While the adjusted earnings per share came in at $1.31, slightly below the mean forecast of $1.38 by analysts polled by FactSet.
The company’s revenue also decreased by 4.4% to $1.08 billion, falling just short of the expected $1.09 billion.
Despite these setbacks, Colliers’ outsourcing and advisory business saw a 9.2% increase in revenue, reaching $519.6 million. Additionally, revenue for its investment management arm surged 58% to $118.9 million. However, leasing revenue dropped by 7.5%, and revenue from capital markets operations fell by 39%.
