The Zacks Real Estate Operations industry constituents are poised to gain from the increased adoption of outsourced real estate services and emerging trends. The easing of monetary policy in many large markets is expected to result in a decrease in borrowing costs, more availability of credit and drive economic growth, in turn fueling transaction activity. Companies like Newmark Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nmrk#NASDAQ">NMRK</a>), Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/kw#NYSE">KW</a>) and RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rmax#NYSE">RMAX</a>) are set to benefit from these positive trends.
However, the industry faces challenges such as macroeconomic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions. Customers remain focused on cost controls and for certain asset categories are delaying their decision-making with respect to leasing.
About the Industry
The Zacks Real Estate Operations industry comprises companies that provide leasing, property management, investment management, valuation, development services, facility management, project management, transaction and consulting services, among others. However, real estate investment trusts or REITs are excluded from this group. Economic trends and government policies impact the real estate market (global and regional), which determines the industry&#39;s performance. Economic activity, employment growth, office-based employment, interest-rate levels, costs and availability of credit, tax and regulatory policies, and the geopolitical environment are the major factors shaping the real estate market&#39;s fate. Also, pandemic-induced public health challenges and geopolitical issues have affected property sales and the leasing lines of businesses.
What&#39;s Shaping the Real Estate Operations Industry&#39;s Future?
Interest Rate Cut Provides Relief for Transaction-Based Business: The latest cut in the interest rates by the Federal Reserve and anticipations of future reductions are expected to drive transaction-based businesses in the United States. Along with the United States, the easing of monetary policy in many large markets is expected to result in a decrease in borrowing costs, more availability of credit, and drive economic growth. This is expected to help investors in better price discovery and consequently result in reduced transaction completion times. It is also expected to lead to a rise in the average deal size, thereby bolstering the industry&#39;s near-term revenue prospects.
Outsourcing of Real Estate Needs to Remain Strong: Real estate occupiers, including corporations, public sector entities, healthcare providers, and those in finance, industry, life sciences and technology, are increasingly preferring to outsource their real estate needs. They are entrusting third-party real estate experts to enhance execution and efficiency. Organizations are seeking strategic advice to reimagine their workplaces and workstyles to foster culture, attract talent and improve performance. These developments are creating opportunities for participants in the real estate operations industry. Major players in the industry are leveraging this transition, securing new clients and expanding relationships with existing ones. Also, companies in this industry continue to prioritize investments in technology as it consistently improves efficiency, delivers client services and supports market share growth.
Certain Real Estate Categories&#39; Demand Hurt: The pandemic has significantly reshaped the use of commercial real estate. Also, economic uncertainty continues to affect real estate sales and leasing activities. While companies are promoting the return to office, this transition is gradual, which is hindering tenants&#39; confidence in long-term commitments. As such, pre-pandemic office occupancy levels are likely to remain elusive in the near or intermediate term. Amid a volatile environment and geopolitical issues, customers remain focused on cost controls and delaying their decision-making with respect to leasing. As such, industrial real estate demand remains subdued and this trend is expected to continue in the near term. Additionally, the pace of business-related travel and in-person interactions has not fully rebounded to pre-pandemic norms.

