principal (in most cases co-investing with our clients). As of September 30, 2012, we had committed to fund $15.5 million of additional capital to these unconsolidated subsidiaries.

13. Pensions

We have two contributory defined benefit pension plans in the U.K., which we acquired in connection with previous acquisitions. Our subsidiaries based in the U.K. maintain the plans to provide retirement benefits to existing and former employees participating in these plans. During 2007, we reached agreements with the active members of these plans to freeze future pension plan benefits. In return, the active members became eligible to enroll in the CBRE Group Personal Pension Plan, a defined contribution plan in the U.K.

EBITDA represents earnings before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Our management believes EBITDA is useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry because the calculation of EBITDA generally eliminates the effects of financing and income taxes and the accounting effects of capital spending and acquisitions, which would include impairment charges of goodwill and intangibles created from acquisitions. Such items may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. As a result, our management uses EBITDA as a measure to evaluate the operating performance of our various business segments and for other discretionary purposes, including as a significant component when measuring our operating performance under our employee incentive programs. Additionally, we believe EBITDA is useful to investors to assist them in getting a more complete picture of our results from operations.

However, EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under GAAP and when analyzing our operating performance, readers should use EBITDA in addition to, and not as an alternative for, net income as determined in accordance with GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Furthermore, EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for our management’s discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as tax and debt service payments. The amounts shown for EBITDA also differ from the amounts calculated under similarly titled definitions in our debt instruments, which are further adjusted to reflect certain other cash and non-cash charges and are used to determine compliance with financial covenants and our ability to engage in certain activities, such as incurring additional debt and making certain restricted payments.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for CBRE Group, Inc. for the three months ended September 30, 2012 represents an update to the more detailed and comprehensive disclosures included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. Accordingly, you should read the following discussion in conjunction with the information included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as the unaudited financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

In addition, some of the statements and assumptions in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 or Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, each as amended, including, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies and prospects as well as estimates of industry growth for the third quarter and beyond. For important information regarding these forward-looking statements, please see the discussion below under the caption “Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements.”

Overview

We are the world’s largest commercial real estate services firm, based on 2011 revenue, with leading full-service operations in major metropolitan areas throughout the world. We offer a full range of services to occupiers, owners, lenders and investors in office, retail, industrial, multifamily and other types of commercial real estate. As of December 31, 2011, we operated more than 300 offices worldwide, excluding affiliate offices, with approximately 34,000 employees providing commercial real estate services under the “CBRE” brand name, investment management services under the “CBRE Global Investors” brand name and development services under the “Trammell Crow” brand name. Our business is focused on several competencies, including commercial property and corporate facilities management, occupier and property/agency leasing, property sales, valuation, real estate investment management, commercial mortgage origination and servicing, capital markets (equity and debt) solutions, development services and proprietary research. We generate revenue from management fees on a contractual and per-project basis, and from commissions on transactions. We have been the only commercial real estate services company in the S&P 500 since 2006, and in the Fortune 500 since 2008. In 2012, for the second year in a row, we were the highest ranked commercial real estate services company among the Fortune Most Admired Companies, and were also named the Global Real Estate Advisor of the Year by Euromoney. Additionally, the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals has included us among the top 100 global outsourcing companies across all industries for six consecutive years, including 2012 when we ranked fourth overall and were the highest ranked commercial real estate services company. In 2011, we achieved the highest brand reputation ranking among all commercial real estate companies in a survey of Wall Street Journal subscribers.

When you read our financial statements and the information included in this Quarterly Report, you should consider that we have experienced, and continue to experience, several material trends and uncertainties that have affected our financial condition and results of operations that make it challenging to predict our future performance based on our historical results. We believe that the following material trends and uncertainties are crucial to an understanding of the variability in our historical earnings and cash flows and the potential for continued variability in the future:

Macroeconomic Conditions

Economic trends and government policies affect global and regional commercial real estate markets as well as our operations directly. These include: overall economic activity and employment growth, interest rate levels, the cost and availability of credit and the impact of tax and regulatory policies. Periods of economic weakness or recession, significantly rising interest rates, declining employment levels, decreasing demand for real estate, falling real estate values, or the public perception that any of these events may occur, will negatively affect the performance of some or all of our business lines. From late 2007 through 2009, the severe global economic

downturn and credit market crisis had significant adverse effects on our operations and reduced our revenue from property management fees and commissions derived from property sales, leasing, valuation and financing, and funds available to invest in commercial real estate and related assets. These negative trends began to reverse in 2010 and 2011 as commercial real estate markets improved in step with the stabilization and recovery of global economic activity.

Weak economic conditions from late 2007 through 2009 also affected our compensation expense, which is structured to generally decrease in line with a fall in revenue. Compensation is our largest expense and the sales and leasing professionals in our largest line of business, advisory services, generally are paid on a commission and bonus basis that correlates with our revenue performance. As a result, the negative effect of difficult market conditions on our operating margins was partially mitigated by the inherent variability of our compensation cost structure. In addition, when negative economic conditions are particularly severe, as they were in 2008 and 2009, we have moved decisively to improve financial performance by lowering operating expenses. As general economic conditions and our financial performance improved, we restored certain expenses beginning in 2010. Notwithstanding the ongoing market recovery, a return of adverse global and regional economic trends remains one of the most significant risks to the performance of our operations and our financial condition.

Economic conditions first began to negatively affect our performance in the Americas, our largest segment in terms of revenue, beginning in the third quarter of 2007. The effects became more severe as the decline in economic activity (particularly in the United States) accelerated throughout 2008 and most of 2009. The global capital markets disruption in late 2008, in particular, caused a significant and prolonged decline in property sales, leasing, financing and investment activity that adversely affected all our business lines. Commercial real estate fundamentals began to stabilize in early 2010 and to improve later that year and in 2011 following a return to positive economic growth in the United States. The recovery has continued at a slow pace in 2012, with vacancy rates dipping moderately and rental rates stabilizing or edging up slightly. While the ready availability of low-cost credit has sustained property sales activity, U.S. political and fiscal uncertainty has caused investors and occupiers to become more cautious and constrained both sales and leasing activity. Overall market activity continues to be well below levels experienced in 2006 and 2007.

In Europe, weakened market conditions first began to manifest in the United Kingdom in late 2007 and in countries on the continent in early 2008. The major European economies also fell into recession in 2008, which deepened and persisted throughout 2009. Economic activity improved in 2010, but began to wane again in 2011 and 2012, due to the effects of the European sovereign debt crisis. As a result, since 2011, economic growth in Europe has lagged behind other parts of the world. While rents have essentially remained flat, leasing velocity has slowed in many major markets in Europe. Investment sales in Europe were adversely affected by the financial crisis in late 2008 and most of 2009. Investment sales recovered in Europe in 2010, particularly in larger markets. However, activity across most of Europe peaked in 2011 and, as a result of the ongoing European sovereign debt crisis, has been weak in 2012, with markets perceived as safe havens, such as the United Kingdom, attracting investment capital.

Real estate markets in Asia Pacific were also affected, though generally to a lesser degree than in the United States and Europe, by the global credit market dislocation and economic downturn. This resulted in lower investment sales and leasing activity in the region in 2008 and most of 2009. Transaction activity revived significantly in late 2009, reflecting strong economic growth, and improved through 2010 and most of 2011. However, transaction activity moderated in the later part of 2011 and in 2012, reflecting slower domestic economic activity, particularly in China, and the effects of heightened global economic uncertainty stemming from the European sovereign debt crisis and sluggish U.S. growth, both of which have adversely affected Asian exports.

Real estate investment management and property development activity were also adversely affected by deteriorating conditions beginning in late 2007, as property values declined sharply, and both financing and disposition options became more constrained. However, the macro environment for these businesses has generally improved as the real estate credit and investment sales markets have recovered since late 2010.

The further recovery of our global sales, leasing, investment management and development services operations depends on continued improvement in market fundamentals, including more robust economic growth and stronger job creation; stable and healthy global credit markets; and increased business and investor confidence.

