2022 Annual Report Accelerating success. L E T T E R T O S H A R E H O L D E R S At Colliers, we accelerate success. Our growth reflects the strength of our diversified business and enterprising culture. In 2022, Colliers reported impressive results as we continued to accelerate the success of our clients, our investors and our people. Our Investment Management, Outsourcing & Advisory, and Leasing segments delivered strong growth, more than offsetting a slowdown in Capital Markets. Having a larger proportion of recurring services has transformed Colliers into a more balanced and resilient company – one that is diversified across regions, services, and client types. Our enterprising culture and growth mindset drive our success. In 2021, we established Enterprise ’25, our ambitious five-year growth strategy supported by six pillars. I am pleased to say we are pacing well ahead of our targets, with earnings from recurring revenue streams now representing 58% of our proforma AEBITDA.* Making strategic investments continued to be a key priority – and we see more opportunities to build for our future now than at any other point in our history. In 2022, we deployed a record $1.0 billion of capital on acquisitions to augment internal growth, increase market share, expand services, and extend our geographic reach. As a result, Colliers is better equipped than ever to help our clients and investors navigate their biggest challenges. We significantly strengthened our Investment Management platform by investing in new capabilities, specifically in long-duration, highly differentiated assets under management. In six short years, we have firmly established Colliers as a top player in the rapidly growing alternative private capital industry.