CBRE Group Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cbre#NYSE">CBRE</a>) reported second-quarter 2024 core earnings per share of 81 cents, ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 69 cents. However, the reported figure declined 1.2% year over year.
Reflecting positive sentiments, shares of CBRE were up more than 9% so far today. Results reflect growth in its resilient lines of business. Global Workplace Solutions (&quot;GWS&quot;) experienced strong business wins with a healthy balance of new clients and expansion. The leasing business performed well due to office leasing revenue growth in the United States, driven by strength in New York. However, the Real Estate Investments segment&#39;s revenues decreased year over year.
Quarterly revenues were up 8.7% year over year to $8.39 billion but compared unfavorably with the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $8.52 billion.
Net revenues increased 11% (11.7% in local currency) year over year to $4.97 billion. Core EBITDA rose marginally (1.7% in local currency) to $505 million.
<h3>Quarter in Detail</h3>
CBRE Group&#39;s Advisory Services segment reported a year-over-year revenue increase of 8.6% (9.3% in local currency) to $2.22 billion. Our estimate was nearly the same as reported number.
Global leasing revenues rose 9% (same local currency), driven by leasing revenue growth in the Americas and Asia-Pacific regions.
Global sales revenues fell 3% (2% in local currency) even though property sales revenues began to stabilize. However, mortgage origination revenue rose 38% (same local currency) due to a 20% increase in loan origination fees and higher interest earnings on escrow balances.
The GWS segment registered a year-over-year increase of 9.5% (10.3% in local currency) in revenues to $5.94 billion. Our estimate was pegged at $5.98 billion.
Paced by the sustained strength in the Local business, Facilities management net revenues rose 18% (19% in local currency). Project management net revenues increased 11% (12% in local currency) due to the continued strong growth in Turner &amp; Townsend. Net operating margin improved 20 basis points compared with first-quarter 2024, reflecting the early benefit of recent cost actions, but was below the prior-year period.
The Real Estate Investments segment experienced a decrease of 9.2% (same local currency) in revenues to $232 million.
At the end of the second quarter of 2024, assets under management decreased $1.5 billion from the first quarter of 2024 to $142.5 billion due to lower asset values and an adverse foreign currency movement.
In the second quarter of 2024, CBRE acquired Direct Line Global, which is a leading provider of technical facilities management services for data center owners and operators, for a total cash and non-cash consideration of $290.9 million. CBRE also acquired a provider of local facilities management technical services in Canada.
During the quarter, CBRE also announced its plan to combine its project management business with its Turner &amp; Townsend subsidiary.
<h3>Balance Sheet Position</h3>
CBRE Group exited the second quarter of 2024 with cash and cash equivalents of $928 million, down from $1.04 billion as of Mar 31, 2024.
As of Jun 30, 2024, CBRE Group had $3.7 billion in total liquidity. This comprised nearly $927.7 million in cash in addition to the ability to borrow a total of approximately $2.7 billion under its revolving credit facilities, net of any outstanding letters of credit. The company&#39;s net leverage ratio was 1.58x as of the same date, significantly less than CBRE&#39;s primary debt covenant of 4.25x.
During the June-end quarter, the company repurchased approximately 0.6 million shares for $48.4 million. As of Jun 30, 2024, it had $1.4 billion of stock-repurchase capacity remaining under its authorized buyback program.
<h3>Outlook</h3>
For 2024, CBRE projects its core EPS in the range of $4.70-$4.90, up from the previous guided range of $4.25-$4.65. The company expects approximately over 45% of its full-year core EPS to be achieved in the fourth quarter of 2024. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the same is currently pegged at $4.48, which is below the guided range.
Currently, CBRE Group carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

The anticipation of Federal Reserve rate cuts is starting to have a favorable impact on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mortgages">real estate mortgage market. </a>
The average contract interest rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages with conforming loan balances ($766,550 or less) decreased by 13 basis points to 6.87% for the week ending July 12, 2024, down from 7% the prior week, as reported by the Mortgage Bankers Association Wednesday. 
This decline represents the most significant drop in borrowing costs in around four months and the lowest rate since early March. 
Fed Rate Cut Bets, Lower Treasury Yields Push Mortgage Rates Down
The reduction was largely propelled by rising expectations on Fed rate cuts and the fall in 30-year Treasury yields, a key indicator for long-term mortgage rates, which decreased by approximately 30 basis points month-to-date to 4.37%.
Market expectations for a 25 basis point rate cut in September have surged to nearly 100%, up from a 60% likelihood a month ago, according to the CME FedWatch Tool.
Joel Kan, the MBA's vice president, said, &#8220;Mortgage rates declined last week, as recent signs of cooling inflation and the increased likelihood of Fed rate cuts later this year pulled them lower.&#8221;

Rising Mortgage Demand
The 13 basis point reduction in mortgage rates has positively influenced demand, with applications for new mortgages and refinancing existing mortgages rising significantly last week. 
According to MBA data, mortgage applications in the U.S. jumped by 3.9% in the third week of July, recovering from declines in the previous two weeks to achieve the sharpest increase in a month.
Refinancing applications, which are particularly sensitive to weekly rate changes, increased by 15% from the previous week, reaching their highest level in two years.