Effects of Acquisitions

Our management historically has made significant use of strategic acquisitions to add new service competencies, to increase our scale within existing competencies and to expand our presence in various geographic regions around the world. In December 2006, we acquired the Trammell Crow Company (the Trammell Crow Company Acquisition), our largest acquisition to date, which deepened our outsourcing services offerings for corporate and institutional clients, especially project and facilities management, strengthened our ability to provide integrated management solutions across geographies, and established resources and expertise to offer real estate development services throughout the United States.

On February 15, 2011, we announced that we had entered into definitive agreements to acquire the majority of the real estate investment management business of Netherlands-based ING Group N.V. (ING) for approximately $940 million in cash. The acquisitions included substantially all of ING’s Real Estate Investment Management (REIM) operations in Europe and Asia, as well as substantially all of Clarion Real Estate Securities (CRES), its U.S.-based global real estate listed securities business (collectively referred to as ING REIM). On February 15, 2011, we also announced that we expected to acquire approximately $55 million of CRES co-investments from ING and potentially additional interests in other funds managed by ING REIM Europe and ING REIM Asia. Upon completion of the acquisitions, which we refer to as the REIM Acquisitions, ING REIM became part of our Global Investment Management segment (which conducts business through our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, CBRE Global Investors, an independently operated business segment). The ING REIM businesses were highly complementary to our existing investment management business, with little overlap in client base and different investment strategies. CBRE Global Investors traditionally focused on value-add funds and separate accounts. ING REIM primarily focused on core funds and global listed real estate securities funds, except in Asia, where ING REIM managed value-add and opportunistic funds. The combined entity provides us with a significantly enhanced ability to meet the needs of institutional investors across global markets with a full spectrum of investment programs and strategies.

On July 1, 2011, we completed the acquisition of CRES for $332.9 million and CRES co-investments from ING for an aggregate amount of $58.6 million. On October 3, 2011, we completed the acquisition of ING REIM Asia for $45.3 million and three ING REIM Asia co-investments from ING for an aggregate amount of $13.9 million. On October 31, 2011, we completed the acquisition of ING REIM Europe for $442.5 million and one co-investment from ING for $7.4 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we also funded nine additional co-investments for an aggregate amount of $35.2 million related to ING REIM Europe. Our initial estimate of $940 million in total purchase price for the REIM Acquisitions has been reduced by approximately $47 million for certain fund and separate account management contracts that were not acquired and for certain balance sheet adjustments. There is a possibility of an additional closing of approximately $80 million and further co-investments of up to $20 million in the future related to our acquisition of ING REIM Europe.

As of September 30, 2012, CBRE Global Investors’ assets under management, or AUM, totaled $90.4 billion. AUM generally refers to the properties and other assets with respect to which we provide (or participate in) oversight, investment management services and other advice, and which generally consist of real estate properties or loans, securities portfolios and investments in operating companies and joint ventures. Our AUM is intended principally to reflect the extent of our presence in the real estate market, not the basis for determining our management fees. Our material assets under management consist of:

the total fair market value of the real estate properties and other assets either wholly-owned or held by joint ventures and other entities in which our sponsored funds or investment vehicles and client

accounts have invested or to which they have provided financing. Committed (but unfunded) capital from investors in our sponsored funds is not included in this component of our AUM. The value of development properties is included at estimated completion cost. In the case of real estate operating companies, the total value of real properties controlled by the companies, generally through joint ventures, is included in AUM; and

the net asset value of our managed securities portfolios, including investments (which may be comprised of committed but uncalled capital) in private real estate funds under our fund of funds program.

Our calculation of AUM may differ from the calculations of other asset managers, and as a result, this measure may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other asset managers.

Strategic in-fill acquisitions have also played a key role in expanding our geographic coverage and broadening and strengthening our service offerings. The companies we acquired have generally been quality regional firms or niche specialty firms that complement our existing platform within a region, or affiliates in which, in some cases, we held an equity interest. From 2005 to 2010, we completed 60 in-fill acquisitions for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $601 million, with most of these completed before the recession in 2008. In 2011, we completed five in-fill acquisitions, including a valuation business in Australia, a retail property management business in central and eastern Europe, our former affiliate company in Switzerland, a retail services business in the United Kingdom and a shopping center management business in the Netherlands. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we completed three in-fill acquisitions, including our former affiliate companies in Turkey and Vietnam, and a niche real estate investment advisor in the United Kingdom. As market conditions continue to improve, we believe acquisitions may once again serve as a growth engine, supplementing our organic growth.

Although our management believes that strategic acquisitions can significantly decrease the cost, time and commitment of management resources necessary to attain a meaningful competitive position within targeted markets or to expand our presence within our current markets, our management also believes that most acquisitions will initially have an adverse impact on our operating and net income, both as a result of transaction-related expenditures, which include severance, lease termination, transaction and deferred financing costs, among others, and the charges and costs of integrating the acquired business and its financial and accounting systems into our own. For example, through September 30, 2012, we incurred $258.9 million of transaction-related expenditures and integration costs in connection with the Trammell Crow Company Acquisition. In addition, through September 30, 2012, we incurred $103.5 million of transaction-related expenditures and integration costs in connection with the REIM Acquisitions. As with prior material acquisitions, we anticipate incurring significant integration expenses associated with the REIM Acquisitions in 2012 and beyond. We expect the total transaction costs relating to the REIM Acquisitions, including retention and integration costs, to be approximately $150 million.

International Operations

As we increase our international operations through either acquisitions or organic growth, fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the other currencies in which we may generate earnings could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. Our management team generally seeks to mitigate our exposure by balancing assets and liabilities that are denominated in the same currency and by maintaining cash positions outside the United States only at levels necessary for operating purposes. In addition, from time to time we enter into foreign currency exchange contracts to mitigate our exposure to exchange rate changes related to particular transactions and to hedge risks associated with the translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars.

With the closing of the REIM Acquisitions, our Global Investment Management business now has a significant amount of Euro-denominated assets under management as well as associated revenue and earnings in Europe, which has seen a developing crisis in sovereign debt resulting in a more pronounced movement in the value of the Euro against the U.S. dollar. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates have resulted and may continue to result in corresponding fluctuations in our AUM, revenue and earnings.

Due to the constantly changing currency exposures to which we are subject and the volatility of currency exchange rates, we cannot predict the effect of exchange rate fluctuations upon future operating results. In addition, fluctuations in currencies relative to the U.S. dollar may make it more difficult to perform period-to-period comparisons of our reported results of operations.

Our international operations also are subject to, among other things, political instability and changing regulatory environments, which may adversely affect our future financial condition and results of operations. Our management routinely monitors these risks and related costs and evaluates the appropriate amount of resources to allocate towards business activities in foreign countries where such risks and costs are particularly significant.

Leverage

We are highly leveraged and have significant debt service obligations. As of September 30, 2012, our total debt, excluding our notes payable on real estate and warehouse lines of credit (both of which are generally nonrecourse to us), was approximately $2.5 billion.

Our level of indebtedness and the operating and financial restrictions in our debt agreements place constraints on the operation of our business. Although our management believes that long-term indebtedness has been an important lever in the development of our business, including facilitating the Trammell Crow Company Acquisition and the REIM Acquisitions, the cash flow necessary to service this debt is not available for other general corporate purposes, which may limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and in the commercial real estate services industry. Our management seeks to mitigate this exposure both through the refinancing of debt when available on attractive terms and through selective repayment and retirement of indebtedness.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. The estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and on other factors that management believes to be reasonable. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Critical accounting policies represent the areas where more significant judgments and estimates are used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. A discussion of such critical accounting policies, which include revenue recognition, our consolidation policy, goodwill and other intangible assets, real estate and income taxes can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. There have been no material changes to these policies as of September 30, 2012.

