“Colliers reported strong second quarter results with continued solid revenue growth across all service lines,” said Jay S. Hennick, Global Chairman & CEO of Colliers.
“During the quarter, we also continued to grow our Investment Management segment in both size and scale furthering our goal of becoming a major player in the rapidly growing alternative private capital industry. We completed two acquisitions and a third after quarter end. Then, in late June, we announced the addition of Versus Capital, a highly successful alternative real asset manager in the US with strong private wealth distribution capabilities. Once completed, Colliers will have more than $85 billion in assets under management (“AUM”).“
“Investment Management now comprises about 30% of Colliers’ pro forma annualized adjusted EBITDA and the business compares very favorably with other public peers in the investment management industry. Our revenues are predominately from recurring management fees, about 90% of our investment funds are perpetual or long-dated strategies – defined as 10 years or more, and 70% are in rapidly growing sectors like alternatives and infrastructure. Most importantly, each of our platforms has a long history of delivering top-tier performance for investors through all investment cycles. Over the past 6 years, Colliers has built an impressive Investment Management business and we continue to see great potential in the years to come.”
“Separately, during the quarter, we added a building consultancy and project management leader in the UK, enhancing our service capabilities in Europe and continuing the growth of our Outsourcing & Advisory segment.”
“Overall, Colliers continues to transform into a more resilient, global and diversified services company with 55% of our pro forma earnings coming from recurring revenue streams and the balance from essential advisory services. Based on acquisitions already completed or announced, we expect 2022 to be a record year of capital deployment, with more than $1 billion invested.“
“With our strong global brand and operating platform, proven track record of more than 27 years, balanced and diversified business model, unique enterprising culture and significant inside ownership, we expect to continue delivering excellent returns for shareholders for many years to come,” he concluded.