CBRE Group, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cbre#NYSE">CBRE</a>)&nbsp;recently announced its plan to combine its Project Management business with Turner &amp; Townsend. Subject to satisfaction of regulatory and other customary conditions, as well as completion of required consultations with employee Works Councils in certain jurisdictions, the transaction is expected to close at the end of 2024.
The integration of these two businesses is anticipated to yield net synergies, resulting in an incremental run-rate core earnings per share of approximately 15 cents by the end of 2027. This amount is expected to increase over time. The cost of incremental investment in Turner &amp; Townsend/CBRE Project Management is approximately $70 million, excluding deal costs.
In November 2021, CBRE acquired a 60% ownership interest in Turner &amp; Townsend. Since the acquisition, Turner &amp; Townsend has achieved a compounded revenue growth rate of more than 20%.
Turner &amp; Townsend offers program management, cost consultancy and project management services around the world. It operates across three distinct business segments, namely, Real Estate, Infrastructure, and Energy and Natural Resources.
Per Bob Sulentic, chair and CEO of CBRE, &quot;Unifying our Project Management business will create an offering that is unmatched for its scale and breadth of capabilities, with more than 20,000 employees serving clients in over 60 countries. Powerful secular trends, particularly increased spending on infrastructure, green energy, and employee experience, are growth catalysts for this business, and we are well positioned to capitalize on this significant opportunity.&quot;
Following the transaction closure, CBRE will have a 70% ownership stake in the combined Turner &amp; Townsend/CBRE Project Management business, leaving the Turner &amp; Townsend partners with the remaining 30%.
In 2023, CBRE&#39;s Project Management business, including Turner &amp; Townsend, generated net revenues of approximately $3 billion. Since 2021, the combined net revenue has grown at a double-digit annual rate, with a net profit margin of approximately 15%.
Starting from 2025, CBRE plans to present Project Management results in a new segment. This new segment will be separate from Global Workplace Solutions and will aim to enhance transparency for investors.
CBRE Group is well-poised to gain from its wide range of real estate products and services. The outsourcing business remains healthy and its pipeline is likely to remain elevated, offering it scope for growth. Strategic buyouts and technology investments are expected to drive its performance. However, persistent macroeconomic uncertainties and a high interest rate environment adds to the company&#39;s woes.
Over the past year, shares of this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company have gained 16.6% compared with the industry&#39;s upside of 19.2%.

CBRE Group to Merge its Project Management Business

Global real estate investment company Kennedy Wilson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KW#NYSE">KW</a>) and its partner have acquired Heathrow Estate, a high quality multi-let industrial property in a prime distribution location in West London for&nbsp;$111 million, excluding closing costs.
The income producing asset, which comprises a total of approximately 300,000 square feet of modern warehouse and ancillary office space, is&nbsp;84%&nbsp;leased to a diverse mix of occupiers including Asendia, Tailsco, and HSS Hire. Heathrow Estate provides attractive short to medium term opportunities to add value through the extension of existing tenant leases and the leasing of vacant units. Kennedy Wilson will also undertake an active asset management strategy to improve on-site services and upgrade sustainability performance, as well as reviewing the possibility for future alternate uses.
Situated in West London, Heathrow Estate is strategically located in an established industrial hub, benefiting from direct access to Junction 4 of the M4, Heathrow Airport&#39;s Cargo Terminal, as well as Junctions 13 and 14 of the M25.
This latest acquisition expands Kennedy Wilson&#39;s investment management program as well as its global industrial platform, which totals over 12 million square feet and represents&nbsp;$2.1 billion&nbsp;of AUM. In the UK, Kennedy Wilson manages approximately&nbsp;$1.6 billion&nbsp;of industrial space, comprising approximately 9 million square feet, with an occupancy of&nbsp;98%.
&quot;This acquisition demonstrates our ability to identify attractive investments in established distribution locations with strong underlying fundamentals that provide excellent potential for rental growth,&quot; said Mike Pegler, President, Kennedy Wilson Europe. &quot;We are pleased to expand our growing global industrial platform, and we are now focused on executing the business plan while leveraging our expertise to capture significant reversion through accretive and targeted capital expenditure.&quot;
Kennedy Wilson has a&nbsp;10%&nbsp;ownership interest in Heathrow Estate, which was acquired with equity and a&nbsp;$73 million&nbsp;secured loan, and will earn customary fees for overseeing the asset management of the property.