The following table sets forth items derived from our consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, presented in dollars and as a percentage of revenue (dollars in thousands):

(1)	Includes EBITDA related to discontinued operations of $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

EBITDA represents earnings before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, while amounts shown for EBITDA, as adjusted, remove the impact of certain cash and non-cash charges related to acquisitions, cost containment and asset impairments. Our management believes that both of these measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry because the calculations of EBITDA and EBITDA, as adjusted, generally eliminate the effects of financing and income taxes and the accounting effects of capital spending and acquisitions, which would include impairment charges of goodwill and intangibles created from acquisitions. Such items may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. As a result, our management uses these measures to evaluate operating performance and for other discretionary purposes, including as a significant component when measuring our operating performance under our employee incentive programs. Additionally, we believe EBITDA and EBITDA, as adjusted, are useful to investors to assist them in getting a more complete picture of our results from operations.

However, EBITDA and EBITDA, as adjusted, are not recognized measurements under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and when analyzing our operating performance, readers should use EBITDA and EBITDA, as adjusted, in addition to, and not as an alternative for, net income as determined in accordance with GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of EBITDA and EBITDA, as adjusted, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Furthermore, EBITDA and EBITDA, as adjusted, are not intended to be measures of free cash flow for our management’s discretionary use, as they do not consider certain cash requirements such as tax and debt service payments. The amounts shown for EBITDA and EBITDA, as adjusted, also differ from the amounts calculated under similarly titled definitions in our debt instruments, which are further adjusted to reflect certain other cash and non-cash charges and are used to determine compliance with financial covenants and our ability to engage in certain activities, such as incurring additional debt and making certain restricted payments.

EBITDA and EBITDA, as adjusted for selected charges are calculated as follows (dollars in thousands):

Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2011

We reported consolidated net income of $39.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 on revenue of $1.6 billion as compared to consolidated net income of $63.8 million on revenue of $1.5 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

Our revenue on a consolidated basis for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased by $22.7 million, or 1.5%, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011. This increase was driven by contributions from the ING REIM Europe and ING REIM Asia portions of the REIM Acquisitions (acquired in the fourth quarter of 2011) as well as higher commercial mortgage brokerage activity (up 11.4%) and outsourcing activity (up 7.1%). These increases were partially offset by lower worldwide leasing (down 8.2%) and sales (down 7.3%) transaction revenue. Foreign currency translation had a $47.6 million negative impact on total revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Our cost of services on a consolidated basis increased by $20.6 million, or 2.3%, during the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011. This increase was primarily due to higher salaries and related costs associated with our global property and facilities management contracts. Additionally, included in cost of services for the three months ended September 30, 2012 were cost containment expenses of $7.0 million. These costs primarily represent severance costs incurred in our EMEA and Asia Pacific segments as we continue to calibrate our staffing levels to the current market environment. Foreign currency translation had a $28.2 million positive impact on cost of services during the three months ended September 30, 2012. Cost of services as a percentage of revenue increased from 58.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 to 58.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2012, primarily attributable to the aforementioned cost containment expenses and our mix of revenue, with outsourcing revenue comprising a greater portion of the total than in the prior year period as well as a decline in transaction revenue in certain countries that have a significant fixed cost compensation structure. These items were partially offset by a higher composition of revenue being non-commissionable in the current year as a result of the REIM Acquisitions.

Our operating, administrative and other expenses on a consolidated basis increased by $13.2 million, or 2.8%, during the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 31.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from 30.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2011. These increases were primarily driven by an increase in costs attributable to the ING REIM Europe and ING REIM Asia portions of the REIM Acquisitions, including transaction and integration costs. Additionally, included in operating, administrative and other expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012 were cost containment expenses of $10.6 million. These costs primarily represent severance costs incurred in our EMEA and Asia Pacific segments as we continue to calibrate our staffing levels to the current market environment. These added costs were partially offset by lower worldwide bonus accruals primarily resulting from weaker operating performance. Foreign currency translation had a $17.8 million positive impact on total operating expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Our depreciation and amortization expense on a consolidated basis increased by $8.8 million, or 28.1%, for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011. This increase was primarily attributable to higher amortization expense relative to intangibles acquired in the REIM Acquisitions. Higher depreciation expense in our Americas segment also contributed to the increase.

Our non-amortizable intangible asset impairment on a consolidated basis was $19.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. This non-cash write-off related to the discontinuation of a trade name in the United Kingdom.

Our gain on disposition of real estate on a consolidated basis was $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. These gains resulted from activity within our Development Services and Global Investment Management segments.

Our equity income from unconsolidated subsidiaries on a consolidated basis decreased by $3.8 million, or 57.2%, for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011. This decrease was primarily driven by lower equity earnings associated with an investment in our Americas segment.

Our other income was $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to other loss of $5.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. This activity was primarily reported within our Global Investment Management segment and represented net realized and unrealized gains and losses related to trading securities, which we acquired in our acquisition of CRES.

Our consolidated interest income decreased by $0.6 million, or 24.0%, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011. This decrease was mainly driven by lower interest income reported in our Americas segment in the current year.

Our consolidated interest expense increased by $4.6 million, or 11.7%, during the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to higher interest expense attributable to additional borrowings made to finance the REIM Acquisitions and the British pound sterling A-1 term loan facility entered into in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Our provision for income taxes on a consolidated basis was $22.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to $47.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Our effective tax rate from continuing operations, after adjusting pre-tax income to remove the portion attributable to non-controlling interests, decreased to 35.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to 42.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The changes in our provision for income taxes and our effective tax rate were primarily the result of a change in our mix of domestic and foreign earnings (losses), including a greater impact in the current year quarter of losses sustained in jurisdictions where no tax benefit could be provided, offset by the impact of discrete items, including the current year quarter benefit from a legal reorganization of certain entities in Asia Pacific. We anticipate our full year 2012 effective tax rate to be in the range of 35.0 to 38.0%.

Our net income attributable to non-controlling interests on a consolidated basis was $3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to a net loss attributable to non-controlling interests of $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. This activity primarily reflects our non-controlling interests’ share of income within our Global Investment Management and Development Services segments.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011

We reported consolidated net income of $142.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 on revenue of $4.5 billion as compared to consolidated net income of $159.4 million on revenue of $4.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Our revenue on a consolidated basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased by $366.5 million, or 8.8%, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This increase was driven by contributions from the REIM Acquisitions (acquired in the second half of 2011). Increased commercial mortgage brokerage activity (up 27.9%) and outsourcing activity (up 8.9%), as well as higher worldwide sales transaction revenue (up 5.2%) also contributed to the variance. Worldwide leasing transaction revenue decreased slightly (down 2.1%) in the current year, reflective of weak employment growth globally. Foreign currency translation had a $102.1 million negative impact on total revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Our cost of services on a consolidated basis increased by $162.8 million, or 6.6%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This increase was primarily due to higher salaries and related costs associated with our global property and facilities management

contracts. In addition, our sales professionals generally are paid on a commission basis, which substantially correlates with our transaction revenue performance. Accordingly, the increase in sales transaction revenue led to a corresponding increase in commission accruals. Also, included in cost of services for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were cost containment expenses of $7.0 million. Foreign currency translation had a $55.9 million positive impact on cost of services during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Cost of services as a percentage of revenue decreased from 59.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to 57.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, primarily attributable to our mix of revenue, with a higher composition of revenue being non-commissionable in the current year as a result of the REIM Acquisitions. In addition, all costs associated with the ING REIM businesses are included in operating, administrative and other expenses.

Our operating, administrative and other expenses on a consolidated basis increased by $126.4 million, or 9.9%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in costs attributable to the REIM Acquisitions, including transaction and integration costs. Additionally, included in operating, administrative and other expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were cost containment expenses of $10.6 million. Foreign currency translation had a $36.8 million positive impact on total operating expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue increased slightly to 31.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 from 30.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Our depreciation and amortization expense on a consolidated basis increased by $45.0 million, or 56.4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This increase was primarily attributable to higher amortization expense relative to intangibles acquired in the REIM Acquisitions. Higher depreciation expense in our Americas segment also contributed to the increase.

Our non-amortizable intangible asset impairment on a consolidated basis was $19.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This non-cash write-off related to the discontinuation of a trade name in the United Kingdom.

Our gain on disposition of real estate on a consolidated basis was $5.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to $11.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. These gains resulted from activity within our Development Services and Global Investment Management segments.

Our equity income from unconsolidated subsidiaries on a consolidated basis decreased by $19.1 million, or 49.0%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This decrease was primarily driven by higher equity earnings associated with gains on property sales within our Development Services segment in the prior year, which did not occur to the same extent in the current year. Also contributing to the decrease was lower equity earnings associated with an investment in our Americas segment in the current year.

Our other income on a consolidated basis was $4.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to other loss of $5.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This activity was primarily reported within our Global Investment Management segment and represented net realized and unrealized gains and losses related to trading securities, which we acquired in our acquisition of CRES.

Our consolidated interest income decreased by $1.3 million, or 18.1%, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This decrease was mainly driven by lower interest income reported in our Americas segment in the current year.

Our consolidated interest expense increased by $25.0 million, or 23.4%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to higher interest expense attributable to additional borrowings made to finance the REIM Acquisitions and the British pound sterling A-1 term loan facility entered into in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Our provision for income taxes on a consolidated basis was $102.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to $117.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Our effective tax rate from continuing operations, after adjusting pre-tax income to remove the portion attributable to non-controlling interests, decreased to 41.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to 42.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The changes in our provision for income taxes and our effective tax rate were primarily the result of a change in our mix of domestic and foreign earnings (losses), including a greater impact in the current year of losses sustained in jurisdictions where no tax benefit could be provided, offset by the impact of discrete items, including the current year benefit from a legal reorganization of certain entities in Asia Pacific.

Our consolidated income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, was $16.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This income was reported in our Global Investment Management segment and mostly related to gains from property sales, which were all attributable to non-controlling interests.

Our net income attributable to non-controlling interests on a consolidated basis was $5.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to $20.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This activity primarily reflects our non-controlling interests’ share of income within our Global Investment Management and Development Services segments.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2011

Americas

Revenue increased by $42.2 million, or 4.4%, for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011. This improvement was primarily driven by higher outsourcing activity and increased commercial mortgage brokerage revenue, partially offset by lower sales and lease transaction revenue. Foreign currency translation had an $8.9 million negative impact on total revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Cost of services increased by $38.0 million, or 6.3%, for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011, primarily due to higher salaries and related costs associated with our property and facilities management contracts. Foreign currency translation had a $5.1 million positive impact on cost of services during the three months ended September 30, 2012. Cost of services as a percentage of revenue increased to 64.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from 62.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, primarily due to a shift in the mix of revenue, with outsourcing revenue comprising a greater portion of the total than in the prior year period.

Operating, administrative and other expenses were relatively consistent at $232.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 versus $231.2 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Foreign currency translation had a $2.6 million positive impact on total operating expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2012.

EMEA

Revenue decreased by $47.2 million, or 17.1%, for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011. Foreign currency translation had a $21.2 million negative impact on total revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2012. In addition, the continued impact of Europe’s sovereign debt crisis resulted in lower sales, leasing and outsourcing activity in the region. Total revenue grew modestly in the United Kingdom, but this was more than offset by reduced revenue in other countries in the region, most notably in France and Germany.

Cost of services decreased by $14.7 million, or 8.9%, for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011, driven by foreign currency translation, which had a $14.7 million positive impact on cost of services in the current year period. Included in cost of services for the three months ended September 30, 2012, were cost containment expenses of $5.9 million, primarily representing severance costs incurred as we continue to calibrate our staffing levels to the current market environment. These costs were offset by lower salaries and related costs associated with our property and facilities management contracts. Cost of services as a percentage of revenue increased to 65.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from 60.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, primarily driven by the aforementioned cost containment expenses in the current year and our mix of revenue, with outsourcing revenue comprising a greater portion of the total than in the prior year period as well as a decline in transaction revenue in certain countries that have a significant fixed cost compensation structure.

Operating, administrative and other expenses decreased by $3.2 million, or 3.6%, for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011. Included in operating, administrative and other expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012, were cost containment expenses of $9.4 million, which primarily represented severance costs incurred as we continue to calibrate our staffing levels to the current market environment. Such costs were more than offset by foreign currency translation, which had a $7.4 million positive impact on total operating expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2012, as well as lower bonus accruals in the current year due to weaker operating performance.

Asia Pacific

Revenue decreased by $8.1 million, or 3.9%, for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011, reflecting weaker overall performance in several countries, particularly Australia, China and Japan. Foreign currency translation had an $11.4 million negative impact on total revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2012. Sales and leasing activity declined throughout the region, while outsourcing activity showed modest improvement.

Cost of services decreased by $2.6 million, or 2.0%, for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011. Included in cost of services for the three months ended September 30, 2012, were cost containment expenses of $1.1 million, primarily representing severance costs incurred as we continue to calibrate our staffing levels to the current market environment. In addition, in the current year, there was an increase in salaries and related costs associated with our property and facilities management contracts. These costs were more than offset by foreign currency translation, which had an $8.4 million positive impact on cost of services during the three months ended September 30, 2012, and a decrease in commission expense as a result of lower transaction revenue. Cost of services as a percentage of revenue increased to 63.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to 62.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, primarily driven by the aforementioned cost containment expenses in the current year as well as a shift in the mix of revenue, with outsourcing revenue comprising a greater portion of the total than in the prior year period.

Operating, administrative and other expenses remained flat at $56.8 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. Foreign currency translation had a $1.8 million positive impact on total operating expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2012. This was mostly offset by cost containment expenses of $1.2 million in the current year, which primarily represented severance costs incurred as we continue to calibrate our staffing levels to the current market environment.

Global Investment Management

Revenue increased by $36.9 million, or 47.6%, for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011, driven by contributions from the ING REIM Europe and ING REIM Asia portions of the REIM Acquisitions acquired in the fourth quarter of 2011. Foreign currency translation had a $6.1 million negative impact on total revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Operating, administrative and other expenses increased by $19.9 million, or 27.7%, for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in costs attributable to the REIM Acquisitions, including transaction and integration costs. Foreign currency translation had a $6.0 million positive impact on total operating expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Total AUM as of September 30, 2012 amounted to $90.4 billion at the end of the third quarter, a decrease of 1% from the second quarter of 2012 and 4% from year-end 2011.

Development Services

Revenue decreased slightly to $17.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to $18.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

Operating, administrative and other expenses decreased by $4.4 million, or 22.3%, for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011. The prior year quarter included real estate asset impairments, which did not recur in the current year, and higher incentive compensation.

As of September 30, 2012, development projects in process totaled $4.6 billion, down $0.1 billion from the second quarter of 2012 and $0.3 billion from year-end 2011. The inventory of pipeline deals totaled $1.9 billion, up $0.5 billion from the second quarter of 2012 and $0.7 billion from year-end 2011.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011

Americas

Revenue increased by $253.7 million, or 9.8%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This improvement was primarily driven by higher sales, leasing and outsourcing activity as well as increased commercial mortgage brokerage revenue. Foreign currency translation had a $23.2 million negative impact on total revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Cost of services increased by $173.3 million, or 10.5%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011, primarily due to higher salaries and related costs associated with our property and facilities management contracts. Increased commission expense resulting from higher sales and lease transaction revenue also contributed to an increase in cost of services in the current year. Foreign currency translation had an $11.7 million positive impact on cost of services during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Cost of services as a percentage of revenue increased to 63.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 from 63.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, primarily due to a shift in the mix of revenue, with outsourcing revenue comprising a greater portion of the total than in the prior year period.

Operating, administrative and other expenses increased by $19.1 million, or 3.0%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily driven by higher payroll-related costs, including bonuses, which resulted from increased headcount and improved operating performance. Foreign currency translation had a $7.1 million positive impact on total operating expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

EMEA

Revenue decreased by $67.6 million, or 9.1%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Foreign currency translation had a $47.2 million negative impact on total revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. In addition, Europe’s continuing weak employment growth resulted in lower leasing activity market-wide. However, outsourcing revenue improved despite uncertainty created by the region’s sovereign debt challenges. Revenue grew modestly in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, but this was offset by reduced revenue in other countries in the region, most notably in France, which had a particularly strong prior year.

Cost of services decreased by $26.0 million, or 5.7%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Foreign currency translation had a $30.1 million positive impact on cost of services during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. In addition, salaries and related costs associated with our property and facilities management contracts were lower in the current year. These items were partially offset by cost containment expenses of $5.9 million incurred in the current year and higher costs associated with increased headcount attributable to in-fill acquisitions completed in mid to late 2011. Cost of services as a percentage of revenue increased to 63.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 from 61.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, primarily driven by the aforementioned cost containment expenses in the current year and our mix of revenue, with outsourcing revenue comprising a greater portion of the total than in the prior year period, as well as a decline in transaction revenue in certain countries that have a significant fixed cost compensation structure.

Operating, administrative and other expenses increased by $3.9 million, or 1.6%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011, primarily due to cost

containment expenses of $9.4 million incurred in the current year and higher costs, including payroll-related and occupancy costs, partly stemming from in-fill acquisitions made in mid to late 2011. These costs were largely offset by foreign currency translation, which had a $15.7 million positive impact on total operating expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, as well as lower bonus accruals in the current year due to weaker operating performance.

Asia Pacific

Revenue increased by $11.3 million, or 2.0%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011, reflecting improved overall performance in several countries, particularly Australia, India and Singapore. Investment sales in the region saw decidedly less activity than in the prior year period. However, this was more than offset by growth in our outsourcing and appraisal revenue. Foreign currency translation had an $18.4 million negative impact on total revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Cost of services increased by $15.4 million, or 4.4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011, driven by higher salaries and related costs associated with our property and facilities management contracts throughout the region and increases in headcount, particularly in Australia (partially due to an in-fill acquisition completed in May 2011) as well as investments in China. These increases were partially offset by foreign currency translation, which had a $14.1 million positive impact on cost of services during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as well as lower commission expense attributable to the decrease in sales transaction revenue. Cost of services as a percentage of revenue increased to 64.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to 63.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, primarily driven by a shift in the mix of revenue, with outsourcing revenue comprising a greater portion of the total than in the prior year period.

Operating, administrative and other expenses increased by $6.6 million, or 4.3%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was partially due to higher costs stemming from an in-fill acquisition completed in Australia as well as investments in China. Foreign currency translation had a $1.6 million positive impact on total operating expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Global Investment Management

Revenue increased by $173.9 million, or 93.8%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011, driven by contributions from the REIM Acquisitions acquired in the second half of 2011. Foreign currency translation had a $13.3 million negative impact on total revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Operating, administrative and other expenses increased by $107.7 million, or 61.4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in costs attributable to the REIM Acquisitions, including transaction and integration costs. Foreign currency translation had a $12.4 million positive impact on total operating expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Development Services

Revenue decreased by $4.8 million, or 8.7%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011, attributable to a decrease in incentive fees and lower rental income as a result of property dispositions in the later quarters of 2011.

Operating, administrative and other expenses decreased by $10.9 million, or 18.1%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This decrease was

primarily driven by lower bonus accruals partially due to higher gains on property sales in the prior year as well as lower property operating expenses as a result of the property dispositions noted above in this segment’s revenue discussion.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We believe that we can satisfy our working capital requirements and funding of investments with internally generated cash flow and, as necessary, borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Our 2012 expected capital requirements include up to approximately $150 million of anticipated net capital expenditures, including requirements associated with the REIM Acquisitions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we incurred $64.4 million of net capital expenditures. As of September 30, 2012, we had aggregate commitments of $33.1 million to fund future co-investments in our Global Investment Management business, $11.1 million of which is expected to be funded in 2012. Additionally, as of September 30, 2012, we had committed to fund $15.5 million of additional capital to unconsolidated subsidiaries within our Development Services business, which we may be required to fund at any time. In recent years, the global credit markets have experienced unprecedented tightening, which could affect both the availability and cost of our funding sources in the future.

On February 15, 2011, we announced that we had entered into definitive agreements to acquire the majority of the real estate investment management business of Netherlands-based ING for approximately $940 million in cash. The acquisitions included substantially all of the ING REIM operations in Europe and Asia, as well as substantially all of CRES, its U.S.-based global real estate listed securities business. On February 15, 2011, we also announced that we expected to acquire approximately $55 million of CRES co-investments from ING and potentially additional interests in other funds managed by ING REIM Europe and ING REIM Asia. On July 1, 2011, we acquired CRES for $332.9 million and CRES co-investments from ING for an aggregate amount of $58.6 million, using borrowings from our tranche D term loan facility under our credit agreement to finance these transactions. On October 3, 2011, we acquired ING REIM’s operations in Asia for $45.3 million and three ING REIM Asia co-investments from ING for an aggregate amount of $13.9 million, using borrowings from our tranche C term loan facility under our credit agreement to finance these transactions. On October 31, 2011, we completed the ING REIM Europe portion of the REIM Acquisitions, acquiring ING REIM’s operations in Europe for $442.5 million and one co-investment from ING for $7.4 million, using borrowings from our tranche C term loan facility under our credit agreement, cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility to finance these transactions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we also funded nine additional co-investments for an aggregate amount of $35.2 million related to ING REIM Europe. Our initial estimate of $940 million in total purchase price for the REIM Acquisitions has been reduced by approximately $47 million for certain fund and separate account management contracts that were not acquired and for certain balance sheet adjustments. There is a possibility of an additional closing of approximately $80 million and further co-investments of up to $20 million in the future related to our acquisition of ING REIM Europe.

During 2003 and 2006, we required substantial amounts of equity and debt financing to fund our acquisitions of Insignia and Trammell Crow Company. We also conducted two debt offerings in recent years. The first, in 2009, was part of a capital restructuring in response to the global economic recession, and the second, in 2010, was to take advantage of low interest rates and term availability. Absent extraordinary transactions such as these and the equity offerings we completed during the unprecedented global capital markets disruption in 2008 and 2009, we historically have not sought external sources of financing and have relied on our internally generated cash flow and our revolving credit facility to fund our working capital, capital expenditure and investment requirements. In the absence of such extraordinary events, our management anticipates that our cash flow from operations and our revolving credit facility would be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for the foreseeable future, but at a minimum for the next 12 months. From time to time, we may seek to take advantage of market opportunities to refinance existing debt securities with new debt securities at lower interest rates, longer maturities or better terms.

As evidenced above, from time to time we consider potential strategic acquisitions. We believe that any future significant acquisitions that we may make most likely would require us to obtain additional debt or equity

financing. In the past, we have been able to obtain such financing for material transactions on terms that we believed to be reasonable. However, it is possible that we may not be able to find acquisition financing on favorable terms, or at all, in the future if we decide to make any further material acquisitions.

Our long-term liquidity needs, other than those related to ordinary course obligations and commitments such as operating leases, generally are comprised of two elements. The first is the repayment of the outstanding and anticipated principal amounts of our long-term indebtedness. We are unable to project with certainty whether our long-term cash flow from operations will be sufficient to repay our long-term debt when it comes due. If our cash flow is insufficient, then we expect that we would need to refinance such indebtedness or otherwise amend its terms to extend the maturity dates. We cannot make any assurances that such refinancing or amendments would be available on attractive terms, if at all.

The second long-term liquidity need is the repayment of obligations under our pension plans in the United Kingdom. Our subsidiaries based in the United Kingdom maintain two contributory defined benefit pension plans to provide retirement benefits to existing and former employees participating in the plans. With respect to these plans, our historical policy has been to contribute annually, an amount to fund pension cost as actuarially determined and as required by applicable laws and regulations. Our contributions to these plans are invested and, if these investments do not perform in the future as well as we expect, we will be required to provide additional funding to cover any shortfall. The underfunded status of our defined benefit pension plans included in pension liability in the consolidated balance sheets set forth in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report was $61.8 million and $60.9 million at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. We expect to contribute a total of $6.0 million to fund our pension plans for the year ending December 31, 2012, of which $4.4 million was funded as of September 30, 2012.

Historical Cash Flows

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities totaled $119.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 versus net cash provided by operating activities of $104.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase in cash used in operating activities in the current year was primarily due to higher bonuses and income taxes paid, an increase in real estate held for sale and under development and activities associated with securities acquired in our acquisition of CRES. These items were partially offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization expense in the current year and a greater increase in receivables in the prior year.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $153.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, a decrease of $393.0 million as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in cash used in investing activities in the current year was primarily driven by an increase in restricted cash in the prior year attributable to borrowings under our tranche C term loan facility which were held in escrow in anticipation of the completion of the ING REIM Europe portion of the REIM Acquisitions, cash paid for the acquisition of CRES in the prior year and greater payments associated with in-fill acquisitions in the prior year. These items were partially offset by higher net proceeds received from the disposition of real estate held for investment in the prior year, a decrease in cash as a result of the deconsolidation of CBRE Clarion U.S., L.P. in the current year and higher contributions to investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries in the current year.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities totaled $47.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 versus net cash provided by financing activities of $599.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase in cash used in financing activities was primarily due to $800.0 million of tranche C and D term loan facilities drawn in the prior year to finance the REIM Acquisitions. This was partially offset by higher net

repayments of notes payable on real estate in the prior year, greater distributions to non-controlling interests in the prior year as well as more financing costs paid in the prior year.

Significant Indebtedness

Our level of indebtedness increases the possibility that we may be unable to generate cash sufficient to pay when due the principal of, interest on or other amounts due in respect of our indebtedness and other obligations. In addition, we may incur additional debt from time to time to finance strategic acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or for other purposes, subject to the restrictions contained in the documents governing our indebtedness. If we incur additional debt, the risks associated with our leverage, including our ability to service our debt, would increase.

Since 2001, we have maintained credit facilities with Credit Suisse Group AG, or CS, and other lenders to fund strategic acquisitions and to provide for our working capital needs. On November 10, 2010, we entered into a new credit agreement (as amended, the Credit Agreement) with a syndicate of banks led by CS, as administrative and collateral agent, to completely refinance our previous credit facilities. On March 4, 2011, we entered into an amendment to our Credit Agreement to, among other things, increase flexibility to various covenants to accommodate the REIM Acquisitions and to maintain the availability of the $800.0 million incremental facility under the Credit Agreement. On March 4, 2011, we also entered into an incremental assumption agreement to allow for the establishment of new tranche C and tranche D term loan facilities. On November 10, 2011, we entered into an incremental assumption agreement led jointly by HSBC Bank USA, N.A. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC to allow for the establishment of a new tranche A-1 term loan facility, which also reduced the $800.0 million incremental facility under the Credit Agreement.

Our Credit Agreement currently provides for the following: (1) a $700.0 million revolving credit facility, including revolving credit loans, letters of credit and a swingline loan facility, maturing on May 10, 2015; (2) a $350.0 million tranche A term loan facility requiring quarterly principal payments, which began on December 31, 2010 and continue through September 30, 2015, with the balance payable on November 10, 2015; (3) a £187.0 million (approximately $300.0 million) tranche A-1 term loan facility requiring quarterly principal payments, which began on December 30, 2011 and continue through March 31, 2016, with the balance payable on May 10, 2016; (4) a $300.0 million tranche B term loan facility requiring quarterly principal payments, which began on December 31, 2010 and continue through September 30, 2016, with the balance payable on November 10, 2016; (5) a $400.0 million tranche C term loan facility requiring quarterly principal payments, which began on September 30, 2011 and continue through December 31, 2017, with the balance payable on March 4, 2018; (6) a $400.0 million tranche D term loan facility requiring quarterly principal payments, which began on September 30, 2011 and continue through June 30, 2019, with the balance payable on September 4, 2019 and (7) an accordion provision which provides the ability to borrow additional funds under an incremental facility. The incremental facility is equivalent to the sum of $800.0 million and the aggregate amount of all repayments of term loans and permanent reductions of revolver commitments under the Credit Agreement. However, at no time may the sum of all outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement exceed $2.95 billion. On November 10, 2011, we utilized the incremental facility to issue the tranche A-1 term loan facility.

one of our New Zealand subsidiaries and $50.0 million available to one of our U.K. subsidiaries. Additionally, outstanding borrowings under these sub-facilities may be up to 5.0% higher as allowed under the currency fluctuation provision in the Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2012 bear interest at varying rates, based at our option, on either the applicable fixed rate plus 1.65% to 3.15% or the daily rate plus 0.65% to 2.15% as determined by reference to our ratio of total debt less available cash to EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement). As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had $72.7 million and $44.8 million, respectively, of revolving credit facility principal outstanding with related weighted average interest rates of 3.3% and 4.3%, respectively, which are included in short-term borrowings in the consolidated balance sheets set forth in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report. As of September 30, 2012, letters of credit totaling $17.3 million were outstanding under the revolving credit facility. These letters of credit were primarily issued in the normal course of business as well as in connection with certain insurance programs and reduce the amount we may borrow under the revolving credit facility.

In March 2011, we entered into five interest rate swap agreements, all with effective dates in October 2011, and immediately designated them as cash flow hedges in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” The purpose of these interest rate swap agreements is to hedge potential changes to our cash flows due to the variable interest nature of our senior secured term loan facilities. The total notional amount of these interest rate swap agreements is $400.0 million, with $200.0 million expiring in October 2017 and $200.0 million expiring in September 2019. There was no hedge ineffectiveness for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the fair values of these interest rate swap agreements were reflected as a $50.2 million liability and a $39.9 million liability, respectively, and were included in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets set forth in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

On October 8, 2010, CBRE Services, Inc., or CBRE, our wholly-owned subsidiary, issued $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.625% senior notes due October 15, 2020. The 6.625% senior notes are unsecured obligations of CBRE, senior to all of its current and future subordinated indebtedness, but effectively subordinated to all of its current and future secured indebtedness. The 6.625% senior notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior basis by us and each subsidiary of CBRE that guarantees our Credit Agreement. Interest accrues at a rate of 6.625% per year and is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15, having commenced on April 15, 2011. The 6.625% senior notes are redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, on or after October 15, 2014 at a redemption price of 104.969% of the principal amount on that date and at declining prices thereafter. At any time prior to October 15, 2014, the 6.625% senior notes may be

redeemed by us, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and an applicable premium (as defined in the indenture governing these notes), which is based on the present value of the October 15, 2014 redemption price plus all remaining interest payments through October 15, 2014. In addition, prior to October 15, 2013, up to 35.0% of the original issued amount of the 6.625% senior notes may be redeemed at a redemption price of 106.625% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, solely with the net cash proceeds from public equity offerings. If a change of control triggering event (as defined in the indenture governing our 6.625% senior notes) occurs, we are obligated to make an offer to purchase the remaining 6.625% senior notes at a redemption price of 101.0% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The amount of the 6.625% senior notes included in the consolidated balance sheets set forth in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report was $350.0 million at both September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

On June 18, 2009, CBRE issued $450.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 11.625% senior subordinated notes due June 15, 2017 for approximately $435.9 million, net of discount. The 11.625% senior subordinated notes are unsecured senior subordinated obligations of CBRE and are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by us and our domestic subsidiaries that guarantee our Credit Agreement. Interest accrues at a rate of 11.625% per year and is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15. The 11.625% senior subordinated notes are redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, on or after June 15, 2013 at 105.813% of par on that date and at declining prices thereafter. At any time prior to June 15, 2013, the 11.625% senior subordinated notes may be redeemed by us, in whole or in part, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and an applicable premium (as defined in the indenture governing these notes), which is based on the present value of the June 15, 2013 redemption price plus all remaining interest payments through June 15, 2013. In addition, prior to June 15, 2012, up to 35.0% of the original issued amount of the 11.625% senior subordinated notes may be redeemed at 111.625% of par, plus accrued and unpaid interest, solely with the net cash proceeds from public equity offerings. In the event of a change of control (as defined in the indenture governing our 11.625% senior subordinated notes), we are obligated to make an offer to purchase the remaining 11.625% senior subordinated notes at a redemption price of 101.0% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The amount of the 11.625% senior subordinated notes included in the consolidated balance sheets set forth in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report, net of unamortized discount, was $440.1 million and $439.0 million at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

From time to time, Moody’s Investor Service, Inc., or Moody’s, and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, or Standard & Poor’s, rate our senior debt. Neither the Moody’s nor the Standard & Poor’s ratings impact our ability to borrow under our Credit Agreement. However, these ratings may impact our ability to borrow under new agreements in the future and the interest rates of any such future borrowings.

We had short-term borrowings of $531.0 million and $758.2 million with related average interest rates of 2.5% and 2.9% as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, which are included in the consolidated balance sheets set forth in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

On March 2, 2007, we entered into a $50.0 million credit note with Wells Fargo Bank for the purpose of purchasing eligible investments, which include cash equivalents, agency securities, A1/P1 commercial paper and eligible money market funds. The proceeds of this note are not made generally available to us, but instead are deposited in an investment account maintained by Wells Fargo Bank and used and applied solely to purchase eligible investment securities. This agreement has been amended several times and currently provides for a $40.0 million revolving credit note, bears interest at 0.25% and has a maturity date of December 31, 2012. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were no amounts outstanding under this note.

On March 4, 2008, we entered into a $35.0 million credit and security agreement with Bank of America, or BofA, for the purpose of purchasing eligible financial instruments, which include A1/P1 commercial paper, U.S. Treasury securities, GSE discount notes (as defined in the credit and security agreement) and money market funds. The proceeds of this loan are not made generally available to us, but instead are deposited in an investment account maintained by BofA and used and applied solely to purchase eligible financial instruments. This agreement has been amended several times and currently provides for a $5.0 million credit line, bears interest at 1% and has a maturity date of February 28, 2013. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were no amounts outstanding under this agreement.

On August 19, 2008, we entered into a $15.0 million uncommitted facility with First Tennessee Bank for the purpose of purchasing investments, which include cash equivalents, agency securities, A1/P1 commercial paper and eligible money market funds. The proceeds of this facility are not made generally available to us, but instead are held in a collateral account maintained by First Tennessee Bank. This agreement has been amended several times and currently provides for a $4.0 million credit line, bears interest at 0.25% and has a maturity date of August 4, 2013. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were no amounts outstanding under this facility.

Our wholly-owned subsidiary, CBRE Capital Markets, has the following warehouse lines of credit: credit agreements with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., or JP Morgan, BofA, TD Bank, N.A., or TD Bank, and Capital One, N.A., or Capital One, for the purpose of funding mortgage loans that will be resold, and a funding arrangement with Fannie Mae for the purpose of selling a percentage of certain closed multifamily loans.

On November 15, 2005, CBRE Capital Markets entered into a secured credit agreement with JP Morgan to establish a warehouse line of credit. Effective July 26, 2012, the warehouse line of credit was temporarily increased from $210.0 million to $300.0 million until August 15, 2012, after which it reverted back to the $210.0 million limit. Effective October 29, 2012, the warehouse line of credit was reduced to $200.0 million. This agreement has been amended several times and currently bears interest at the daily LIBOR plus 2.50% and has a maturity date of October 28, 2013.

On April 16, 2008, CBRE Capital Markets entered into a secured credit agreement with BofA to establish a warehouse line of credit. Effective March 2, 2012, the warehouse line of credit was increased from $125.0 million to $150.0 million. Effective June 13, 2012, the warehouse line of credit was further increased to $200.0 million. The senior secured revolving line of credit bears interest at the daily one-month LIBOR plus 2.0% with a maturity date of May 29, 2013.

In August 2009, CBRE Capital Markets entered into a funding arrangement with Fannie Mae under its Multifamily As Soon As Pooled Plus Agreement and its Multifamily As Soon As Pooled Sale Agreement, or ASAP Program. Under the ASAP Program, CBRE Capital Markets may elect, on a transaction by transaction basis, to sell a percentage of certain closed multifamily loans to Fannie Mae on an expedited basis. After all contingencies are satisfied, the ASAP Program requires that CBRE Capital Markets repurchase the interest in the multifamily loan previously sold to Fannie Mae followed by either a full delivery back to Fannie Mae via whole loan execution or a securitization into a mortgage backed security. Effective July 10, 2012, the maximum outstanding balance under the ASAP Program increased from $150.0 million to $200.0 million. Between the sale date to Fannie Mae and the repurchase date by CBRE Capital Markets, the outstanding balance bears interest and is payable to Fannie Mae at the daily LIBOR rate plus 1.35% with a LIBOR floor of 0.35%.

On December 21, 2010, CBRE Capital Markets entered into a secured credit agreement with TD Bank to establish a warehouse line of credit. Effective October 13, 2011, the warehouse line of credit was increased from $75.0 million to $100.0 million. Effective June 26, 2012, the warehouse line of credit was further increased to $150.0 million. The secured revolving line of credit bears interest at the daily one-month LIBOR plus 2.0% with a maturity date of June 30, 2013.

On December 21, 2010, CBRE Capital Markets entered into an uncommitted funding arrangement with Kemps Landing Capital Company, LLC, or Kemps Landing, providing CBRE Capital Markets with the ability to fund Freddie Mac multifamily loans. Effective March 2, 2012, the maximum outstanding balance allowed under this arrangement was decreased from $500.0 million to $475.0 million. Effective June 13, 2012, the maximum outstanding balance allowed under this arrangement was decreased further to $375.0 million. The outstanding borrowings bore interest at LIBOR plus 2.75% with a LIBOR floor of 0.25%. On January 6, 2012, the Federal Housing Finance Agency announced a termination of Freddie Mac’s purchase commitment agreement with Kemps Landing effective June 30, 2012. On September 14, 2012, our agreement with Kemps Landing was terminated.

On July 30, 2012, CBRE Capital Markets entered into a secured credit agreement with Capital One to establish a warehouse line of credit. This agreement provides for a $200.0 million senior secured revolving line of credit and bears interest at the daily one-month LIBOR plus 1.9% with a maturity date of July 29, 2013.

On September 21, 2012, CBRE Capital Markets entered into a repurchase facility with JP Morgan for additional warehouse capacity pursuant to a Master Repurchase Agreement. This agreement provides for a $300.0 million warehouse facility and bears interest at the daily one-month LIBOR plus 2.25% with a maturity date of September 20, 2013.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we had a maximum of $826.4 million of warehouse lines of credit principal outstanding. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had $458.3 million and $713.4 million of warehouse lines of credit principal outstanding, respectively, which are included in short-term borrowings in the consolidated balance sheets set forth in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report. Additionally, we had $465.8 million and $720.1 million of mortgage loans held for sale (warehouse receivables), as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, which substantially represented mortgage loans funded through the lines of credit that, while committed to be purchased, had not yet been purchased and which are also included in the consolidated balance sheets set forth in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We had guarantees totaling $32.4 million as of September 30, 2012, excluding guarantees related to pension liabilities, consolidated indebtedness and other obligations for which we have outstanding liabilities already accrued on our consolidated balance sheet, and operating leases. The $32.4 million primarily consists of guarantees related to our defined benefit pension plans in the United Kingdom (in excess of our outstanding pension liability of $61.8 million as of September 30, 2012), which are continuous guarantees that will not expire until all amounts have been paid out for our pension liabilities. The remainder of the guarantees mainly represents guarantees of obligations of unconsolidated subsidiaries, which expire at varying dates through September 2015, as well as various guarantees of management contracts in our operations overseas, which expire at the end of each of the respective agreements.

In addition, as of September 30, 2012, we had numerous completion and budget guarantees relating to development projects. These guarantees are made by us in the ordinary course of our Development Services business. Each of these guarantees requires us to complete construction of the relevant project within a specified timeframe and/or within a specified budget, with us potentially being liable for costs to complete in excess of such timeframe or budget. However, we generally have “guaranteed maximum price” contracts with reputable general contractors with respect to projects for which we provide these guarantees. These contracts are intended to pass the risk to such contractors. While there can be no assurance, we do not expect to incur any material losses under these guarantees.

In January 2008, CBRE Multifamily Capital, Inc., or CBRE MCI, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CBRE Capital Markets, Inc., entered into an agreement with Fannie Mae, under Fannie Mae’s Delegated Underwriting and Servicing Lender Program, or DUS Program, to provide financing for multifamily housing with five or more units. Under the DUS Program, CBRE MCI originates, underwrites, closes and services loans without prior approval by Fannie Mae, and in selected cases, is subject to sharing up to one-third of any losses on loans originated under the DUS Program. CBRE MCI has funded loans subject to such loss sharing arrangements with unpaid principal balances of $4.9 billion at September 30, 2012. Additionally, CBRE MCI has funded loans under the DUS Program that are not subject to loss sharing arrangements with unpaid principal balances of approximately $544.2 million at September 30, 2012. CBRE MCI, under its agreement with Fannie Mae, must post cash reserves under formulas established by Fannie Mae to provide for sufficient capital in the event losses occur. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, CBRE MCI had $7.5 million and $4.6 million, respectively, of cash deposited under this reserve arrangement, and had provided approximately $9.2 million and $6.4 million, respectively, of loan loss accruals. Fannie Mae’s recourse under the DUS Program is limited to the assets of CBRE MCI, which totaled approximately $299.7 million (including $203.6 million of warehouse receivables, a substantial majority of which are pledged against warehouse lines of credit and are therefore not available to Fannie Mae) at September 30, 2012.

An important part of the strategy for our Global Investment Management business involves investing our capital in certain real estate investments with our clients. These co-investments typically range from 2.0% to 5.0% of the equity in a particular fund. As of September 30, 2012, we had aggregate commitments of $33.1 million to fund future co-investments, $11.1 million of which is expected to be funded in 2012. In addition to required future capital contributions, some of the co-investment entities may request additional capital from us and our subsidiaries holding investments in those assets and the failure to provide these contributions could have adverse consequences to our interests in these investments.

Seasonality

A significant portion of our revenue is seasonal, which can affect an investor’s ability to compare our financial condition and results of operations on a quarter-by-quarter basis. Historically, this seasonality has caused our revenue, operating income, net income and cash flow from operating activities to be lower in the first two quarters and higher in the third and fourth quarters of each year. Earnings and cash flow have historically been particularly concentrated in the fourth quarter due to investors and companies focusing on completing transactions prior to calendar year-end. This has historically resulted in lower profits or a loss in the first quarter, with revenue and profitability improving in each subsequent quarter.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2011-10, “Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Derecognition of in Substance Real Estate – a Scope Clarification.” This ASU requires that a reporting entity that ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary that is in substance real estate as a result of default on the subsidiary’s nonrecourse debt would apply FASB ASC Subtopic 360-20, “Property, Plant, and Equipment – Real Estate Sales,” to determine whether to derecognize assets and liabilities of that subsidiary. ASU 2011-10 is effective prospectively for a deconsolidation event that takes place in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2012. We do not believe the adoption of this update will have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The information in this section should be read in connection with the information on market risk related to changes in interest rates and non-U.S. currency exchange rates in Part II, Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. Our exposure to market risk consists of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations related to our international operations and changes in interest rates on debt obligations. We manage such risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of our debt funding and by using derivative financial instruments. We apply the “Derivatives and Hedging” Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) (Topic 815) when accounting for derivative financial instruments. In all cases, we view derivative financial instruments as a risk management tool and, accordingly, do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, approximately 39% of our business was transacted in local currencies of foreign countries, the majority of which includes the Euro, the British pound sterling, the Canadian dollar, the Chinese yuan, the Hong Kong dollar, the Japanese yen, the Singapore dollar, the Australian dollar and the Indian rupee. We attempt to manage our exposure primarily by balancing assets and liabilities and maintaining cash positions in foreign currencies only at levels necessary for operating purposes. We routinely monitor our exposure to currency exchange rate changes in connection with transactions and sometimes enter into foreign currency exchange option and forward contracts to limit our exposure to such transactions, as appropriate. In the normal course of business, we also sometimes utilize derivative financial instruments in the form of foreign currency exchange contracts to mitigate foreign currency exchange exposure resulting from intercompany loans, expected cash flow and earnings. Included in the consolidated statement of operations set forth in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report were charges of $1.5 million and $3.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, and gains of $1.0 million and charges of $1.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, resulting from net gains and losses on foreign currency exchange option agreements. As of September 30, 2012, the fair values of these foreign currency exchange option agreements were reflected as a $0.6 million asset and were included in prepaid expenses in the consolidated balance sheets set forth in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

In March 2011, we entered into five interest rate swap agreements, all with effective dates in October 2011, and immediately designated them as cash flow hedges in accordance with Topic 815. The purpose of these interest rate swap agreements is to hedge potential changes to our cash flows due to the variable interest nature of our senior secured term loan facilities. The total notional amount of these interest rate swap agreements is $400.0 million, with $200.0 million expiring in October 2017 and $200.0 million expiring in September 2019. There was no hedge ineffectiveness for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. As of September 30, 2012, the fair values of these interest rate swap agreements were reflected as a $50.2 million liability and were included in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets set forth in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Based upon information from third-party banks, the estimated fair value of our senior secured term loans was approximately $1.6 billion at September 30, 2012. Based on dealers’ quotes, the estimated fair values of our 6.625% senior notes and 11.625% senior subordinated notes were $383.3 million and $495.1 million, respectively, at September 30, 2012.

We utilize sensitivity analyses to assess the potential effect of our variable rate debt. If interest rates were to increase by 10.0% on our outstanding variable rate debt, excluding notes payable on real estate, at September 30, 2012, the net impact of the additional interest cost would be a decrease of $5.0 million on pre-tax income and an increase of $5.0 million on cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

We also have $365.6 million of notes payable on real estate as of September 30, 2012. Interest costs relating to notes payable on real estate include both interest that is expensed and interest that is capitalized as part of the cost of real estate. If interest rates were to increase by 10.0%, our total estimated interest cost related to notes

payable would increase by approximately $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. From time to time, we enter into interest rate swap and cap agreements in order to limit our interest expense related to our notes payable on real estate. If any of these agreements are not designated as effective hedges, then they are marked to market each period with the change in fair value recognized in current period earnings. The net impact on our earnings resulting from gains and/or losses on interest rate swap and cap agreements associated with notes payable on real estate has not been significant.

We also enter into loan commitments that relate to the origination or acquisition of commercial mortgage loans that will be held for resale. FASB ASC Topic 815 requires that these commitments be recorded at their fair values as derivatives. The net impact on our financial position and earnings resulting from these derivatives contracts has not been significant.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our policy for disclosure controls and procedures provides guidance on the evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures and is designed to ensure that all corporate disclosure is complete and accurate in all material respects and that all information required to be disclosed in the periodic reports submitted by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods and in the manner specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Our Disclosure Committee consisting of the principal accounting officer, general counsel, chief communication officer, senior officers of each significant business line and other select employees assisted the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer in this evaluation. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as required by the Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(c) as of the end of the period covered by this report.

No changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
